ANALYSING

IMAGESBy Daniel Youll

MY FIRST IMAGE

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.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED

DIRECTLY AFTER IT WAS TAKEN?

The fight was either escalated or broken up.

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.

WHAT ANGLE IS IT TAKEN FROM?

The shot is from a medium angle which shows the action of the

picture.

WHAT IS THE POSTURE?

Both of them are hunched over since they are fighting, this shows

they are both putting effort into it. They’re both putting on a fighting

stance.
