Erich Lessing

This picture was taken by photographer Erich Lessing. It was taken at the Geneva Summit in 1955. It shows the Soviet Prime Minister, US President, French Prime Minister and British Prime Mister as they pose for the press. I like this photo because it is very candid of all four men. It catches all of them in what appears to be a moment of happiness and peace, but they are all showing it in unique ways. The men are clearly the main focus of the photo, but the trees in the background and the windows provide very strong vertical contrast to the horizontal row of men.
