3 - Foregrounding Sharp focus Camouflaged child Optical illusion
4 - Composition Man and child unified Vertically aligned The man’s hand completes the integration
5 - Cropping Framing – what is outside the picture? Photographic trick? Cropping increases and focuses the drama
6 - Light and Dark Light and shade Features enhanced by being in shadow Darkness = menacing
7 - Colour Lack of colour = poverty No logos on clothing, no patterns Do not want to be noticed
8 - Shapes Unified pillar shape Stronger together United against the intrusion of being photographed
9 – Texture Clues in textures Punctum(Barthes) Smart environs vs casually dressed inhabitants
