Documentary Photography Assignment

Bruno Barbey; Milan, Italy; 1964; Magnum Photos


This photograph drew my attention because of the emotive nature of the people displayed in the image. It made me want to try to figure out what was going on, especially because while most people are celebrating, there is a couple in the left-middle quadrant who appear displeased. This represents documentary photography to me because it is an objective image that captures exactly what is occurring, including the array of emotions. It captures a moment in time and candidly represents the people portrayed.
