He is most know for his portrait, titles ‘afghan girl’ This is of a young girl, staring intensely into the camera. It very dramatic and the colours complement eachother. The first thing I noticed were they eyes, they are so bright and wide, it’s hard to tell if she is angry or scared.

He is most known for his work with American and Italian vogue. A well known series of his is ‘living green’, which features in Vogue magazine. An image that was a part of this series is placed above. In this image it shows two woman working- one is sweeping and the other is arranging flowers. Their clothing shows that they are in the past and the fact that it’s black and white emphasises this and makes it clearer. This depicts what a woman would be doing at the time (being a housewife). The woman with the broom is by the door staring out, looking wistful. This how’s what many women were feeling at the time; they wanted to be free and do their own thing’s at their own will.
