The brief here seems straightforward; produce at least a couple of images that show the same place but a different arrangement of people in it.
There is usually something that needs to be understood in each exercise and here I understand it centres around the different effect an image might have by different placement of people.
An almost empty area at The Tate Modern in London where photography is permitted and people are probably more relaxed about being pictured. I am taking a photograph of the staircase so people do not feel they are being targeted. The emptiness of this image allows one to assess the space but visually it is not very interesting.
This image shows the same space with this time, people more prominent. There is more to interest the viewer and the purpose of the staircase is being illustrated.
Much like the preceeding photograph yet with a central figure more arresting. However, this image might not be appropriate as it centres on a particular person from whom no model release has been obtained.
The final image, interestingly one that was made prior to all the other images (perhaps the presence of a photographer disrupted traffic on the escalator), might be considered the best. It shows the space and it's purpose as well as providing incidental information such as the couple to the left.
The different views and hence aspects of this part of the Tate Modern building have been obtained not by moving or using different lenses but simply by being aware of the different numbers and arrangement of people within the space.
