Number Fourteen Blog


The Four boys are posing up against a wall. The attitude across each face is that they are very serious and upset at something or someone. The background in the picture seems to be a little run down or dilapidated. Possibly they were raised in a below average community on low income and struggle to get by, so they come off serious or tough similar to a ghetto.
They are all squeezed into the frame tightly but don't necessarily uncomfortable with it. A blood relationship seems very possible, because they have this brotherly look to them. The last teen on the far right has his arm around one sitting down, he also has a tiny smirk on his face. If the photographer set the scene up, I don't think it was forced or debated at all.
The hair and the clothes go along with the idea or poor or on low income. Torn up dirty clothing, one kid has long greasy hair. Dirty faces and cigarettes in pockets. Some of their clothing looks to big for them like a shirt from a sibling. Their style just seems like they don't care what people think and are carefree troublemakers.
