Presentation Transcript

Slide1

Analyzing Photographs

“Representing the past, photographs serve the present’s need to understand itself and measure its future. Their history lies finally in the political visions they may help us realize” (Trachtenberg 489).Slide2

Conceptual versus Narrative Representations

Conceptual representations depict situations, scenes, and states of being.

Narrative representations show actions.Slide3

Page Design and Layout

Arrangement of elements on a page (ratios, color, size, style).Slide4

Distance

Frontal angle (as in Migrant Mother) or oblique angle (as in the “Black Power Salute at 1968 Olympics”)

High angle (camera looks down on people) versus low angle (camera looks up)Slide6

The Gaze
