Jill Greenberg has a collection of animal and children's pictures on Photography Now. I love that although the photos are set up the same way, with the subject in the center and a fairly plain border surrounding them, each one is unique by way of facial expressions and different colors of the subject. My favorite image is of a black bear that appears to be in some kind of room. He is clearly not in his natural habitat, and it seems that he is very saddened by this due to his slumped way of sitting in the photo. To me it provides a powerful message that animals should not be kept in captivity. I also love the 2 images she has of children crying. The color in the photos is beautiful and she is capturing such a raw emotion. She also includes many images of monkeys, which seem to be making a wide variety of facial expressions. I like this idea of showing expression with non-human subjects, and I can click through the photos and name the emotion that each monkey is portraying.
