Task 2
Gun Nation -
These images are about America and how they are allowed guns to for their own self defensive. Everyone in America has guns, even if your little. For every 10 people 9 off them have a gun. The law doesnt allow guns. The effect off the images that people will think that its a violent country and everyone will get the wrong impression. But having a gun does call trouble. The photographer has taken them landscape and in black and white. I think when he takes them like that it makes the matter look more serious. All the images have the same message and style, they dont vary as they give people the same message. The images are very sucessful in telling the story, as it makes America look bad for having gun violence. The message is very strong. The images communicate the photographers opinion very well, as he is showing what happens also if you have a gun. If you have a gun in america you are protecting yourself you can also be causing some trouble. The images are placed in a sequence, they are just set out normally with a quote next to it. The quote is what a person has said. I dont think the images are for anything, i just think he wanted to put a message across to people. He also takes shots in a studio and at a hospital to show the effects off what guns can cause.
Luxury -
The images are about the life off a first class citizen, Martin parr was very certain about the pictures he took to capture what he wanted to show. The images reflect his opinion and what he thinks. The images are shot with flash, lots off contrast and high exposure, taken landscape. They images are reflecting what first class people look like at times, and what there life is like or what it is made to look like. All the images are similar and on the same topic, they are all the same style.
There is text that accompanies the image is from http://todayspictures.slate.com/20090629/
The text is -
'Traditionally, the portrayal of poverty has been the domain of the “concerned” photographer, but Martin Parr has photographed wealth in the same spirit, believing that when people of the emerging upper-middle classes around the world demand and receive the luxury goods that are taken for granted in the West, the pressure on the world’s resources will be considerable. In light of the recent global economic meltdown, his work can be viewed in a different light. An exhibition of this work can be seen at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, Va., through July 18.'
The images are sucessful in telling the story because it shows martin parrs opinion and what he thinks about them. As he doesnt like first class citizens as he has photographed them bad. The images communicate the photographers opinion. The images arent sequenced in a certain way, they are just taken and collect as one. The images are not for anything certain, he just wanted to show his opinion.

Task 4
Martin Parrs work relfects his opinion and he uses flash and shoots in bright colours and makes them bright if editing them. Luxury are showing a different side too first class, he is showing them at there worst and that they are normal like everyones else.
He likes to create fiction out off reality - quoted http://www.photoeye.com/bookstore/citation.cfm?Catalog=dq301
His photos are different to other photographers.
Zed nelson photos are showing the good and bad sides off guns, as he shows the effects off them but although how they are protecting you and your family. He wants everyone to know what happens or what could happen. Not many people are allowed to have guns, its not the law. But most people have guns. Even young children. He also gives a bad opinion on it, by showing photos off what happens with people get shot. Having a gun symbolises freedom in America.
