It is immediately noticeable that the main thing that all these photographs have in common, aside from the fact that they've been taken in black and white, is that all the people within the portraits are looking at the camera. Various emotions have been portrayed throughout the six images that I have chosen, such as anger, and some of them even include photographs of just a blank expression. Props have also been used to the effect of these photographs, for example, the knife held by Mapplethorpe himself, or the hat, worn by Donald Sutherland in the last image. Also, each of these photographs include much of the background, which is part of Mapplethorpe's style.
