My initial response towards the work Andrew Quilty is that they personally maker me question the purpose of these images and what his message is attempting to portray across to the viewer. i feel that his images could possibly be miss lead due to the ambiguity of each picture as they do not identify an source of location where the viewer can make the assumption of where Andrew Quilty shot his images, however because of the fact that the photographer does not included this factor it could possibly indicate a meaning in itself to represent that the location where he shot his images was in a very remote area that would empathise how unknown the area and people are.
In terms of colour the photographer has chosen to shoot his images in 'black and white' this caught my attention immediately as this affects the mood of an image as well as the meaning.The effect of 'black and white' has lead me to believe that it could represent an aspect of 'past' meaning that despite in this day and age a majority of countries live in a 'modern world' Andrew Quilty's work counters my statement that expresses the fact that not all countries whether they consist of a small or a large population of people, there will always be parts of the world that still live same consistent way for decades whilst the rest of world has evolved and progressed on further with things such technology. For example in these images there is no sign of modern technology that would indicate these people Andrew Quilty shot lived in a very basic living life style that was purely based around surviving.
