Analysing an Image

Image result for hassan hajjaj bikers

This image has a deeper social significance, as the biker group photographed ‘The Kesh Angels’ is going against the rules and norms of their country. This is as in the area women are either not allowed to drive at all, or it is extremely looked down upon. So their biker group is a kind of rebellion against both the government and the culture around them. The way the image has been set up also shows this ‘uprising’; all three bikes in the image are pointed towards the camera with the riders at an aggressive stance, which represents their attitude, that they’re not afraid to rebel. The two women on either side of the image strengthen this aggressive/intimidating effect as they have open body language and eye contact towards the camera. This mirrors the stance of the bikers in the middle of the image, but adds depth to the image.
