I took the following picture while I was watching TV with my wife. I looked over at her and wanted to capture the moment. Below I will evaluate this using the studium and punctum.
Studium: With the studium, we see a beautiful girl looking off to the right at something unknown. Also, she is sitting comfortably on the couch probably watching TV or relaxing having a conversation with someone unseen. She looks happy and peaceful.
Punctum: The immediate punctum to me is her smirk, symbolizing something funny or happy and unseen to the viewer. Others are the bright light source above her head, the slightly off-balance picture frame in front of her, and the pile of blankets disappearing off the side.
