This photo is an image of a telephone and childrens toys and some lists left for someone. the image has a regressive depth of field its very sharp at the front of the photo and at the back its very blurry.the objects are on a decorative antique worktop and there is a light switch on the wall. the light is coming from the left and fading towards the right of the photo. although it is not obvious at first this image shows alot about human trafficking. it shows the kind of people who are involoved women and childrenare involved closely with human trafficking this is an example of the groteseque nature of human trafficking it raises the issues of exposing children to this kind of sexual content and how wrong this whole thing is. the notes and texts are example of how the women still try and live normal lives writing notes and still trying to lead an everyday life in this awful situation.
the image compositionally is interesting because the soft focus draws you into the image. the rule of thirds is present in this photo with the desk going one third into photo and the wall taking up two thirds of the image.the attention to details are so evident in this photo and that is why i think its such a powerful image.

  1. Your compositional analysis is ok, but you don't say what evidence there is in this image that it is about sex trafficking- you need to be clearer about the points you are making- point to evidence in the photo.
    Also needs proofing!!!
    Capitalisation, sentence structure etc!
