Describe
The image takes place in the downtown of a city. There are buildings behind a group of men. A man wearing a suit and cap stands in front of a group of other well-dressed men. All the men from left to right seem to be of different races. Two Asian men are positioned on the right, in the centre two men of colour stand, and in the far left corner, a Caucasian man stands. The two men at the centre look to their right, while the two on the right seem to stare directly into the camera.
Analyze
The camera seems to be positioned slightly lower than the men, making the subject appear taller. The buildings behind the men seem to frame them. The darker building on the right shows a stark contrast between itself and the lighter coloured clothing of the men standing before it. While the clothing of the man on the left blend in with the lighter building. As noticed, there are sharp, dark lines (the wires) behind the men. The wires align with the men. It begins with the most forward point of the photo, which is the man with the cap, and descends along with the height of the men. The men also stand in “layers”; beginning with the man in the cap in front, the man in the dark suit behind him, and the other two men behind him. This layering adds to the focus being more on the man at the very front.
Reflect
Everyone in the photo seems to simply be going along with their life, living their days as regular, everyday people. It leaves us with a sense of regularity. There is also a sense of togetherness. This is due to the fact that the men, all of different races, are walking together through the city streets. However, there is still a sensation of separation. As mentioned before, the men stand in “layers”. Thus giving the impression that although the men walk together, there is still a separation between the different races.
