Photographers #8/9- Michael Somoroff and August Sander

I am really getting stuck into the Misplace theme and looking online I found this really interesting set of images. I have come across something similar in the past and really enjoyed it.
These photographers Michael Somoroff and August Sander have used photography in a strange but very effective way. They have taken images of a subject and either doing something or posing for the camera and then simply removed the background to have a plain image. I like the way they look as they really do say a lot even without much in the frame. The lack of subject makes it really interesting and almost quite eerie. The following images are the ones that really caught my eye.

Linking with my theme of Misplaced: I feel these images link as they show a history to whoever is in the images. For example the man in the images may have a story or past and the fact he is not in the images or has disappeared from the images is showing him as a misplaced character . I want to try and recreate these images and see what the outcome is like for experimental purposes:
