Image 1: This is a picture of Cindy Sherman, a photographer that specialized in self portraits. This picture was taken using natural light from the sun in the city. This picture showed a good example of leading lines from the buildings behind her. This piece could influence my pictures to have a better focus with a background as beautiful as the focal point of the picture. http://www.blueskyclassroom.net/course_content_files/imported_%20content_files/common%20to%20all%20files/useful_web_sites/Camera%20Techniques%20and%20ideas/Self%20Portraiture/famous%20photographers%20-%20self%20portrait.htm

Image 2: This is a picture of Marilyn Monroe, a very famous model known for her exceptional beauty. This portrait was taken by Eve Arnold, a very talented photographer. She was known for her beautiful shots of Marilyn Monroe, and other portrait pictures. I'm not positive what lighting this picture used, but from what I can tell she used artificial lighting in a dark room. This portrait influences me to capture the simplicity of plain beauty without anything to take your eye off it in the background. http://www.blueskyclassroom.net/course_content_files/imported_%20content_files/common%20to%20all%20files/useful_web_sites/Camera%20Techniques%20and%20ideas/Self%20Portraiture/famous%20photographers%20-%20self%20portrait.htm

Image 3: This is a self portrait of Ilse Bing taken by herself in mirrors. This either uses artificial light from the lights in the room or she is using natural light from the sun through the window. but from the black and white I can't tell for sure what she is using. I really like how she got her whole face in the picture, but she did it in a very unique way by doing half and half through mirrors. I would like to know the concept behind this. http://www.vintag.es/2012/03/interesting-photos-of-famous.html
