Thain has created huge scale photographic works, using the same format camera equipment as NASA employed to photograph the Earth from the space shuttle. These hyper real images have an unprecedented visual intimacy that reveals something about the people presented. In his work 'Marines' this amazing level of detail afforded by the scale and quality of the image really depicts the anguish and emotions on the faces of these soldiers; i was amazed at the size of this work that made it undoubtedly stand out. Although i think that the subject matter could have been any number of personalities and still would have been successful for the camera work, i do really like this photgraphic series from Thain. In Thain's work, i appreciate the execution and presentation of the photography, while I appreciate the context and subject matter of Seawright's work, below. Both i feel, are undeniably inspiring.
