I believe that this photo by Hector Mediavilla is expressing that no matter rich or poor, you can still be classy and well put together. The living arrangements in this photo are dirty and incredibly poor. The photographer chose for the focal point of the photo to be a man that you can see is dressed very formal. The contrast between the presented wealths in the photo make you wonder, Is that where the man lives? Is he visiting someone? What is he so dressed up for? This photo makes you think while also showing how despite how someone may act put together, they could have a situation or a struggle that is hard or broken down.
Apart from the figurative composition, the physical composition is well put together. The style of the man in comparison to the style of the living situation could be considered emphasis. I also think that the colors are all darker shades and some neutrals that work well together thus creating a sense of unity. This is also asymmetry because there is more going on in one side of the photo than their is on the other. Overall I love this composition and the ideas that it presents.
