This photo from Alex Prager's The Big Valley series is pretty neat. He creates theatrical, dreamy/sort of surreal environments through the use of lighting, props, and camera angle. The characters he places in the scene are reminiscent of old hollywood movies. The styles of the models dress and wig as well as the model of the car which feel like bold 1960's fashion. Her intense stare alludes that there is some sort of action going on. The angle of the camera is dramatic and theatrical. This image gives just enough information to allow the viewer just jump to a number of conclusions as to what is going on. Also, the fact that it has the iconic feel of old hollywood helps to direct our conclusions about the story of this photo.
