Why are they a good representation of this photographers work? I think they are a good representation of this photographers work because they are some of her most famous photographs. I like how some of them are in colour but some are also black in white which gives it a vintage feel. I like how you can tell they are film photos and not digital. It makes them more original and interesting. The lighting is mostly natural lighting from outside but some are also studio lights because they were on a set.
