Denotation:

The image also breaks the stereotypes of women because of the way she is dressed, which is quite masculine this again connotes power.
Mise En Sence
Lighting:
The lighting used is quite high key as you can see every feature of her.
Costume:
In the picture, she is wearing a smart shirt buttoned up to the top and a tie. This is subverts the generic conventions of women as a stereotypical woman would be in dresses. Also because the shirt is clean this would support the stereotypes of women being clean and connotes successfulness, because if she was in a dress, you would think she was going to a party.
Props:
There are no props shown in the main image but there are two smaller images on the double page spread. In the one on top right, there is a perfume bottle which shows she is advertising a perfume. The other image on the second page at the bottom left shows she has jewellery in her mouth.
Setting:
The background is a plain white background to keep the audience focused on her. It also goes with her outfit.
Non-verbal communication:
In this image, the nvc shows that she is holding her tie with her mouth slightly open and is looking down at the audience at an angle which connotes power and domination. The way she holds her tie connotes she is still trying to be seductive but confident.
