This shot is a portrait shot of this dog the shot really helps to define that that dog has been there for a long period of time because of the long sloping river bank in which it is beside; the long roads on each side and the reflection on the water within the banks help to elongate the photograph with its deep perspective ,although the scene behind the dog is somewhat pleasant the dog seems to be out of place ,the exasperation on the dogs face and its body langue is somewhat scared and alert showing its eagerness to leave this post it has been tied too. The way in which this dog is in the centre of the photograph makes the dog unpleasant to look upon ,I believe the photographer has captured this in this way to help show what a deeply depressing place he has taken his draughtier from.
Tim walker has created a lot of photographic portraits within this series on famous faces ,he has created a narrative within this series by showing what personality's these people have and how he shows this is in a plain room with pieces of colour around the person usually one or two colours within the photograph .he has created these to let the audience know what is inside of the person how they feel and their deepest secretes.
This photograph is a detail photograph because it shows more of an emotion ,trying to use the dog as an objected to portray a feeling of depression and sadness rather than the animal itself feeling this way. clear and crisp this photograph use's depth of field to focus the eye on the animal ;the front of its body draws your eyes to the face of the animal making it look more melancholy.
These photographs are from a series called dog days by Alec Baldwin and he takes photographs for his adopted daughters for when she grows up to show her where she was born ,these photographs are very honest and bold they show what there and within a lot f these photographs he's trying to show a story of the daughters home town .Lots of his images have dogs within them as costorica has wild dogs and many pet domesticated dogs ,within the photographs you can really see the difference between the captive domestic dogs and the mistreated mongrels .
the photographer has used this shot as an establishing shot .this shot in some way 'set's the scene' as it shows how run down and old fashioned this town looks, with the mustered car agents the mustered coloured walls of a small south American looking shop. The dog aboth the shop connects this imagine to the rest of his series called dog days ;showing no singes of a human presence the dog looks onwards ,with the forest covered mounting behind the buildings framing the photo, creating a feeling of wild untamed beauty.
This shot is an action shot as the dog is climbing up on to the roof of a graffiti covered building that looks un-stable and urban; the plants that line the left side of the photograph create a colour contrast between the dog and the building, this is also helped by the blue sky aboth .the dog is defiantly either looking upon what is happening adjacent to the building or is trying to climb on the roof. I believe the photographer has done this to show that this dog is wild and romes around making its own decisions.

This photograph is a portrait narrative because it shows the two subjects closely , suggesting the animal and person both have the same feelings shown on their face as the lion and woman both are staring at the same thing and are both intensely looking out of the photograph .i think tim walker uses this bold image to shock and keep the aurdiance interested. Tim walker created this series to create an astesicly pleasing pice for a magazen so there is no deep meaning behind it but he dose show examples of each of the 4 shots used to show narrative.
Can you include images of what your are annotating so I can assess this!
