Mikaela+G+Portrait



The first picture on the left I found on Flickr. It's from the user "ajpscs". It looks like her lighting was natural, and that the photo was taken outside. Her hair really stands out, considering it's almost a neon orange and the rest of the colors in the photo are cooler colors. It really grabbed my attention when I was looking for pictures. You could probably say she filled the frame, because the umbrella takes up the whole background. Also, there may be leading lines, because the metal bars inside the umbrella all lead back to her face. : http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajpscs/3664721537/

The second picture I also found on Flickr. The user was "marenkathleen". She also used natural lighting, which was obviously her being outdoors since she's in a pool. I thought the photo captured her whole face very well, especially her eyes. It's almost like you can tell what she's feeling. The description on her photo was saying that she was in her pool where she lives in Mississippi to escape the hot sun. It gives me a feeling of wanting to be in the pool or somewhere warm. It looks like she used fill the frame and her eye could be the focal point. That's the first thing I got drawn in to. : http://www.flickr.com/photos/marenk/4742742246/

The last photo was from Flickr and it's by the user "Eliza[beth] Grace". What really grabbed my attention was her eyes and the paint on her face. It's unique, but it looks really cool and interesting. Her lighting looks like it was artificial, with a studio fill. I really felt like I could capture what she was feeling; it almost looks like she's worried or scared, but yet confident. She definitely filled the frame. Leading lines and the rule of thirds could also be possible. The paint around her face draws me back into her eyes and if you were to divide up the photo, there's definitely a rule of thirds seen. : http://www.flickr.com
