For the lighting style each of the artists used different types of lighting. Irving Penn, the artist for the 1st photograph seemed to use a more harsh light, really emphasizing the hair and make up of the first model. As for the second photograph also by Irving Penn, the light is bright, but in a way natural. Although the third photograph by Evrim Icoz uses natural light making the overall photo seem vintage.

The type of compositional technique used in the picture on the left was the contrast between black and white using the grey shade in-between. Also the photo has leading lines with her hair, how the eye is drawn from top to bottom of the page. As for the middle picture, the head along with the hair, fills the frame due to how it is zoomed in and can also work for rule of thirds. Lastly the technique in the picture on the right is focus, making the hair and body of the toddler less noticeable than the face
