I picked this photograph because I enjoyed the story behind it, or what I thought the story might be. I interpreted it to be a working woman and her assistant giving her the tools todo this ladies hair. This ladies make shift salon, possibly outside her house. From the additional information provided this photo of the previously thought woman is actually a gay man dose the change my thoughts too much but definitely adds to this story, it makes the photo more diverse. This photograph really lets you analyze and interpret what you the viewer wants to see, without reading or looking into context, specially first glance which is why I initially choose this photo.
This photo has a lot going on, this photo even in black and white you can gather lots of tons and shades, the contrast allows you to see different ethnicities in this as well. Even the texture of the walls, the cracks and which maybe filled in shows the contrast between the concrete. The background and environment suggest this is a lower class society, the window is gated possibly to prevent break ins (theft). The ladies clothes also suggest this is warmer weather probably summer time, which is maybe why they are doing hair outside. The woman sitting in the chair deflecting the “stylist” hand possibly suggests she doesn’t want her to touch it or maybe that it hurts by also looking at her facial expression. The point of view is more towards ground level because there eyesight is looking down on the photographer. The focal point of this photograph would be in the center, my eye goes more so in a circular motion rather than left to right or up to down. This is probably due to the placement of the people, they almost go in a wave shape which caused my eye to circle. This image as much meaning and detail which makes this photo so eye catching and more insightful than just a woman getting her hair done.
