Analysis of The Hungry Sultan

This work adopts the composition of "well", and the raptor and the little girl are located at the upper left point and the lower right point of the four intersections of "well" respectively. The overall picture is relatively balanced. Although she is a prospective girl, from the point of view of girls' gaze, there is not much space in front of girls. The main purpose of this composition is to show that the girl's future is very slim, and her hope of survival is not great, and it is closely related to the theme. On the other hand, although the raptor is far away from the camera and in a secondary position in the picture, its eyes are bright, including the little girl, and its eyes occupy a vast space and a powerful posture.

The shooting time was in direct sunlight at noon, which highlighted the effect of drought and showed the environment where the incident occurred.

Formally, the strength of the eagle contrasts with the weakness of human beings; The eagle's calm erection is so arrogant, and people are so humble in despair, which is another contrast of posture; The madness of birds and the weakness of human beings are also strong contrasts in content. It is this photo that shows the overthrow of human nature in the most remarkable way. Kevin carter, a South African photographer, used only one photo to show us the despair of the whole African continent.
