1.) The photos are in color and I would assume the camera used are analog. The subjects are centered but none of them are facing the camera directly. The colors in the photos are complimentary with what seems to be more than just natural lighting to enhance focus on the subjects.
2.) The article mentioned that the subjects sold themselves in order to survive. In the first photo the subject is behind bars from the railings. We could think that the subject feels as though he is a prisoner of his conditions and circumstances. In the last photo the man is standing in the middle of a super market parking lot. This plays on the idea of trading something for money as the subject sells his body for money.
3.) For me the photos showed the idea of goods and services. It showed what we are willing to sell and buy in order to get ourselves in a better situation. The man in the first photo shows me a struggle but if we look at the shadow it looks like someone who overcome something with his hands held up strong. To me the people want more for themselves but are in an internal and external battle.
