Analysing a Photograph
This photograph was taken by Steve McCurry
This photograph is known as the 'Afghan Girl' but popularly referred to as "the Afghan Mona Lisa"
The photograph was shot in December 1984 when she was living as refugee in Pakistan.
The girls cloths stand out a lot against the background because the two colours are opposite on the colour wheel. It I think that because the eyes are the brightest part of the image it draws your eyes to hers.
