Photographs

This image is seen as the most expensive to date. Moonlight by Edward Steichen shows a great sense of mystery but in many other ways a sense of beauty and peace. The reflection of the water helps achive these senses.

This image by Cindy Sherman to me depicts a type of innocence through both her body language and facial expressions. This is also captured simply by the image not being centred.

This is an image by Robert Adams that i like purely because of the peace of the image. There is nothng else going on in the photograph only the image of the ocean.

Richard Billingham took several pictures depicting his family life mostly revolving around his father and his struggle with being an alcoholic. This photo like Clark's and Wall's shows a slight sense of paranoia almost a fear of going to sleep. This of course is captured through the fathers eyes and them being fully trained and focussed on the camera.

The angle of this photo by Martin Parr helps identify the scale of the image and just how many people are present and that the photo is done in the moment, nothing scripted.

This image by Jeff Wall like Larry Clark's image demonstrates a sense of paranoia only this time without any influence from drugs. The man is shown looking over his shoulder at what we see as a shadow like figure behind the tree.

Gregory Crewdson's works appear to be done in a way that a movie might. But this image shows a man standing in the rain next to what appears to be a broken down car. This to me shows a sense of hopelessness where no one is there to help in a time of need, almost captivating a sense of depression.

This image by Araki interests me in the way that the final image came out. The people in the image are blurred and almost appear as though they are ghosts.

This is an image by Tony Vaccaro of what appears to be a soldier kissing his daughter goodbye. This image i feel shows the real emotion of what it would really feel like as a father saying goodbye to youtr child for what could be the last time.

To me this photo by Larry clark shows a form of paranoia caused by the use of drugs.We are not able to see exactly what the man is pointing the gun at and because of this the sense of paranoia is achieved.
