1. She has intense background and that is well thought out with the expression of the person in the photo. 2. The expression on the faces of the people in the photo, because most of his portraits seem simple and plain, the expression that is across the face of the people in the photo make the photo a really true work of art. 3. One of Julia’s quotes was “Where I have such men before my camera, my whole soul has endeavored to do my duty towards them, in faithfully the greatness of inner, as well as the features of the outer man.” I think that she was truly saying she wanted to capture the inner beauty of the people she displayed in her portraits, she wanted to show the personality of the person and not just a picture of what they look like.
 * How do these artists make their portraits become true works of art, not just snapshots?**

1.She uses a lot of leading lines in a lot of her artwork, she uses a mixture between artificial and natural lighting sources. 2.For most it appears that he uses dramatic lighting, but in some he uses natural light. He mainly uses level horizon for his portraits, and most the time his subjects are centered but there are a few that he uses rule of thirds 3. Julia typically used natural light when taking her photos because they didn’t have as much lighting back then as they do now. She used the sunlight that shined in through the window of her studio because her subjects tended to complain about having to sit in the hot sunlight. 1. I really enjoy how she uses the whole body to create an image. 2. I really like the simplicity of how the image appears but when you look deep into the subjects eyes, you can see the deeper meaning. 3. This may influence my work because I do really like the eerie feel that her images portray and how much you can tell about a person in her photographs.
 * What lighting and compositional techniques are evident in the photographer's work?**
 * How might their artwork influence your own?**
