Contextual : The photo was taken around 20 years after the end of the Second World War. The photo was taken in an old factory that made all things from railroad cars to trains and in the Second World War his family made ammunition for the Nazis. The photo was taken in 1963 by Jewish photographer Arnold Newman.

Conceptual : The image was taken as a form of payback for the Jewish community on the Krupp family after supplying the Nazi’s with ammunition for the entirety of the Second World War. Newman made Krupp look evil and have shadows around him with light in the background. He makes Krupp look sinister and mysterious but also not in power as the photo was taken looking down on his subject. This references the Krupp family power when the Nazi’s relied on them during WW2 and how after the war ended their power had gone.

Technical: The lighting in the photo is harsh and has a very large depth in the photo. The photo transitions from a very dark and sinister tone to a free and light one. The photo is deep and is taken to make the sinister figure in the centre of the image look below the viewer as if he is not in power.

Visual: The color pallet of the photo are dark and mysterious with a lot of dark colors and then quite white and bright colors swell. The darker and more mysterious colors are in the foreground of the photo near the man and the brighter and more normal colors are in the background of the image. The photo is clearly three dimensional and the different layers of the photo can be seen clearly. The image has some symmetry and very straight lines.
