The first photograph is of Michelle Obama and it was taken by Annie Leibovitz. I love how dramatic, yet simple it is. It's so elegant, showing exactly how she presents herself. Also, it's a wonderful profile photograph. Leibovitz most likely used artificial studio fill lighting. Mrs. Obama is almost framed by the gray background. Source: [|Washington Post]

The second image is of Angelina Jolie and it was photographed by Martin Schoeller. I chose this image because not many people can look flattering oh-so close up to the camera, but Angelina still looks stunning. She seems to be wearing little makeup, yet her face is glowing. In the top left hand corner we see a beige type of color which most likely means this was taken in a studio and probably used artificial flash or fill lighting. This picture has rule of thirds and it's almost symmetrical balance besides a few differences like her freckle. Source: [|Christie's Website]

This last image is the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. The woman is Demi Moore and was also taken by Annie Leibovitz. Not many women pose nude while pregnant, but Demi had the courage to show her body even while bearing a baby. She looks extremely regal even as a pregnant woman without any clothes on. The lighting is artificial and probably studio fill. The background frames her body and shows her point of view on pregnancy- you can still be bold and beautiful! Source: [|Hollywood Celebs Gossip]
