Erik Kessels, Karel de Mulder - Man

In each image from this collection of found photographs compiled by Erik Kessels and Karel de Mulder, a man is shown flanked by an equal number of women on either side. He is positioned exactly where he seems to prefer: right in the middle. Is this manly act a matter of intent, instinct, or pure coincidence? And does this photographic composition belong to the past, or will it endure as long as one man and multiple women pose to have their picture taken?
