Untitled (Three seated men) 1960

This black and white photograph captures three men relaxing together indoors. I imagine the photographer carefully arranging the scene, maybe hoping to capture a sense of ease. I can almost feel the weight of the bodies on the sofa. The lighting is even, and I wonder if it was taken on a cloudy day, or if the photographer used a flash? The men are all dressed up, but also casually posed. There's a real sense of familiarity and comfort between them. What do you think they were talking about? Jokes? Stories? Maybe they’re just enjoying each other’s company, soaking up the feeling of being together. It reminds me of pictures my family used to take when I was a kid. This snapshot of daily life invites us to reflect on the importance of friendship, and the simple pleasures of hanging out with the people you love.
