Gabby+M+A4+Portrait




 * Picture 1:** This is a photo taken by Imogen Cunningham adds literal layers and metaphorical layers to the portrait. The lighting used in this photo is dramatic, which makes the lace around her face that much more mysterious. The compositional techniques shown in this portrait are fill the frame and focal point. By having the lace and her eyes as the focal point, it really makes you wonder why she seems so serious, and what the lace is covering.

 * Picture 2:** This photo was taken by Danny Santos. He's a photographer that goes around cities and asks to take photos of random strangers. That way all the pictures he takes are what people are truly like. In the captions below each of his photos he mentions a little about each. This particular one was taken outside on a stairwell. The light used is natural. The natural light of this piece gives it a very legitimate feel. Fill the frame and focal point are definitely the compositional techniques used here. Her face fills the entire screen, giving viewers a better look at all of the details. And because this is a portrait it makes sense that her face be the focal point of the portrait.
