Title: None
Artist Robert Bergman makes his portrait a true work of art by exercising his patience to take the perfect shot and combining a texture-filled background with a model dressed in white to balance the colors appropriately. He used natural light, specifically filtered sunlight on a cloudy day, to shoot this photo because there is no evidence of hard-sun spots on the model's face. Additionally, Artist Bergman applied Rule of Thirds (the model is centered) and Focal Point (the photo focuses on the model) to enhance his photo. This artwork influences my own, by encouraging me to shoot photos with greater texture and dress my model's appropriately to balance the background.

Title: Frank Stella New York NY 1967
Artist Arnold Newman makes his portrait a true work of art by incorporating colors and lines to create a unique perspective and creating a personality for his model based upon the setting. He used artificial light, specifically a studio light source (i.e. spot light or strobe light) to shoot this photo because of the reflection on the model's glasses and the emphasis on the colorful wall. Additionally, Artist Newman applied Leading Lines (the colorful wall leads to the model) and Fill the Frame (the colorful wall and the model take up the entire space) to enhance his photo. This artwork influences my own, by encouraging me to experiment with color and shape and allowing my subject to run off the edge of the photo.

Title: Susan Sontag
Artist Annie Leibovitz makes her portrait a true work of art by capturing a beautiful simplicity and expressing the model's personality by giving her a story. She used natural light, specifically filtered sunlight on a cloudy day, to shoot this photo because the sky is bleach-white and the model has no sign of a sun reflection in her eyes. Additionally, Artist Leibovitz applied Level of Horizon (the background has a line of horizon) and Fill the Frame (the model takes up the entire space) to enhance her photo. This artwork influences my own, by encouraging me to experiment with black-and-white photos and capturing the simplicity of a subject to tell a story.
