One day, while in a place unfamiliar to me, I came across a photograph of two young women. I did not know or recognise either of them. The backdrop of the photograph was also completely unfamiliar or recognisable. The photo was not inscribed or annotated in any way. Despite all this, I knew instantly who had taken the photograph. How? Possibly embarrassingly easy. | ||

Were the women related to each other? twins? if either of the above was this evident from the photo itself? Was the photograph taken indoors ? Were the women alive when photos were taken? Are they both H? A? F? Is the photograph a particular kind e.g. Passport? Mugshot? Are their entire bodies visible in the photo? Even though the background is unfamiliar to you did it provide any clues as to who took the picture? | ||

Would this work if there was only 1 person in the photo? | ||

When you said that you know instantly who had taken the photo, do you mean the name of that person? who he? or she? was in relation to the two women (like parent, teacher, etc)? or the occupation of the photographer? | ||

As well as knowing who took the photo, did you know who the women were? Was the photo famous? the photographer? Is it relevant where you saw the photo? in a museum? gallery? private house? | ||

Had the women themselves taken it? Or one of the women? Could you see their arm bent up in such a way to show that they were holding the camera themselves? | ||

Ha, well that blew my cover. Still, my reception was warmer than I expected, so it doesn't matter in the end. |
