Alexis+H+Portrait




 * 1.** I like this photo of Marlon Brando because Margaret Bourke-White really captured the fun loving guy that he is. I think that it is available lighting, because it looks like from what little you can see that he's inside. In this photo they used rule of thirds because he's off to the side, they also use hi as the focal point because everything that was behind him was blurred out. Margaret Bourke-White was the artist behind this photograph, I found it at life.com (Your World In Pictures).


 * 2.** I liked this photo because it's smooth and clean and I found it just really interesting and beautiful. I don't know what kind of light is used in this but I have a feeling that it's artificial because she doesn't have any shadows that would come with available or outside lighting, so I think it may be studio fill or flash.. Again rule of thirds and focal point are used in this photography because she isn't smack dab in the middle and the background is blurred out. This photograph was taken by Michael Chandler and I got it off flickr.com


 * 3.** I liked this portrait because I feel like you really capture what the model is thinking or feeling, and with a portrait you're meant to capture the inner beauty of the person and who they really are and I think the artist accomplished that. This person is outside, and so they're probably using natural outside lighting but because it was changed to sepia you can't be sure. In this photograph leading lines is used and so is rule of thirds because the model isn't really right in the middle but she's a little off to the left. This photo was taken by Paul Strand and I got it off blandflaneur.com.
