Patterson+Portrait


 * Left Image:** Shot by Jacques-Henri Lartigue, photographing Richard Avedon from []

The type of lighting used in this photograph would be artificial with studio lights. Techniques that are used could be framing because the pole on the subjects right and the umbrella on the left of the subject which could also incorporate the rule of thirds. The point of view is an artist is capturing another artist at work and capturing the movement and the excitement of the artist; it shows the what people would see on the outside and the excitement the artist getting photographed is about his work. I really like how not posed this photograph is; it's capturing a very human, passionate moment.


 * Middle Image:**Self-portrait of Germaine Krull from []

The type of lighting used in this photograph seems like natural available lighting. Techniques that are used in this piece could be fill-the-frame because the subject takes up a majority of the photograph and the focal point of the picture is obviously the camera. Since this is a self portrait, I thought it was interesting that he decided to hid behind the camera and it seems, to me, like he's saying "my work is who I am".


 * Right Image:** Portrait shot by Bahman Farzad from []

I thought that this lighting was natural available lighting and techniques that were used are fill-the-frame because it is very zoomed in and the baby's head is the focal point. The photograph makes you feel like you're right there with the mother and her baby and I think it portrays the feelings that a mother or family would be feeling with a newborn, just love and happiness. The lighting is really soft and the background is really out of focus so I think that adds to the softness and gentleness of the photograph.
