Elvers_Portrait

Th first picture of the lady looks to me as though it was shot with a soft light because there are not really any harsh shadows on her face. The compositional technique that was used her was fill the frame because the whole picture is the ladie and there is not much of a background.

The second picture of the man in the cair appears to have been shot with studio lighting because there are no deep shadows and the picture looks very posed and as though there is light coming from all angles. The compositional technique that was used here is framing because the dull background kind of frames him in a way because it is so bland that it draws your eye two the man sitting on the edge of the chair.

The third picture of the man working appears to have been shot with dramatic lighting because there are harsh shadows and his face and in the background.The compositional technique that was used here is rule of thirds because everything is evenly spaced out in the picture.

All of these photos were taken by Margaret Bourke-White.
