Reason for choosing each image:
I would have to say what initially attracted me to the images created by these artists, is there  stylistic abilities as photographers; often times portraying certain scenes with very cinematic qualities.


Write what similarities you find in the two images, and what differences you can see:
Like stated above, I think they both encapsulate this very cinematic feeling, even though conceptually they differ quite a bit.In Prager's body of images, the photographs have such bold and dramatic colors, that are much different than Spano's pictures, obviously because his are all shot in black and white.Yet, despite these two big differences, both images still incorporate these drastic angles and very dramatic subject matter, as well as lighting. I think despite some big conceptual and aesthetic differences ( color compared to black and white), they both still achieve a very similar feel, even though though they are nearly 7o years apart in terms of when they were shot.
