Awkward Family Photo Anaylsis

1. This photo contains what seems to be a loving family where a husband and a wife has two daughters. The father in this photo is shirtless, has his back turned to the camera, showing off his tatted back. The tattoos on his back are the faces of the 3 women in the picture, which I am assuming is his family. The youngest daughter in the image appears to be grabbing her fathers with a closed, innocent smile.
2. What draws my attention to the photograph is the fathers back. He is shirtless and tan and is the center of the photo. That automatically draws your attention to his 3 tattoos of the women in his life with a portrait of their face and their name above or below the tattoo.
3. This photograph portrays a long story because of the tattoos. It makes me wonder why they decided to have a family photo like this and it also makes you wonder what made the father get his back tatted with his family's faces and names on it. Was there a life threatening situation where he almost lose them? or was it just out of love.
4. Being a daughter and having siblings, influences my position of this photo. I think that the father getting his back tattooed of the ones he loves is a way to show his dedication to his family and also his attachment. I would be honored if my father did this because he would ruin his body to show is love. However, it almost seems as though the older daughter in this image is embarrassed of her family because of her smile.
