This Image is a black & white portrait, but there are elements of art photography present in the dramatic lighting and camera being used to imitate eyes. There is a circular light being used to illuminate face, and the areas of the body not directly lit are in solid shadow. The entire image is shot in black and white, probably because it was taken in 1951, and color photography wouldn't be available in any high quality context for at least another decade. This image uses contrast to frame its subject. The shadows blanketing the subject aren't present in the background, creating a frame-within-a-frame effect. The subject is framed by the light background, and their face is framed by the shadows on their body. The image is taken at a relatively shallow depth of field, focusing primarily on the camera held in their hands. The subject is placed directly in the middle of the frame, and takes up the majority of the image. The lit potion of the face is the at central point of the image, and is the clear point of focus. The camera being held is creating a visual pun, where the shutter and viewfinder are positioned so as to imitate the placement of eyes. Through the framing, lighting, and use of visual puns, this image communicates two things. One, the subject is a photographer. This is communicated clearly through the camera they are holding. Secondly, the focus on the face and the way the camera imitates part of their face shows us how photography is part of this person's identity. their eyes have been replaced by camera components, communicating that they "see the world through the lens of a camera."
