The difference with this photo and the photo below is the timing that it was taken in. The photo above is of a volcano that had just erupted. This is a rare moment in life that only few people can witness in person. Gutierrez captures this moment through his lens so vividly. The photo captured is very “in the moment” and was probably taken as, quickly as possible with many shots because this is something that you can not miss and have another opportunity to photograph. The photo below, took much longer for the photographer to capture the right shot, and it was probably still editing through a computer before printing. The preparation of these photographs is different as well. Since the first photo is of nature, the photographer is unable to make lighting adjustments, or reposition the focal point. The magazine photo shoots, everything can be adjusted to preference of photographer.

The similarities of the photo of Lady Gaga and the photo of the women trying to stop forced eviction for her people, is the message that these photographs send out. The purpose of Lady Gaga’s meat dress is to send out a message that she wants to stand for her own rights by wearing whatever she wants. In The second picture, the women is trying to stand up for herself and her child, but trying to stop the forceful army of men. They are both captivating and makes you think about the photo in more depth.
