Photo analysis

The low camera angle makes the subject look big, powerful, and dominant, as if the subject has a lot of authority.

Light from behind the person shows that he is the subject of the photo. Although the light is artificial it looks like the light is from the sky or heaven. This makes the person look godly. Even though the light is shining from behind the person, his body and face is still in the dark, this could represent him having a darker side, which contrasts with the idea of him being god-like.

The fact that the light is artificial relates to the theme of the picture which is football. We can tell this from the way the person is dressed.

With all the factors of the picture combined, it gives the idea that the player is some sort of savour for a football team that is in need of help. Because the picture suggests he has two sides, light and dark, this could mean he is prepared to do anything.
