Daido Moriyama's Demon Boy


http://www.pdnphotooftheday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/moriyama3views-953x639.jpg 


This image is by Daidō Moriyama. It depicts a young boy in Japan. Its a very straight forward image visually because the picture clearly shows you what it wants you to see, the boy. The boy has a almost demonic look to him. The boy probably looked normal in reality, but he is crossing his eyes to give himself a weird look. Moriyama took a picture of that moment and then dodged his whole body in the picture to create a halo around him. The halo makes the boy pop out of the frame. The picture also has a tilt to it. The tilt makes the boy appear more evil-looking because it makes it seem like the photographer was rushing to take the picture as if he was running away from the demon.
