1) Andrew Waits is a freelance photographer based out of Seattle, Washington. These particular photos are out of his project called "Boondock". He features people living in the rural areas in multiple surroundings. Most of his photos are taken with a deep depth of field that features the people, their background, and the natural landscape in the background. The focal points in these are all the people but you get a sense that Andrew wants to also be sure to capture the background.
2) Andrew is focusing on capturing people in their natural habitat in these photos as well as capturing people who live a sort of rustic, on the move lifestyle. He includes vehicles in most of his photos and also the people look as if they are in their normal everyday clothing, not particularly staged. It also looks like the people are comfortable with their lifestyle as they are either smiling or showing that they are proud of their surroundings.
3) I think these photos were very interesting to me because they were photographs of people who you normally would not see photographed. He truly captured these people's natural surroundings and even the places they call home. I think this is also a very interesting collection because he captured so many people in their own surroundings yet you get the same feel from most of them. I was drawn to these photographs mainly because of the way the people were photographed.
