3. Does the image successfully communicate the photographers aims and intentions?

Analysing the image.

2. What is included in the photograph?
3. What message does it convey?
4. What techniques do you think have been used to make the image?
5. Has the image been staged?
6. Has the image been manipulated in any way?
