The objects I see are the bottom half of a man, a stuffed rabbit, and the legs of

a little girl. In the photo the bunny and the girl's legs are close to the camera

and the man's legs are father away, the work is figurative. The shape of both of the

sets of legs are posed in an awkward fashion, the tone is a dark tone. The girl's

legs are in focus but the man's legs are not letting the viewer have an insight on

the girl's feelings more than the man. What I was trying to communicate to the

audience in this photo was the horrors of child prostitution. This picture was taken

indoors. I used semi dark lighting(hot light)and a black background to portray the

darkness and evilness of child prostitution. I also included a red couch to

the feeling of alarm.

Although the photo gives the perfect response of shock, I feel

that it could have served its cause better if I had used a different model for the

girl's legs. The legs look to womanly and give the photo a sexually vulgar theme

more than a theme for a cause. I also think that the photo would have served its

purpose more if I had made the lighting a little darker.
