That this photograph (Vogue style editor-at-large Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis @ElisabethTNT) was deleted is one blazing manifestation of the requirement for politically-correct art in the corporate culture. It's not TNT who is out of touch but rather it's the other Vogue editors who criticized her.
I see no evidence this photograph was staged or it would be of substantially better quality. This is every bit a snapshot and, in my view, it is a brilliant portrait of one of the most hammering problems of the age.
Note: the reason I don't believe it's a professional photograph is the foreground contains information about this person but that was sacrificed to show you more of a steel door. No pro would have done that so I don't believe the picture was staged.
It screams to me ...
Poor people are not stupid and unsophisticated
I can't tell if the person is black or white as the face is dark but the hands are light
I can't tell if the person is a man or a woman
What difference do either of those things make when you're poor
The distance between poor people and the rich is so vast as to be entirely unapproachable. As shown by rejection of the picture, the rich won't even try.
Those with privilege don't have even a small understanding of the previous observations, as witnessed by the comments about the picture, all except the last.
