One of the most moving images of the photo series in Minamata that Smith took is the photograph entitled “Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath.” This image originally appeared in a Life magazine issue and has many notable features to it. From a visual point of view, it is very important to note the use of lighting in the photograph. The majority of the photograph is very dark except for the subjects (the mother bathing her deformed daughter). This helps to draw the eye almost exclusively to the subjects, as there is not much to notice in the form of a background. This technique also helps to give the feeling of the darkness and despair that the people of Minamata must have felt about their current affairs in response to the actions of the Chisso Corporation. The photograph encapsulates the feeling of being in a situation with no real hope for change. Another physical aspect that this photograph uses is its physical size. The photo covers the entire two-page spread of the magazine that it appears in. This makes it so that no person looking through the magazine could possibly miss the picture by glancing through it. Additionally, the large size of the photograph helps to show the smaller details that could be missed if it had been resized to a half page or even full page size. The larger size allows the viewer to really focus in on the physical characteristics of the subjects of the photograph. One can see the emotion of the mother bathing her daughter as well as the vacant stare of the daughter and the physical deformation that she has suffered as a result of the mercury poisoning. By being as large as the photograph is, the emotions of this picture can be fully appreciated by the audience (Smith).
