A rhetorical analysis involves the study of how the producer of a work uses various elements to influence an audience-in the case of photography, "producer" refers to any or all of the following: the photographer, the editor, the publisher and, sometimes, the subject. The "audience" is the viewer. We use these lenses to closely examine the photograph and understand HOW the image works and determine what is its rhetorical function.
What is the context of photograph in terms of time (chronology)?
How was the work produced/presented?
What are the photograph's elements of composition, lighting, focus, and underlying structure?
What is the photograph's purpose and consequence?
How does the photograph work within a particular society?
What is the photograph's context in terms of power, politics and economics?
