Karen Baaba sam, a 30 year old Ghanaian single mother has filed a contempt application against the father of her daughter ,Nana Kwadwo Addjie, for allegedly obtaining the passport of their six year old daughter from the high court - registry.

   The applicant said the action of Adjei was in breach of an existing court  order that requires the passport to be  deposited at the court and only to be obtained by either party on notice to each other. 


1.Does the image align with the message.

This visual pairing aligns well with the headline, suggesting a direct confrontation or legal battle between these two individuals. It supports the message by giving a face to the names mentioned in the court-related accusation.


2.What emotional response does the image elicit?

The image elicits a serious, tense, and confrontational emotional response, which aligns with the nature of a legal dispute described in the headline.


3.Is the image biased or manipulated


The image itself does not appear to be digitally manipulated, but it may be biased in how it's framed or selected, especially in a sensitive legal context.


4.How does the image composition contribute to the narratives

The image composition — especially the side-by-side framing, emotional contrast, and left-to-right visual flow — supports the narrative of a legal confrontation, imbalance of moral positioning, and a clear division of roles (accuser vs. accused). It’s a common but effective visual storytelling technique that subtly shapes how viewers interpret the headlines 

5.Does the image add depth or simply reinforce the headline?

The image primarily reinforces the headline, but it also adds some subtle depth — though limited — depending on how viewers interpret it.


6.Would an alternative image change the reader's perception?


Yes — an alternative image could significantly change the reader’s perception of the story. Visual framing is a powerful storytelling tool, and depending on the photo used, it can shift sympathy, credibility, and tone — even if the headline stays the same.


7.How does the image compare to others covering the same story


The image neither breaks the mold nor deviates from other outlets—it serves as a familiar visual shorthand for “legal dispute” involving two individuals, reinforcing but not expanding the narrative.


8. Is the image culturally or politically significant.

The image may carry cultural and political significance, especially within the Ghanaian context, where this story appears to originate.
