Documentary Research, Richard Drew - Task 1

Richard Drew - 9/11
These powerful images were all taken by Richard Drew at the 9/11 twin tower terrorist attack, as he was documenting the event. All of the images have the same theme which is showing how shocking and horrific this event was. These images are dealing with how bad the damage was from this event and how scary and dangerous it was for people involved in it. The images also show how horrific a real event was. These images were taken 11th September 2001. This images are displayed online on an image website in a gallery format.

This is the most iconic image that was capture at the event. This shows a man taking his own life by jumping from near the top of the north tower. He was obviously terrified and knew that he wasn't going to survive so he chose to take his own life as he didn't want to burn to death. This image was taken landscape and in colour. As it is taken landscape it shows that it was a tall place he was falling from. The lines behind him also look really effective and shows how tall the building really was. This shows that real people were involved in this event and should make people think about how awful it would have been to have been part of the attack.

This image was taken a distance away from the event. It shows how bad the effect of the collapsing towers really was. Even though it wasn't close to the sight debris from the collapsed building was all over the place. It shows how much of an impact this event had on such a big place.

This shows the north tower collapsing after being hit by a plane hijacked by terrorists. This shows how shocking the event was for people to see and how much damage was caused to the twin towers.
