Hi there,
Thank you for your assignment. This is one of the few assignments where there is nothing for me to suggest photography wise. To be honest I am not familiar with the work of this photographer. 😳
Although I had seen his work before. For example he shot this album cover:

I think almost everyone has seen that album cover. This assignment is really designed to get you thinking more than it is to get a critique. You’ve gone and found someone who inspires you and hopefully it has helped.
Here is more on Jay Maisel:

Thank you so much for teaching me about him!
