analysing portrait photos
TRANSCRIPT
WHAT IS IN THE CENTRE OF THE IMAGE?In the centre of the image, there is Kanye West attacking a member of the press who are following him.
WHAT IS ON THE PERIPHERY?
The periphery includes a car and buildings, there isn't really a lot out of the ordinary.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED DIRECTLY BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN?I think that the member of press said something that annoyed Kanye or followed him to provoke him.
HAS THE PHOTO BEEN STAGED?
No because the image features a genuine reaction, it is by paparazzi who usually take advantage of spur of the moment reactions from celebrities
IS THE ENTIRE PHOTO IN OR OUT OF FOCUS?Kanye West and the paparazzi are in focus and the rest is slightly out of focus.
HOW IS THE LIGHTING?
It looks like the flash has been used judging by the reflection on Kanye’s face and the background suggests that it is indoors, making it darker.
IS THERE ANY OBVIOUS CROPPING?There isn’t any cropping in the picture, nothing needed to be taken out.
WHAT AGE, GENDER OR ETHNICITY ARE THEY?Kanye West is 37 years old, male and black
The press member looks around the same age (not a good view), male and white
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ABOUT THEM FROM THEIR DRESS OR SITUATION?Judging by the situation, Kanye looks to have a short temper and the press member looks to be provoking a reaction for a good story.
WHERE ARE THEY LOOKING?
Kanye is looking into the distance and the press member’s eyes are being covered.
