FIRST ANALYSIS

FACTUAL: This image is by Annie Leibovitz. She is an American Portrait Photographer, who I think, takes imaginative photographs which stand out. In many of her photos the models are looking directly at the camera, which helps us connect with the person in the picture because there is eye contact.

The CONTEXT: This photo is one of the two photographs I have seen of Anne Hathaway, but is one of the many photographs I have seen with dull backgrounds that have more exciting colours in the foreground. This is a technique she often uses.

TECHNICAL: I think that she has taken this picture in a studio with a Digital SLR Camera on a tripod to make sure that the image is clear. I think she will have used specific lighting effects to create the image she wants.

AESTHETIC: What I like most about the photo is that by using a dull background and a bright, noticeable colour in the foreground the red stands out more than if there was a very colourful background.

POINT OF INTEREST: The primary point of interest is Anne Hathway, because that is where your eye goes to when you see the picture.

SIMPLICITY: This photograph is simple because there is nothing cluttering up the background, and by having this plain background it puts emphasis on Anne.

CONTRAST: Anne Hathaway's light skin with the red sheet against the dull background creates contrast. This contrast draws our eye into the photograph and more specifically 
Anne.

FRAMING: There is no framing in this picture,Annie Leibovitz doesn't use much framing in her photographs. Personally I like it when it is used because it outlines the main subject and leads the eye in and interest me more as a viewer.

VIEWPOINT: By the looks of this picture I think the camera was either on a tripod or a monopod to make sure the image was not blurry. I think the camera was positioned in line with Anne's eyes to show off the fact that she is looking straight into the camera lens.

DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT: This photograph has no direction of movement, because she is sitting down she is not about to go anywhere, when you look at this photo you don't she her moving. There is a space either side of her but the point of the story is not for her to move, it is for her to sit and stare as if she has troubles and is upset.
