Frank began his career in the mid-1940s before emigrating to America in 1947. Frank is not just a photographer but also a filmmaker (independent, unconventional and personal in both media).

Adam Murray - Public Transport Locations
I do like the work of this photograph and I think the main reason of why I do is purely because of the black and white effect as I think it gives of an 'abandoned' feel with all the emptiness.
The words that I would associate with this picture would be 'gloomy' this is because of how it's lit.
I think they photographed in this location because they was on there way to somewhere but decided to capture some photos on the way which he found interesting.

Simon Roberts - The seaside
I do like the work of this photograph and the reason on why I do is because of how it's been shot. It seems as if Robert as used a composition of ''leading lines'' which are lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or sometimes, out of the image and that's what Robert has done. Also, another reason would be with how white the colour tone is and by it being like this, I personally think it gives off a 'foggy', 'mysterious' effect with how cloudy it is just slightly above the water.
I think they photographed in this specific location because Robert had photographed other piers all around Britain.
The words that I would associate with this picture is 'cold' and 'deserted'. This is because this image has that white-tone to it which gives it that feeling that's it's 'cold' and for 'deserted', no one is around.

Nigel Shafran - Offices
I don't like this photograph and the reason on why I don't is purely because I don't it interesting in the slightness as it just comes across boring and dull.
I think they photographed in this specific location because Shafran wanted to capture his Dad's office in it's exact 'ways' without moving or changing anything around which makes it 'real' and not positioned in a certain way which you would think an 'office' would be like.
The words that I would associate with this picture is 'messy' and 'undercoated'. This is because this picture shows how untidy everything is and for the 'undercoated' then it's just 'dull' and 'boring' with the plain, simple walls.
Richard Billingham - The Home
I do like this photograph and the reason on why I do it comes across quite 'amusing' with the cat flying across the living room.
I think they photographed in this specific location because Billingham wanted to capture what is what like with living with his Dad.
The words that I would associate with this picture is 'amusing' and 'realistic'. I associate 'realistic' with this image because that's how Billingham's Dad actually behaved and that's the reason on why Billingham decided to capture what it was like with his Dad.

The words that I would associate with this picture is 'tranquil' as it gives off a peaceful, calm serene.
