This photograph has contrasting dark and bright areas, uses both a foreground and background, and makes uses of symmetry in the way a face is relatively centered in the frame and two chairs line the bottom edges of the frame. There are lamp shades in the top third of the composition, adhering to a rule of aesthetics. There is a soft, single source of light creating an eerie atmosphere and leaves much interpretation for the viewer. Art is meant to be thought provoking and emotionally provoking; this photograph through multiple techniques and features accomplishes said definition of art.
