I've been meaning to post these two images for some time alongside a very interesting and thoughtful article by Marco Bohr in Photoworks on 26 January 2015 which deconstructs the image of these world leaders.

I remember seeing the above image in my newspaper and it was widely used by the media. I guess like many people I thought at the time I was seeing an impressive turnout of world leaders in Paris at the head of and leading the unity march.
Not so, as the image below shows. The initial and symbolic image which winged its way around the world was created by the position of the camera in relation to the leaders.
Mark Bohr 's deconstruction is well worth reading ...check it out at :
