The photo was published in a newspaper and appears to be a snapshot of a team of academics or activists in a courthouse. It was found by the ethnographer. Its composition is of a group photo, landscape orientation, and not professionally photographed. It has a snapshot feel, not everyone is looking at the camera, and some people are craning their necks to be seen. It seems that not much attention was paid to composition or aesthetic, which is not a critique, but a rather important clue as to the nature of the circumstances in which the photo was taken.
