In both work they tried to send a message throughout the work. Robert Logo’s work by taking this photo a group of people adrift in an ocean gives you a mysterious feeling, perhaps sad or dangerous. Also, what attracts the most attention is the use black and white in the photo, every person has different feelings viewing this work of art. i think the difference between Logo’s and Lucientes’s work is that logos focus more in expressing his feelings by his photos and Lucientes’s is more like sending a big message. Lucientes’s work is more like a sketch of a woman laying down surrounded by many people looking at her dead with the caption ” Murio la verdad “.
