Cook-Portrait



Most of the photos where by Timothy White, his pictures are unique in each way. He uses a lot of fill the frame and framing. His lighting varies each time he takes a picture. He uses natural lighting, like inside and some outside. Also he uses studio lighting and fill light and dramatic lighting. It depends on each of his subjects.

Then the Marilyn Monroe picture was done by Richard Avedon, he uses artificial lighting like studio and dramatic lighting. I love the way he got the glitter in her dress also the definition of her hair she is a well known icon in the world of film and he took a great photograph and portrait of her.

Then the picture in the top left was done by Cindy Sherman, she also uses natural lighting and would be outside, though its hard to tell in the picture from it being a gray picture you can see the shadowing of the buildings.

I choose these pictures based upon the intriguing ways each portrait was done as you can see I favor the Timothy White pictures because each photo is different from each other and uses different techniques in each. He uses leading lines, fill the frame, framing. His photos are striking to me and beautiful in each way. Then the other two photos had a striking face and unique way of taking a portrait. Each of the photos showed a new way to take a portrait and that it is not just a picture of the face. Also that in each piece the photographers used rule of thirds letting your eyes draw to each part of the picture.
