=Diane Arbus:=
 * Diane Arbus developed the idiosyncratic style in which she had been praised and recognized for her work. She also wants to show the detail within the people’s faces and the expressions that they are showing.


 * Diane likes to use natural lighting, for example in her picture from The Met it shows a stranger on the bus with light pouring in from the outside onto this lady and it shows the features of this older lady and the expression of being really serious on her face.

> This way she uses the natural lighting really impresses me because you never know how this is going to turn out because the lighting could change any second if a cloud passes by the sun or if it starts to go dimmer. So the way she uses the lighting really impresses me and I would like to try this as well.

> idiosyncratic style-Out of the ordinary style

> Some of her work really reminds me of what you could see yourself during a trip on a vacation and for me the way she uses lighting really looks like one of my pictures I took on my own vacation. This picture I took was the one I actually took on vacation in Missouri with the twin waterfalls and I used it for the cyanotype project.


 * In the photo above she uses the natural lighting to light her subject which is the lady on the bus. Some of her composition techniques she uses in this photo was framing her subject which is the windows and shadows framing the lady. She also uses leading lines to lead your eyes to the subject and moves you around the picture.

=Imogene Cunningham:= > Imogene uses the lighting by reflecting the image of the person’s face and their features to tell the story and she wants them to be the main focus of the pictures. She shows in some of her pictures that she will blacken the objects around and whiten the people so they will stand out more instead of the objects and background behind them. > >
 * Imogene really uses the expressions and their surrounds to tell the people’s true stories. This is why these aren’t just snap and let’s go shots they are planned and thought out pieces of art that express this person and how he/she might actually act like.
 * With Imogene’s work she really will inspire my work with the way she makes white objects stand out from the darkened objects in her pictures. Why I might take this into my own would be so that the light will shine and reflect the main parts of the piece instead of the not so important parts like the background or other objects within the piece.
 * I think what I can relate to is again with my cyanotypes since when we made it negative I had to burn and dodge my picture of the waterfalls to make sure the detail and the waterfalls would be the main focus of the piece.


 * In this photo above Imogene used natural lighting from the moon but from here it also looks like she could have used a dramatic or fill light as well. Some of the composition techniques that she used was leading lines throughout each board of the fence and the branches leading to the women's face. She also uses framing to frame the women's face and to create a focal point in the middle with the women's face. It also uses filling the frame since there is so many things covering the entire picture like the branches, the women, and the fence in the background.

=Robert Bergman:=
 * Robert really uses the expressions and background of where he takes his photos from influence his work in which when you look at his pictures many will tell a story about where they came from and where they are today.


 * Robert also uses the lighting and color of the area around the person to play into the picture he is taking, what I mean by this is that when he takes his pictures he wants the person to be the main focus and the colors and detail within their face that the lighting will bring out will take effect in his pictures.


 * What I would take from Robert would be to take the color and detail he uses to show the features of the person and their expressions, the reason why is because I really want to show the emotion and detail within the person and why they are showing that emotion.


 * Why doesn’t he try to take a picture of both a homeless person and a person who isn’t to show the difference of the experiences and everyday life of each one?

>
 * What I can relate to with Robert is that when I look at his work I really like how he also uses a lot of detail within hi art and I love using detail to show the realistic look of art and the images you want to portrait in your pieces. So something to relate to with him is how detailed we like to make our art and what we really want to show in our pieces
