21. Making figures anonymous

skateboarders, South Bank, London
There are two figures here, both to the side of the frame; both have their backs to us and one is blurred as he skateboards into the frame. This colourful area is continually being used by skateboarders and there are supports designed to assist in this.



entrance to the National Theatre

The entrance to the National Theatre on the South Bank, London is to the right of the frame; a couple of figures can be seen entering while another couple in red, advance towards the door across the forecourt. Their faces are largely invisible; they are not necessary to what this image is communicating.

kitchen

The photograph here is of a kitchen; an appropriately dressed chef stands to one side, emphasising the meaning of the kitchen without diverting attention away from the scene. The chef's face is visible yet smaller enough within the frame for the image not be a portrait rather a record of a certain space, that of the kitchen.

cake for eating
In this final image, the cake is the subject and fills the entire table; the presence of arms with headless people helps to emphasise what cake is for.
