Analysis of an Image


This picture of Katy Perry shows her in a garden, the posture that she is standing in makes the audience feel as if she is looking down on us. This is a low angle shot of her which makes the audience feel inferior. This picture gives her the role of a teenage girl as in her hand we are able to see that she is holding a lollipop which may suggesting that she is a young, also behind there is a paddling pool that only a child would play in. The costume that she is dressed in is very bright and the colours are pink and blue which is stereotypically preferred by teenager or children.  The background and her surroundings suggest that it is a summers day for example the bright flowers, the sky looks very cloudy which also may be a reference to her innocence that a young girl has. She also looks like she is hiding something behind herself  the denotation of this could be that young children are always in situations (hiding something from their parents). The background looks as if this house is at the end of a cliff which again gives them high status. The red flowers could be a symbol of her being in love, what teenage girls do.
