Once you've annotated an image, you can turn this information in to a paragraph. The reason we do this is that sometimes annotations help us to be more descriptive and think more visually but when Photography is shared in Art galleries, blogs and books, images are frequently accompanied by statements. It also helps you to structure your thoughts in an ordered way so that others can understand your understanding.

When you've mastered describing in the detail, the next step is 'analysing.' This is where you consider the purpose and deeper meaning behind visual choices. A step beyond that is to 'evaluate,' which is where you offer a perspective on whether a photographer has achieved their intention. The questions below can help you expand this in to an additional paragraph.

• What might the audience think or feel in response to the photo?

• What themes or meaning are present in the photo / What might the photographer's intention be?

• Is this an effective narrative series that conveys its intention? Do you like it? Why or why not? 

In Minutes to Midnight, the central subject is a solitary figure clad in a dark hooded jacket, holding an umbrella. This figure is situated on a neon-lit street, creating a stark contrast between the dark, empty surroundings and the vibrant city lights. The background features illuminated signs and reflections that enhance the photographs' futuristic and surreal mood. The artificial lighting from the neon signs casts a colorful, almost otherworldly glow on the scene. The choice of outfit and the umbrella deepens the image's sense of isolation and introspection, prompting viewers to question who the figure is, why he is there, or to imagine what it would feel like to be in his place.

The camera settings likely include a high aperture to create a sharp focus on the subject and capture all of the details in the surrounding city. Wong likely used a high shutter speed to freeze the motion of the person walking without any motion blur. Compositional tools such as leading lines from the neon reflections and a balanced central subject have been used. Wong’s choice of a slightly lower angle and a wider shot highlights the contrast between the lone figure and the vibrant, neon-lit city.

When viewing Minutes to Midnight, the audience might feel a sense of loneliness, curiosity, or even reflection. The contrast between the lone figure and the bright but empty neon-lit city can make viewers think about isolation and life in a big city. The photo seems to show themes of loneliness and how people can feel small or disconnected in a busy, impersonal environment. Wong might want to make us think about how cities affect our emotions. As part of a story series, this photo works well because it tells a strong visual story and makes us think about the figure's story and the emotions tied to city life. It works well because it captures a relatable feeling of being alone in a crowd, which many people experience in urban environments.
