As a young woma

The photograph shows her as a young woman.


Question: Is as a young woman an adjective phrase modifying her?

  

Top answer

No, I wouldn't say so. The interpretation "The photograph shows [her as a young woman]" doesn't to me seem the natural one. I would say that "as a young woman" is adverbial, describing the manner in which she is shown.
