    In Germany, you did not buy something second-hand—it is a social necessity to look successful. For me, it is not. Canada offered an interesting contrast. It had second-hand shops in the American idiom. I saw in the second-hand store windows the icons of Americanism in a picturesque jumble. I displayed the American dream on posters. I showed old cars, new cars, worn cars, people in cars, and the decay of the car—more as a phenomenon than as social criticism.

    • This is a very simple, yet effective portrait, complemented by the fitting directional lighting that suits your subject well. I hope you captured a series of varied expressions. What light shaper did you employ for your key light? Next time, do remember to include more details about your lighting setup.

  • I think a lot of the time these days people are so concerned about having the right camera and the right film and the right lenses and all the special effects that go along with it, even the computer, that they’re missing the key element. That element is developing a style that’s yours and experimenting with it until you eventually discover what makes sense to you.

    In the past month, we explored a range of iconic images, each with their own unique elements. However, what's fascinating is the common thread that runs through these portraits: each photograph uses light, form, and setting in a captivating manner to tell a compelling story. Whether it's the strong narrative elements in Ritts' "Fred with Tires," the timeless elegance in Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or the raw power captured in Sander's "Powerhouse Mechanic," each image draws us into a different world while maintaining these core artistic principles. Click on the thumbnails to view the images in a lightbox and select your favourite photo. We're keen to see which one stands out for you! Feel free to elaborate on your choice in the comments section.

    Which is your favourite iconic photograph: Ritts' "Fred with Tires," Avedon's "Dovima with Elephants," or Hine's "Powerhouse Mechanic"?

    • I remember seeing this photo almost two decades ago when I was just starting in photography. The way it arranged so much beauty in a tight, triangular formation of bodies really struck me. It had a big impact on how I view great photography.
