The frame on this image is very effective as it is very wide yet shallow, meaning there is a wide scope of the landscape this is very suited to the surface of the corn field that it's taken above as it is all fairly the same height. I like how the image is taken as the corn closest to the camera and the backdrop is all out of focus, making the viewer focus into the middle part, where the little boy has his head poking out the corn.
The shot is very ethereal, the image connotes the idea of femininity as a very natural, showing women as spiritually in touch with the natural world. The way the woman is backed in to the ferns of the tree give the effect she is merging and at one with nature. The image emphasizes the importance of location giving a lot of different ideas to the shot and meaning to the subject shot within the portraiture.
The shot captures the man in his own home, probably in his normal habits and doings, this shows the relevance of shooting the subject of the portrait in their own habitat, representing what they're interests and habits are, getting a natural and real portrayal of them as people rather than just a subject in a picture. The expression and action that the man is making almost looks as though he's saying this is my reality and life.
This image captures an action showing a habit, the man looks to be in his own environment, the clothes he is wearing and look that he is giving and the cigarette hanging out his mouth all come together to set a scene. The contrast in this image is really strong and changing, the fact that it's black and white and taken by a film camera really helps to emphasise the change in tonality.
This image shows a man in war, he looks like he is suffering from shell shock due to the corrupt and shocking nature of war. The look on his face is of complete shock horror, the importance of location is not as strong in this image as we gather all our knowledge from him due to what he's wearing and the way he looks giving us understanding to where he actually is.
