ALT A black and white photo of a woman in a white uniform and cap at a workbench. She is dipping sweets into a squat metal pot with one hand while her other hand reaches for an almond to lay on top. There is a batch of assembled sweets on the bench, and two metal boxes containing undipped sweets and almonds. A patch of light behind her head creates a halo effect. She is flanked on either side by trays of completed sweets on tall racks.
ALT A high contrast black-and-white portrait photograph of a young man. His eyes are focused on a point off camera, just past the photographer. Light reflects off his hair, pushed back off his forehead, and the background is a deep black. The effect is closer to a portrait of a film star than a factory worker.
ALT A black and white photograph of a pair of hands gripping a metal tool to adjust the teeth of a saw. The background is a deep black and the light highlights the shape of the saw teeth along the bottom of the frame.
ALT A black and white photograph of a man standing on a steel beam as it’s lowered from a tall crane. He is almost silhouetted against the sky, and stands casually with one hand in his pocket and the other holding the chain, looking up and out of the photo.
