Conflict

this photo can be recreated by taking a crowd of people in the hallway and singling out a couple having an intamate moment. I could use the main hall because thats where i can get the most people.

1] what specifically is the purpose of heisler's photographs? is it simply vanity-driven or does it perform a deeper function?
A:I think the photo has a much deeper meaning as well as all of Hiesler's photos, his photos shows peoples lives and there personality

2] as many of heisler's photos are made for specific stories or magazine covers they have a specific look, but are they fundementally different from gordon parks' "american gothic"?

3] pick the portrait of the actor hugh grant from the prophoto.com website and critique it for content, purpose, and effectiveness.
A:This portrait of Hugh Grant shows a sense of calm mundaneness in a restaurant. the lighting on him is nice but I don't really like the expression on his face, it makes the picture look too depressing.
