A Deeper Meaning

1] what specifically is the purpose of heisler's photographs? is it simply vanity-driven or does it perform a deeper function?
-I believe his photographs show a deeper function, by trying to show who the person is or what their occupation is.

2] as many of heisler's photos are made for specific stories or magazine covers they have a specific look, but are they fundementally different from gordon parks' "american gothic"?
-I think that both heisler's and gordon park's are similar in that they both show a deeper meaning. For example you may not just be able to look at the photograph and see the point, but you may have to look for the real truth behind it.

3] pick the portrait of the actor hugh grant from the prophoto.com website and critique it for content, purpose, and effectiveness.
-I like this photograph of hugh grant because i think it is a good example of heisler using a deeper meaning. It is very insightful into the actors life, because it may not just be about his acing life but his real life.
