My Comments:
This photo is from Perou's collection 'admit i exist' it's based on homeless people in Liverpool and how they've been living for the past 10 months. The people he's focused on are youths that have been kicked out of their house, or left on their own accord because its been too unbearable to still live there. 16 years old was the youngest person Perou looked at which is really quite moving reading about it.
This photo uses composition very well in my opinion. You catch yourself looking at the photo more than once, the bit that draws you in is the scene, the place itself. Then you see the nearly transparent woman, and you stare at her for a while. After that i noticed that it said 'HOBO' on the bin and the conditions this woman was living in. Step 6,5,9 and 1 have already been used in this photo.
