Critically Considering Missions Photographs

Watching this video going into deep detail about one specific picture helped me realize how important looking into what a photo is portraying is and also how much really lies behind a simple shot of people. We’ve talked about this in class but never had time to go into this much detail over one photo. A photo legitimately does say a thousand words, probably many more than that.

                Sometimes when looking at a picture or glancing at a person we may immediately make assumptions about them that may not even be true. For example, at first sight of this photo he describes in the video I would have thought it was a family, mother and father with three daughters, and a servant in the background, but there is so much more behind that. On top of that, no matter how hard you analyze someone or something you never truly know who they are or what it is until you’ve experienced them or it.
