Tips on Interpreting Photographs:
1. Look at the photograph from three distinct frameworks:
- What do you actually see? Be very concrete and specific in
your answers-ONLY what
you can actually see in the photograph- No guessing, inferences, "I think"
statements.
- What do you think is happening? Now you can speculate about what
is occuring. "I
think", "they could be...", or "perhaps they...".
- How do you feel about the action/subject of the photograph?
2. Always ask yourself about the authenticity of the photograph.
3. Use your prior knowledge about the subject to interpret the photograph, especially for Step 2.
4. Use your common sense for interpreting Step 3.
