This picture, by Johan Spanner for the NYTimes, which represents the problems that Iraqi widows face, is both chilling and dramatic. I love the fact that the children are everywhere in this picture and that the women stand emotionless as only one man looks like he’s paying attention to the reporter. The use of seemingly spooky light in the background only adds to the photograph.
I liked this photograph, also by Johan Spanner for the NYTimes, because of its framing. The long colorless hallway makes the viewer think about the wideow's loneliness. While the eye is drawn to her long road ahead, the eye, because of the color contrast, is also drawn to her in black. The almost hidden child makes the photograph more chilling.
This picture, by Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times, makes the food jump out of the picture. The fact that he decided to put the couscous in focus and leave the bowl out of focus means that the viewer’s eye is immediately brought to the focal point of the picture—the food. The positioning of the spoon only adds to the effect.
