Question

Colton has an old photograph that he wants to try and date and learn more about. In an effort to use specific forms of analysis to observe this photograph, what questions would likely be the most helpful for him to ask himself?

Is the image taken from a horizontal or vertical position, and why might the photographer have chosen this as they did?

Were pets included in the image and, if so, how many? What were the names of the pets?

How was the image composed? Do I like what the subjects are wearing and the color contrast between their clothing and other objects?

What is visible in the photograph? How are the subjects arranged? Are there any textual clues or signs visible?
