My first image is made by Philippe Halsman. This photograph really caught my eye, it is a beautiful photograph. The man in the photo is gracefully jumping in the air and it looks like he is soaring. I think it is interesting because in the background their is a plane on the ground. It looks as if the man is flying higher than the plane, or that he is just like a plane. The lighting in this image is natural and it is outside, but it is in black and white. This image is an interesting point of view because it looks like he is higher and bigger than the plane and it is taken from a lower point than the subject in the photo.

My next photo was made by Irving Penn. I found this photo very interesting because it is of a business man and you can't see his eyes, but you can tell he sees you. Also you can't see his mouth which is curious. I think you can't see his eyes because you can always tell if someone is telling the truth by looking at their eyes and if someone is selling you something they aren't always telling the truth. The lighting in this image is probably studio lighting. The image isn't in color it has a sepia tint to it, it makes the image seem more business like, because usually business isn't happy and colorful. This image is framed and it is a very simple photo and is a straight on shot, but it still is a great photo.

My last picture was made by Robert Bergman. This image is fascinating because the man in the photograph is a regular guy out on the streets. The way he looks at the camera, it seems as if he is suspicious of why this photo was being taken. He also is holding on to a book in his hands. The man seems very worried and reluctant to trust others. The lightening used in this image is natural lighting from the outdoors. The photo is in color but the colors are very dull and sad to show the mood of the man in the photograph.
