How to analyse a photograph using...

Subject - The subject of a photograph is almost like the theme of the image,including things like the title and name of the photographer of the specific image. Where it has been taken and why has it been taken specifically there, the genre of the image e.g landscape/portrait etc). Also subject includes what themes have been used in their work and why,

Content - is what you can see in the image and why the photographer has used it, to connote something particular in the image, what is the artist trying to say or convey to the audience are they trying to give a message? For example --->

What's the photographer trying to say through this image,what's the message they want to give? Maybe that parents influence their children in negative ways? By the way the 'father' has his hand gently placed on the boy almost connotes that he's 'proud' by giving him a 'pat' on the boys head. The fact that the adults faces are not shown could show that they are ashamed of themselves and how they have 'brought' up their children but are not 'big' enough to say so?

Has the photographer purposely set up the scene and setting has he planned exactly what they want to photograph and show as a image? Or is it more photojournalism, to show everyday life and situations?

              Form - what us the formal elements that have been used in the image and why?

For example the use of texture, the surface qualities of the artwork.

The use of lines, the actual or implied lines within a composition.

                       The use of tone, describing the darkness and lightness of a photograph.

Also form asks if there is any experimentation with ISO/focus etc,if the image has been manipulated, is it framed, the size and the impact it gives of.
