a) For my photo shoot I could do something with my brother because I know he has Claustrophobia. I would also use different angles to capture how he's feeling and possibly get him in a difficult situation that he doesn't like. Facial expressions will be important if I use people, but I will have to use a special lighting or angle if I use objects.

b) Claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces) - I could position my little brother in a box that he doesn't quite fit in and get him uncomfortable. A cardboard box would probably work best. The angle I would shoot at could be from the top looking down on him in the box. Another idea would be to just get his hand jutting out of the box that way you don't actually see him in the box, but you know that he's in it.

Linonophobia (fear of string) - For this fear, I could have myself or one of my friends be wrapped up entirely in string with only their eyes visible. I would have a blank background and have them look as scared as possible, expressing it with only their eyes. For a better effect, I could play around with the lighting and highlight one side of their body while leaving the other half in darkness.

Hagiophobia (fear of saints or holy things) - For this picture I could pose it in a dark room with one distinct light source. I would have someone sit in front of the light source, illuminating them the most, then hopefully there would be enough light to illuminate someone behind them. That person would hold maybe a crucifix or rosary to represent the fear. The light would clearly show the person in the front, and only a hint of the person behind them.

4. For Claustrophobia I could have natural framing to outline the person in the box. For Linonophobia I could use the rule of thirds on a blank wall, and for Hagiophobia I could use an extreme light source.
