In the photo furthest to the left, dramatic studio lighting was used. I know this because she is very well lit and the background behind her shows nothing. The center photo used available outside light. This is obvious because the light looks natural. It looks as though he is outdoors lit by the sun. The left one was dramatic artificial studio lighting. This is apparent because it does not look like natural light. She is lit perfectly with no distracting background.

The compositional technique used in both the photo furthest to the left and the center one is focal point. Both the subjects are the main focal point in both those photos. The compositional technique used in the photo furthest to the right is leading lines. Her hair leads the viewers eyes straight to her delicate face.Explain what type of compositional technique (leading lines, rule of thirds, framing, fill the frame, level horizon, focal point and point of view) the artist used to create their portraits.

The photographer who captured the photo furthest to the left is known by the name of Eve Arnold. She chose to name this piece something very simple: Marilyn Monroe.The center photo was shot by Robert Bergman. The name of this photo is unknown. The photo furthest to the right is known by the name of Twiggy and was shot by Richard Avedon.
