For the first image of Timothy White's photograph. He used natural light because he took the picture outside. He kind of filled the frame and created an interesting composition that doesn't take away from the main object or person he is shooting. I got this image from http://timothywhite.com/gallery. This is a photo of Christie Brinkley. Timothy made this a true work of art because the wind is blowing her dress, her hair and the grass. It gives her this look of freedom and to me i see maybe she is fighting against the wind as it holds her back. Its more of a dramatic look for me. Especially because the beach or ocean in the background is somewhat blurred the waves look rough and choppy. Timothy's art work might inspire my own by giving me different ideas for a pose of myself, or another person. Depending on who i am wanting to shoot.

In the second image, this is a photo taken by Arnold Newman. I love this photo because it caught my eye. I love bright and abstract things. He used a dramatic or flash type of lighting, because the person in his photo is dark and kind of hiding behind this bright and abstracted color wall. I think he used leading lines, because the lines on the wall are either leading into him or away from him, which brings my attention to him. I got this image from http://www.arnoldnewmanarchive.com/content/portraits-0. The photo is called Frank Stella New York NY 1967. This might influence my work because i could use bright and abstract colors in my pieces too.
