This is a picture of a couple walking through the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The overexposed background isolates the area in the foreground, making it seem as though it is the only surviving land, and that the subjects are the only surviving people. This emphasizes the devastation of the earthquake. The washed out background also gives the neat effect of silhouetting the couple. The photo is also slanted, giving the impression of the couple's world being shaken after such an event. The angle of the light highlights the destruction around them, showing every piece of wreckage.
