This photograph was taken during the Vietnam war by Phillip Jones. His goal was to ” take photographs in a digestible way”. The photograph has both a foreground, mid ground a background, almost if the photograph could be split into three different scenes. The viewers eye is immediately drawn to the solider and the woman in the foreground as the point of interest. I think this part of the photograph shows compassion between two people who have completely different ‘roles’ within the war. In the midground we can see two people running away although we can’t tell what they’re running from. In the background what looks like an explosion. I think this makes the photograph more interesting and adds more depth and detail to it. I think that the fact that the photograph is in black and white makes it more ‘raw’ as we often associate black and white photographs to more serious documentary telling. Overall I think that this photograph is powerful as could spark intrigue and concern about what is going on.
