Professional Training in Public Speaking 11
A man stands in front of a blackboard, and probably a class, gesturing with his hands to presumably demonstrate a breathing exercise during a class in public speaking.
The setting is a Staley Speech Class for professionals.
The man wears a three-piece pin-striped suit and a watch chain, reflecting the seriousness with which white-collar professionals took their professional appearance in the mid-20th century.
Kosti uses a low camera angle, which elevates the subject of the image.
