I need some help on alaysing these photographs.
They are by Max Dupain and i was wondering what you thought on them
for example composition, theme, devices like tone texture and just your opinion on what you think this photo is about?

He’s caught a female from the rear and a man from the front.
The shadow proflie is the curve of a woman’s behind,( the other bits are there too I s’pose, lol) and the erect vertical cylindrical building is the man’s you guessed it.
Bloody fantastic.

The third photo he was trying to set up the classic gent master of his domain stance up against the elegance of the female when a perfectly human response made it a comedy classic.
