Analysing images
• Why bother?
• There are lots of things to consider when looking at and analysing images, such as:– framing and composition– depth of field– lighting – natural or artificial?– communication and meaning– Contextual info (socio-political and historical)– use of the formal elements – line, texture……
Analyse an Image• Describe:
– Literally describe what you see in the image – what is it a picture of?• Analyse:
– a breakdown of the image into bite size elements to help to uncover the methods used by the photographer to create meaning.
• Lighting• composition and framing• use of colour (or not)• subject matter Use the grid to help break these down• the formal elements• camera settings• communication
• Evaluation:– What do you think about the overall image – is it effective? discuss your
points made in the analysis to support your opinion. what does it communicate to YOU? how has it influenced you?
