Untitled (A Photographer Taking a Portrait of a Man)

A photograph of the act of photographing. There are three people in this frame- the partially covered photographer who looks through the viewfinder of a large format camera, a man sitting in front of the camera to get photographed with his arms and legs cross-folded, and finally a barely visible person standing behind the photographer, possibly assisting. They are all in a mobile street-photostudio indicated by the painted backdrop. Street photographers were also expected to be good painters to be able to turn black and white photographs into colour, being a one-step-up from their competitors. What seems interesting in the photograph is the almost relaxed yet prideful posture and expression of the subject being photographed.
