What Makes This Portrait So Iconic? Conventions of Photography How They Give Meaning to an Image

In this episode I'm taking a look at the 2006 portrait of Steve Jobs that has become one of the most iconic photographs of the last 20 years. We'll be discussing why it works so well, what we can understand from what we see and a little about why we shouldn't just copy what Albert Watson did when making this superb photograph.
