Gerrits+Portrait



Timothy White photographed Keith Urban and Busta Rymes. I really liked his portraits of these two music artist because it shows their personality. In the portrait of Busta Rymes, the lighting was artificial light inside because it is black and white and there is a gray background that doesn't look like anything that is outside. While his photo of Keith Urban looks like natural light that is inside, but you can see the light coming in from the window. Also these two pictures are differently placed on the picture, for example, Keith Urban isn't right in the middle of the picture, but he is more towards the left with his micro-phone. Busta Rymes is right in the middle but his face and hair make you look at that so he needed to zoom in on him to show his personality.

The second picture is photographed by Cindy Sherman. I really think that this is a good photograph because she took the picture looking up of the person instead of straight on and makes her look like she is in charge. The lighting that was used was probably natural light because it looks like she is outside because of the background which looks like the side of a building. She looks like she is right in the center of the picture but her scarf makes it look like it is cold out and windy and she is like taking a walk. She is also probably centered because she is like in charge and they want to show that in her portrait.
