The document discusses the conceptualization and technical aspects of a photographic image. It was intended to make the audience feel compassion for the subject by having her look defeated with her head down at bruises on her shoulders, calling to mind the mistreatment of animals. The medium close-up shot and three-quarter angle were used to facilitate audience empathy and understanding of the message about the fur trade. While the composition and presentation were well-considered, the photographer notes potential improvements could have been making by reducing distraction from cage bars and the subject's top.
