This image was photographed by Arnold Newman and it has many fundamental concepts of photography within it. Some examples of this are rule of thirds because the President is not placed directly in the middle of the photo. Also it has filling the frame because many of the pillars and other architectural aspects of the building are going off the page. Finally by putting this in black and white, it tells a story and describes the subject better.

This was one of many pictures taken by the famous photographer, Timothy White. He is most known for his portraits of celebrities and beautiful pictures for magazines. In this picture he does a close up of the subject but does not show her entire face, this creates the effect of mystery and curiosity of the subject. By doing a close up, it shows more personality and describes Scarlett Johansson for who she is. Also by putting it in black and white, it adds depth to the photo.

This image of William Burroughs was taken by Annie Leibovitz and has all the necessary requirements that make portraits interesting. The way she chose to light this image so that all of the subjects wrinkles and flaws tells the story of how he became this way. Also she makes this image so that his eyes pop and are the "window to the soul" which adds interest for the viewer. Black and white once again adds depth to the photo.
