Kloudelka
Kloudelka seems to enjoy the use the interplay in relation to foreground and background, and the use of approximate symmetry. His photographs tend to have some important action happening in the foreground while a different layer of meaning lies in the background, perhaps less clear but just as important. Another thing he does is the use of approximate symmetry, interrupted by one shape or object, for example the photo of the landscape would be almost completely symmetrical if not for the arm jutting in.
Jacob Riis
The first thing I thought of when I saw these photos was Upton Sinclair, in that they are both exposing the ugly truths behind industrialization, and the foundation it is built on. The factories are helping industry grow, but they are built on the backs of the children who have to climb into the machines to clean them, perhaps losing an arm or their life, and I feel like that is what Jacob Riis is trying to let us know.
