Breaking up a complex topic into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of it.
Begin:
Don't write about images separately.
Compare contrast them
Explore them in relation to my own understanding

Give essay a question that it has to solve
vdfdf
Analysis starts with descriptions

What does the image WANT us to take away from our encounter with it?
What do we ACTUALLY take away?
ie what is the gap between preferred reading and our own
How might we explain that gap?

Who takes the photo?
What do we think we are being encouraged to read?

Answering these questions will reveal a series of dominant discourses?
