No Contact with Viewer: Looking Away

No Contact with Viewer:

This is an example of an image that does not have the ability to make contact with the viewer. First of all, we are not able to see the face of either individuals. This doesn't allow us to see any expression, emotion, or potential state of being that they are in. Viewers don't feel connected in any way, shape, or form. The woman in the front of the photograph is paying attention to the man walking away. This puts distance between the viewer and both individuals in the picture. We have no way of identifying anyone in the picture because they are not able to make a connection with the viewer.
