The photo has been taken centre on, looking directly at the main subject (the man). There are two light sources, the natural light at the back which helps create the depth and intensity of the photo, the other light source is the artificial light behind the camera which is being used to amplify and enlighten the sides of his face while his nose and eyes are left dark, adding to the intimidating effect.

In the foreground there is a very intimidating man that appears to be in his 60s, dressed in a smart suit while looking directly into the camera. His hands are resting under his chin, adding to his striking pose. In the background, there seems to be one of the subjects industrial factories that he owned. I assume that it is a train factory as we can see multiple different tracks and trains. There are windows that line the ceiling and large pillars that surround the man.

In 1963, Newsweek magazine commissioned Jewish man, Arnold Newman to photograph industrialist Alfred Krupp, a convicted but later pardoned Nazi. Newman wanted Krupp to appear as the sinister-looking man that he was. Krupp came from a prominent 400-year-old industrial German dynasty worth around £1.33 billion.

“As a Jew, it’s my own little moment of revenge. It was my impression of a Nazi who managed to survive yet killed millions of people”
