Men Checking Out Mannequins on the Street, New York City, NY
Ken Heyman
1973
Gelatin silver print
This photo depicts three men in suits As a street photograph, the depth of field in this photo is relatively short. Most of the figures in the background are blurred out meaning that the focus is on the three men.
This photo, I feel, aims to depict the objectification of women, where by having men pass by literal objects representing women, they “check them out” even if they aren’t actual people. It grabs their attention and seemingly amuses them.
