Please review the steps below on how to analyze a photo/ image
1. Examine the image’s context for clues about its meaning. The context of an image typically refers to the physical place or publication in which you came across the specific image. Try asking yourself: who can see this image, and where will they see it? Think about other images that appear near the primary image (whether it's in an art gallery or a magazine) and the ways they add meaning to the image's context.
2. Look for visual keys in an image to figure out its intended audience. Nearly all images have an audience: a group of people that the image’s creator intended for the image to be seen by. Ask questions about the image that can help you figure out the audience. For example, what kinds of people appear in the image: men, women, children? Or, if there are no people, look at the image’s subject matter to assess the audience.
3. Take note of the image’s emotional effect to understand its purpose. The way an image makes you feel can give you clues about its purpose. Advertisements are an easy example, since their purpose is pretty straightforward. The purpose of an image on an advertisement is to engage your interest and create a desire for the product. Each kind of image has its own purpose, and some images have many purposes
