All equally wrong
Around 70 is the correct face shape
Joseph Benoit Suvee - the invention of drawing - https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/231/joseph-benoit-suvee-the-invention-of-drawing-recto-sketch-of-lower-leg-bones-of-human-skeleton-verso-belgian-about-1791/
The story of this piece goes that the woman was making a tracing of the mans silhouette on the wall to help remember him when he went away. But she fails to make the most of the time when he is there she is not living in the moment she is focused too much on making a document of him when isn't there.
Kayne West - Reluctant selfie - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/kanye-west-most-reluctant-selfie-ever-9154674.html
Kayne looks passive aggressive and fed up of the selfie. The trend seems to be all people want from celebrities they don't want a conversation they would much rather have a photo for evidence and brag about to their mates.

Hoax
The two girl who made these ethereal photos were given a camera by their father and they processed and printed these images themselves. They tried to convince their parents that fairies lived at the bottom of their garden. In reality they were paper the story got so much coverage that the writer of Sherlock homes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came to see if they actually existed.
William Hope - https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2010/oct/29/haunted-photographs-william-hope-halloween
He created these photos which looked haunted he used techniques like scratching out subjects eyes and creating highlights which make the images have this ethereal look. His work is an example of victorian spirit photography.

Robert Capa - https://www.magnumphotos.com/photographer/robert-capa/ https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/objects/civillians-carrying-belongings-in-the-streets-madrid-0
Capa was a war photographer who documented many wars but he's probably most famous for his pictures of the Spanish civil war. Capa’s mother was a migrant from Hungry who travelled to states in search of the American dream for her and her family. His images of civilians fleeing are my personal favourites they document the chaos and the urgency they must feel in escaping their homes with the fears of war. You get a feeling that he understands them being a son of migrant himself.
Philip-Lorca diCorcia - https://www.moma.org/artists/7027 https://www.moma.org/artists/7027?=undefined&page=&direction= https://www.moma.org/collection/works/57815?artist_id=7027&page=1&sov_referrer=artist
diCorcia’s images have allot of narrative attached to them they like Crewdson are highly constructed and attempt to look realistic as they could be part of a real life. The particular image I picked out asks allot of questions did he fall, was he pushed, has he been mugged. What circumstances have occurred to put the subject on the floor with his belongings out in front of him.
Jennifer Karady - https://jenniferkarady.com/soldier_stories1.html
These images have a really traumatic narrative and explore the the long term effects of being a solider. Its a really important piece of work and the image alone or the text alone explain the experience but in combination they explain his personal experience and we as viewers and readers feel empathy for him that his experience at war will continue to effect his day to day life for the rest of his existence.
Taryn Simons - The innocents - http://tarynsimon.com/works/innocents/#1
Again another very important piece of work Simons photographs people who have served in prison for a crime they didn't commit. Some of these people spent most of their adult lives in prison because they were prosecuted wrongly for a crime they didn't commit the crimes they were accused of are brutal and violent crimes ( Rapes, murder, robbery). The images tell their story some of the images are taken at the scene of the crime others are taken at the places where they were arrested. The images are very dark and this is to visualise the dark times they have been through. The series is very interesting without the use of text we wouldn't know who these people are and their story. Text is something Simons uses very well I have previously looked at her work and she is one of the few artists that uses text so effectively.
Stuart Franklin - The documentary impulse - https://www.lensculture.com/articles/stuart-franklin-stuart-franklin-on-impulses-documentary-and-otherwise
Documentary photographer who uses many styles landscape, documentary, still life.
Can a photography tell the truth ?
What stops it from telling the truth ?
