MR.        Libbus

Genre: portrait, modern approach

Light: coming from above, unnatural ,harsh shadows, prominent highlights

Three people in front are in focus three in back slightly out of focus

Black and white image

All people in the Vertical, pattern  unequal parts positive and negative space two people to the most right   reads like a book from left to right your eye is guided weaving from back to forth and front to back

Background blank more focus on people and planks no clothing same paint over eyes eyes all closed almost like they have a covering tied over them

The most left person in foreground one eye open

Heads down or hiding strong interaction with planks

People don’t touch each other

Gripping planks only thing they grab onto  they have to move forward = burden I think of crucifixion, they are walking to their deaths

Black and white gives it older quality, also fear in the way that light is used may be referencing slave trade

In the lower right corner of the image the black background is disturbed, almost looks like waves

Could be on ship not knowing where they are heading and that they will most likely die
