Picture 1: [] The type of lighting that Arnold Newman uses is inside lighting. His portrait is considered inside lighting because the picture is not taken outside so therefore it must have to be artificial and inside lighting. The types of techniques he uses are rule of thirds, then though he is in the middle of the picture he is in one of the thirds. He did a very good job using emotions throughout his picture because not all picture have to have the same emotion and in this one you can tell that he is in deep thought, which make me wonder what he is thinking. Therefore this picture makes me think, since it is in black and white it really emphasizes the thought that could have been put into this to take the picture.

Picture 2: [] The type of lighting that Richard Avedon uses in this picture is exactly the same to the first one, that's because that type of lighting really caught my eye. Along with that point a lot of photographers took similar pictures, whether that's in black and white to make it look more dramatic of a close up to make you look at the picture differently. The second picture demonstrates that not all self portraits have to be looking at the camera. I tried to use that similar technique in one of my picture to make the picture look like it has more behind in than looking directly at the camera. With that being said this photographer and the first one really showed emphasis on the fill the frame. close up and black and white to make it dramatic.

Picture 3: [] This portrait really showed the audience the idea of leading lines, and that is because of the lines that take you around the camera and then slowly drift off into the background. Richard Avedon had a good concept of focal point, where he made the camera and his hands the focal point of the portrait and then blurred everything else.
