Photo analysis

This photo of Oscar winners Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway and Christopher Waltz is framed in a way that makes the audience perceive the group as quite close-nit. They are holding their Oscars together and are caught what appears to be mid-laugh. The photograph is probably a spontaneous shot of the four unlikely associates sharing their success. The fact that it is slightly low-angle lets us see the varying heights of the celebrities and shows us how they are leaning in close to each other, particularly Daniel Day-Lewis.
The photograph does appear spontaneous, as it would be difficult to stage such a perfectly-timed shot as we see here. The smiles of all 4 people are in sync and suggest a unity or a bond between them. The photograph is also quite symmetrical, with the two similar coloured dresses mirroring each other, and the smart tuxedos of the men on the outside of the group.
