Willis-Portrait



Richard Avedon: In this photograph of Elizabeth Taylor, by Richard Avedon, three different compositional techniques. The first technique is filling the frame. The second is framing, the whole face is framed by large feathers. The last technique used is leading lines. When looking at the feathers, they lead you around and into the face. The lighting used in this photo is studio lighting. The way the lighting was used in this photo was a somewhat dramatic lighting, so the way her face is lit up and how the feathers frame her face brings out the fact that she was a high end, very important person.

Steve McCurry: In this photograph by Steve McCurry the lighting used is natural sunlight and maybe a camera flash. Composition techniques used in this photo include filling the frame and leading lines. The photographer filled the frame with the face of the subject and the top part of the traditional outfit. McCurry did a very good job of using leading lines in this picture. All the creases on the face and the necklace lead you up and through the picture. Source: []

Julia Margaret: The lighting Julia Margaret used in this photo is studio lighting. There are two compositional techniques used here. Margaret used framing in the picture along with the rule of thirds. The face of the girl is framed by the angel wings. There are also points of interests in the top thirds. Source: []
