1. Tomer Ifrah uses what seems like a digital camera with a 24mm wide angle lens. A lot of the images are close up, and don't have any blurred backgrounds. He uses a lot of natural light that gives the images a dark, and lonely feeling. He uses shadows as well in some of the images to highlight that some of the inmates may be hiding in a sense, or are scared to reveal who they are.
2. Tomer Ifrah's Women in Prison is a series based on women that are imprisoned in Isreals only Women's prison. Many of the prisoners are from different cultural, and social backgrounds. Tomer says that the women are often in solidarity, and lost in thought, and you can see that from a lot of the pictures. The emotions that some the inmates are feeling can be seen on their face. Many of them look lonely and sad, and you can tell they have been through a lot and have seem a lot.
3. I have always been attracted to, and interested in the way others live. Not just at home but also behind bars. This series reminds me of Richard Ross's Juvenile in Justice series which is probably one of my favorite series, and it fascinates me that there are things that people go through everyday that a lot of us have no idea about. It is cool to see how people handle certain situations, and how it affects them.
