1. The first photograph done by Diane Arbus was shot in natural lighting because the little boy is standing outside. Compositional techniques used within the photograph was rule of thirds because the boy, the tree, and the people in the park all are at different places within the levels of the picture. This portrait is entitled, Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, N.Y.C. 1962. I think this picture is really funny and interesting at the same time. The face the boy is making is so goofy and his hand is in such a weird,claw like, position. It is very interesting to look at because he is so skinny and fragile, and how his little strap is falling off his shoulder. Its also an ironic portrait because he is holding a destructive but toy grenade in the middle of a beautiful park..Over all I enjoyed and like this photograph.

2. The model with the flowers, Emma Bashforth, was photographed by Cecil Beaton in 1932. In his portrait he used the compositional technique of fill the frame because Emma and the flowers are zoomed in almost, filling the entire picture. He also used depth of field because the picture draws you in with the contrast between the black and white. The lighting in this photograph appears to have been studio lighting, however I could be mistaken. I really love this picture because of how it draws a person in with the depth flowers and the lighting on her face is so drastic. The contrast is so cool on her eyes because the bottom on one is dark and the top of the other is dark.

3. The final portrait was photographed by Mary Ellen Mark. The lighting within the photo was either available light. Available light appears to be in the portrait because in the top of the small mirror it looks as though there is a light reflecting within that mirror. Mary Ellen Mark used the compositional techniques of rule of thirds and leveling the horizon. Rule of thirds is present because there is something in each third of the picture. Leveling the horizon is within the portrait because it seems to be on a diagonal, but it really was shot straight on. I really loved this picture because for one its really girly, the expression on the girls face makes you really think about what shes feeling (conserned, bored, sad?), and the idea of two portraits in one.
