Genre
Ebru Yildiz is a live music photographer. This type of photography can also fall under the social reportage genre. This is as the photo is trying to tell a story of what's going on.
Purpose
The purpose of this image would to be to advertise. This is as it would be advertising the band as they can use in on their own websites and publications. Ebru can sell this image to newspapers/ magazines writing articles about the band. Additionally he can sell the image directly to the band for them to use.
Image Analysis
On of the techniques used in this photo is the rule of thirds. For example, on the left shows how the guitarist's' head is placed where the rule of thirds lines meet. This helps draw our attention to that spot. Additioanlly this image uses monochrome/black and white, which helps create a cold feeling to the image.
The photographer captured the guitarist in a moment which shows the emotion of his music and playing. For example his hair is flipping backwards which creates a sense of action. Additionally the image connotes to us that he is playing music in a stage environment.
The lighting in this scene is created by the stage lights. These give off sufficient light that is directed at specific spots. Therefore the photographer may have had to compensate for the lack of direct and diffused light.
Meaning
I believe that the photographer will have tried to convey to us the power of music. How music can isolate a person and let them find themselves in their own little world. This can also link to identity as they are expressing themselves through music. The image shows the passion of the guitarists and how he is moving his body expressing the music through himself.
