At the first glance this image makes me feel intimidated due to the direct eye contact from the the man and due to the hand placement it shows power and responsibility.

The photo was taken in a dark room it is a mid-shot, there is light shining on the mans face from either side leaving the centre of his face darker, the photographer used a good technique due to the top of the image not being over exposed at the top due to the natural light coming from the roof of the image, and how the lower half of the image isn’t underexposed. The photograph is pretty symmetrical on both, from the two pillars to the alinement of the cable barrels.

In the image you are able to see the shadows forecasted of the mans forehead, train carriages on the left and right hand side, the creases on the blazer the man is wearing, cable barrels, the outline of a crane.

The photo was taken to show the power Alfred Krupp had in world war 2 as he was a person who helped take jewish people to concentration camps by building railways and train carriages, he held the power to end millions of peoples life’s due to him helping the Nazis. He built them to get economic benefit.
