Brandt to Kerstens - Subject Gaze

GAZE - Says it all about the models character

*Steve Mccurry builds up a sense of trust - hope is not a strategy 

'AFGHAN GIRL'  - symbol for the arab world/freedom

• Mccurry negotiated with a school to photograph the children and immediately was drawn to the shy girl, but was afraid if he approaches her she will run away. So his strategy was - he photographed everyone in the room and after a while the girl felt excluded and therefore participated in the shoot.

Camera Positions and sense of scale = VITAL 

*Brian Griffin took pictures of people in the corporative industry and got to work 24/7 of everyday in his life and never gave up. - It's difficult being a photographer all your life but the rewards are immense.
