Mike Tyson has always been portrayed by the Media in a terrible light.
This photo shows a softer side of the former heavyweight boxing champion, and expresses the love Mike Tyson has for birds. A pigeon was the first thing Mike Tyson ever felt love for. He’s made a lot of mistakes in his life but as you can see in this photo, the relationship he has with his birds is a private and gentle side of him you wouldn’t know existed.

The audience would be anyone old enough to remember Mike Tyson’s boxing career. I suppose it would predominantly be males aged between say 18 and 50. Anyone who is either a fan of Mike Tyson, or knows about the bad things he’s done in his life and is interested in seeing him portrayed in a softer light.

This photo would have been shot in a studio using studio lighting. It seems to use a front light that focuses on the centre of the image and the way its posed really expresses the loving relationship he had with his birds.
