What is the subject or topic of the essay?
This photo story is about photography in fashion.  It reveals weird and funky fashions, poses, and models of the like. It also discusses the different influences for these photographers as their shots are published.

How did you respond to the essay? What impact did it have on you?
To be completely honest, it was a bit strange. I'm all for fashion, but some of these outfits are pretty strange. But, overall, I thought it was very interesting. 

What makes the photos effective? How do they tell their story?
These photos are effective because they emphasize fashion in a different, yet effective way.  The strange poses, fashions, models and other odd elements of the photo shoot show the other side of fashion that not many other people see.

How much copy accompanies each photo? What makes the copy effective?
There is not much copy for the photos except for the name of designer or photographer that was involved with making the photo. Every other one tells all that was involved with the photo shoot.
