Richard Ross' photographs are very inspiring to me. With this series of photographs, Juvenile in Justice, he helps convey the meaning behind these extraordinary photographs by telling the stories of those with experience in juvenile detention centers. Although neither photographs had much of a story to go with them, these two particular photographs stood out to me because of the meaning behind them. The intentions of his work are to portray the feelings of the juveniles in the detention centers. His photographs made me feel really sad for the people in the photos. They obviously had been through a lot of hardships in their lives, and their stories didn't even tell the half of what they had most likely been through. Above are two of my favorite photos taken by Ross. The first one, in my opinion, it shows that despite problems the those two had probably experienced, they were still united and had each others' backs when needed. In the second photo, I like how empty the room is, even with the bed and belongings in the middle. I also like how on the left side, you can see a shadow that looks like a person hovering in the corner.
