This picture was taken by Herbert List, who was a German photographer who worked for magazines like Harper's Bazaar, Life, and Vogue. He is known for his stark black and white photographs as well as photographing nude males in places such as Italy and Greece. He is a very influential photographer who has impacted other greats such as fashion photographer Herb Ritts. Many of the photographs that I looked at were composed of two subjects in the foreground. In this case there are two pairs of sunglasses but other photos of his include two people, two bicycles, two heads, or two statues. I like the use of two different pairs of sunglasses and the curiosity it presents of who they belong to. The image gives the notion that is could be a couple in love on a romantic get away with the background scenery.
