1] what specifically is the purpose of heisler's photographs? is it simply vanity-driven or does it perform a deeper function?
-I think it performs a deeper function because even though the portrait is set up it still provides an explanation as to what the person is like.
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"?
-no they are not that different because gordon parks posed that woman in american gothic just like heisler poses his photos.
3] pick the portrait of the actor hugh grant from the prophoto.com website and critique it for content, purpose, and effectiveness.
-In the picture you see a man, a restaurant, coffee, silverware, etc. The purpose of this photo isn't really clear to me to be honest. I don't know what the effectiveness of this photo is but I'm sure it would make sense with that magazine story with it.
