Describe a Photograph (STEP 2): What do you see? Oftentimes, you will be asked to describe pictures during exams or in class. How can you go about it?

WHAT: A black and white picture? A portrait? WHO: Does the picture shows a man and a woman? Who took the photo? WHEN: Does the scene take place in the middle of the day? At night? Any speci!c date? WHERE: At work? At the beach? WHY: To post on their social media accounts? HOW: How was the photograph taken? Talk about perspective and angles. Is it a close-up or panoramic picture? Sample Description

l This picture shows six children who are in a canoe in a village in Africa. The photograph was taken during the day by someone who is also in the lake and is very close to them.

It was taken during supper in the evening night because we see dishes on a table in the foreground and a candle burning in the background. The picture must have been taken by someone who is related to these two people. Maybe it was the woman’s husband or any of her relations whom she was visiting. The wTrihteerw’sroiteprin’sioonpoinriorenaodrerre’sadreesrp’sornesseponse In my opinion, the location might be a village in Africa because of how the room is furnished with basic necessities: a beer bottle in the background to hold the candle, a co\"ee table in the foreground to serve as a dinner table, a goatskin- covered stool that can be used to place extra plates. In the bottom left hand- corner we can also see the second chair in the room that seems to be empty. There is also a Bible in a good state and some old newspapers under the table. The owner of the house seems to spend his or her money on things that sustain one’s health and mind. The plates and food warmers are fairly expensive and the Bible is in a very good condition. To conclude the article Despite the general poor state of the house, the people in the picture seem to be contented. Perhaps, the photographer wants to show us that human beings, who are deprived of material things, can be happy if they are surrounded by the people that they love. Further Exploration:
