Caption and Evaluation practice

Yasser Arafat Jr. acts like a badass by holding up a flaming bottle for the camera at midday in Abjhihabad Square in Tehran. This photo, originally taken as a Facebook default photo, was mistaken by the AP as a photo of the recent riots all over Iran; shortly after the photo was taken, Arafat asked, "do I look scary enough?"



The photographer utilised the rule of thirds by placing the subject right of center. The photographer also focused only on the subject and blurred out the things behind him, creating a simple background.

The prominent rule here is depth. By placing animals in the foreground, a trail in the middle, and mountains in the background, the photographer created a very realistic sense of depth. Another noticable rule is leading lines. The dirt road helps to lead the eye through the photograph.

The photographer creates depth by overlapping the lanterns over the people. There is also a sense that the lanterns are rising into the air. The lanterns come together to make a pattern as well.
