Adriana Zehbrauskas
Adriana is a Brazilian photography who is based in Brazil. Her work mainly focuses on issues related to religion, the aftermath of the drug wars in Mexico, migration as well as the daily life of unfortunate communities. However, she has galleries of a variety of different things such as the beach life in Mexico. Adriana is one of the three photographers who have been featured in the documentary "Beyond Assignment" therefore this means her work is too an extremely high standard and really focuses on her images. From her photos, you can tell she uses a lot of symmetry and uses the a square grid to place certain objects in certain places in line. She captures various bright shots to others being dull and emphasising how harsh and bad living conditions are for some less fortunate. She really focuses on colour and her style is enhancing the colours in her shoots to make them stand out and give a vibrant feel to each individual photograph. In each shot there is really one main focus whether it be small or big and her style is using one main colour focus as well, to emphasis the main focus of the image. She mainly focuses on people and their lives depending on what they are doing and where they live but she focuses on peoples daily lives.

Examples of her work
Thatcher Hullerman Cook
He is also a documentary photographer who is based in New Hampshire and South Carolina. He usually photographs primarily refugees and other people affected by war, natural disasters, economic upheaval. The style of Cook's photos are mainly emotional because they all have sad stories behind them or portray a sad feeling. Thatcher works with the individuals before capturing the photographs to get to know the stories behind the person and situation occurring. By travelling to specific areas, you get a different emotion from each photo because of their surroundings. He looks at lighting extremely carefully and makes sure his lighting reflects an emotion in the images. Some images are bright to emphasis the colours in the background or to single out a specific main object in the image. He doesn't set up a specific frame and shoot, he holds the camera and lets the image walk in front of the camera. His images are shot in colours to emphasis the surroundings and the life of the people he is shooting. By using colour he can emphasis the skin colours of the people in the photos, most are black african people in poor conditions and by using colour this makes the photos more emotional. Also, by using colour he can change the brightness and saturation to alter the colours to enhance them or make them more dull. His photos give off a powerful and shocking feeling to them, this is due to the positioning of the objects in the images, the lighting and colour. All these things can drastically change an image.

Examples of his work
Mary Ellen Mark
She is a american documentary photography born in 1940 and died in 2015. Her style of work was by photographing people who were not in the mainstream society and towards the more troubles, interesting scenes. Her work was extremely popular as it was exhibited in various galleries and museums worldwide and 18 collections of her work was published. All of her photos are put into black and white to emphasis the time these photos were taken in and the history through her photos. The style her photos are taken in is by showing not the norm, the different side of society in that time, the damaged, unstable side and that is really portrayed by her images because of the people in the images. The focus in the images really show how the peoples emotions and what life was like in that time. From her photos, we can see that the style she is trying to get across is how the other side of humanity lived in that life and the authenticity to people lives. In all her photos, she is focused on people, there may be more than one but she is always focused on people doing something unusual or interesting. The people she photographs are so natural and are only doing what they would normally do, in their everyday lives, it has not put set up or posed its real life and that is what Mary tries to portray in her images.
