Salmen+Portrait



Photo One: http://pdngallery.com/20years/20mostinfluential/avedon.html Photographer: Arnold Newman I chose this photograph because it is serious but funny at the same time. The way his body is shaped and the way his hand is over his face looks like a little goofy but then his facial expression is very serious. This photo I believe was taken in artificial lighting because of the way that there is only one light in his eye. The point of view in this photo was different, he is looking right at you. He is a little off to the side and he is cover his eye which makes it dramatic.

Photo Two: http://www.photographyoffice.com/2011/01/classic-fashion-and-celebrity-photography-by-irving-penn/ Photographer: Irving Penn I chose this photo because your face goes right to her eyes and her freckles. This picture has amazing contrast with her face and the background. I believe this was a picture taken from indoors and that she is in front of a window looking out of it. You can see the window in her eyes. This photographer chose to full the frame with her face and had nice use of contrast.

Photo Three: http://shirotokuro.com/bjork-by-richard-avedon/ Photographer: Richard Avedon I chose this picture because I liked the way that she was positioned and the way that she was looking into the camera. This picture makes her look really hardcore and outgoing. I think that the lighting in this photo would be studio lighting. There is a plain white background and she does not seem to be outside or in a house. I automatically assumed that she was being taken with artificial lighting because there is no light reflection in her eyes. In this photograph the photographer changed her point of view to make it more interesting.
