Image Analysis

This is in an image of the world-wide famous singer, Rihanna. If someone did not know this, they would figure it out by looking at the microphone which codes for music and singing. The picture shows her joining her fans in the crowd during a performance. If a historian from 2400 he/she would learn a lot about the society of our time. For example, they would learn that celebrity culture is idolised by the public. This can be seen from the fans excited facial expressions and body language. This factor has been encoded into the picture by all of the fans trying to touch and get close to Rihanna, symbolising that she is an icon. The cameras and phones also connotate the public are trying to get recordings or pictures of Rihanna. The historian would also learn the contrast between a celebrity life-style and normal life-style due to the opposite appearances. The eye is firstly attracted to Rihanna when looking at the picture as her appearence is striking and bold compared to everyone else in the picture. This is because she is in the public-eye and therefore has to have a statement look. This can be seen by her ironically wearing sunglasses whilst inside.
