"Lost and Found"--- Photos By Michael Joseph

1. Which of the artists many technical choices are of interest to you and why?

The choice that Michael made to create portraits of these individuals is one thing that interests me. Portraits are one of my favorite things to make because something about focusing in on all the features of one individual is so powerful and contains so much meaning. Their facial expressions, features/details on their face, their eyes, and even the clothing their wearing can tell so many different stories and show so many different emotions. 

2. What do you believe are the artists conceptual and/or thematic intentions?

I believe that Michael's intentions for these photographs were to capture the story behind the individuals. Michael wanted to be able to share these portraits to show and tell other people about what they went through and are going through. All these individuals have the same overall story yet each is different in its own way. 

3. How do you personally respond to these choices and intents

I can personally respond to Michael's choices and intentions by saying I believe that he did a beautiful job on capturing and making these photographs. Each picture hold so much meaning and so many emotions.
