Mulkerrins+Portrait

Obviously, I tend to connect more with portraits of women. I also like portraits that are more empowering rather than happy, sad, or angry. I believe the first two by Irving Penn and Julia Margaret Cameron, from the right were take with studio light, though it is difficult to tell since they are not in complete color. The photo on the far right of the little girl was definitely taken with natural lighting. I liked how fill the frame was used for the first photo no the left, that is definitely a strong component of the photo that enhances it's overall quality. Throughout all of the photos there is a strong compositional motif of empowerment, displayed through the emotion on the subject's faces, and the way they are posed. My favorite is definitely the middle which is taken by Cindy Sherman because of the dazed look she has on her face, it definitely creates a strong compositional element to the photo. ======
