Worcester+Portraits

My first image is Elena Kurnosova taken by Timothy White and I really liked this photo because of the unique way in which it created movement. Also, White utilized natural outside light and studio light to create this image. I think that leading lines are a HUGE part of this photo because the drag your eyes around the woman's dress and her movement compared to her plain striped background.

Umbehr probably used artificial light (such as studio light) to take this photograph. Also, there is definitely framing, which was used to surround his eye with the camera, and the photographer really did a great job filling the frame, but in way that didn't distract from the focal point of the camera.

The studio light from the right really brings out Goldberg's distinct features in her hair and face and pulls you all the way through the top of the light source to the end of her knee. The rule of thirds was applied because she is positioned of slightly to the right along with the light--ending up along the right cross drawn from the rule of thirds. Also I think that the light even framed her in a way, because of the way it pulls you up and around her back and neck. Source: []
