Bequest+Portrait

Alissa Bequest Picture 1- This portrait looks like it had used studio fill lighting because of the shadows that show up on the man's face. This photographer used fill the frame to make the face and body of man touch every side of the frame. I found this picture on the nice and creative self portrait photos site, but the author's name could only be found on flickr which my computer wouldn't let me look at. I like this picture because the man's face looks to be very intense like his mind is going to some pretty crazy places. I also like how the portrait is in black and white to give the darker feeling, along with the very defined shadows under the eyes.

Picture 2- This portrait looks like it had used natural lighting from the outside because of the green grass in the background of the little girl giving the soft feeling of her face. The photographer used fill the frame but not fully because the girl's face is a major part of the picture, but doesn't overwhelm the whole frame. The photographers name was not mentioned in the site where I found this portrait, but it did talk about Ansel Adams as a photography master within all of the pictures. I like this picture because the little girl's eyes are very blue and bright which give her a warm sort of feeling, along with her messed up hair that shows the real child within her.

Picture 3- This portrait looks like it used natural light from outside because of the color of the color of the little child's skin and the grass which is behind the body. The photographer used focal point and fill the frame in this portrait. The peace of wheat or grass in front of the picture draws the eye right to it, and then lets your eyes drift to the little child's bright colored eyes. The author of this portrait is Elizabeth Bailey and I found it on antalik.com. I really enjoy this picture because you can see some pain within the child's face and mind just by looking at the eyes and mouth of no expression at all.
