sealion's head (and structure of body - wrinkles) - height of the image - allowing you to see penguins - rule of thirds (fore, mid, back) - portray cold, mountains in background - the use of sunlight in the image.
In this image Salgado has taken the image to show the sea lion as the center of attention as it stares into the camera. The sea lions body structure is shown with its wrinkles giving an effect that is quite lazy. The height of the image and rule of thirds is used to show the large crowd of penguins in the background. With the penguins and mountains being in the picture, and it being black and white, this portrays The weather is cold. The time of day looks to be later in the day as light is shown on the front of the penguins and a shadow behind them.
Placement of Salgado himself (where he took the image) - what is happening in the background. - old image, B&W (hint of sepia - vintage?) - rule of thirds for background and intersecting point for the gun -
In this image, Salgado places himself at the bottom of the hill which suggests he is on the side of the miners who are on strike for little pay. We get a sense of sympathy for the miners because the main focus of the image is the miner grabbing the gun off the soldier. In the background there is a crowd of people that are miners who are looking down on the situation. The image looks vintage as the color is not completely black and white. The rule of thirds is used and an intersecting point lies where the gun is.
- Compare and contrast them against Salgado's imagery (style, composition and meaning)
