Unit 8 Activity 5

Activity 5
Find one portrait image that has included significant or informative detail. Describe the importance of the additional information and how it is likely to be read by the viewer.





This portrait here includes informative detail because of the subject and what's in the background. It's obvious that the photographer meant to have detail in it because it basically tells a story. It tells a story because the girl in the photo has a suitcase and is at an old train station. This information in the photo is important because people looking at the photo can guess what the purpose of the photo is. People might think the picture is of a girl actually waiting to catch a train or even of a girl portraying life in the past when taking a train was the main way to travel. Either way, this picture has information that sets up the scene as to what the picture is all about.
