**Photo on the Left**
The photo on the left with the woman and child is called Madra by Edouard Boubat. Based on what I have read about this artist, about how he was good at capturing people in their "natural" habitat and the fact I would assume that the lighting is natural. The compositional techniques of this photo would definitely have to be level horizon, point of view, and leading lines. It is obvious that level horizon is one as the ocean is level, the point of view is interesting because it is the back of the mother and child. There are leading lines from the ocean and also because the subject is looking out over the ocean and it pulls your eye there to see what they're looking at.


 * Center Photo**

The center photograph is //untitled// by Robert Bergman. Because Robert Bergman is an artist who takes pictures primarily of people on the street I would assume that this photo is also shot in natural light. The compositional techniques of this photo is fill the frame and the little boy takes up primarily all of the picture, focal point, because the boy is the obvious subject of the photo and rule of thirds because the boy is mostly center however the fact that he is slightly to the left and that his body is turned makes it slightly more interesting. Another things I found fascinating about this photo is that the background was pretty much in focus and that helped show that even the person is a kid they live in a world that's not innocent, it's decaying and rough.


 * Photo on the Right**

This photo is called Marilyn Monroe by Eve Adams. Because this was shot on the set of movie it could be natural light however based on the shadows it looks as if it could be dramatic light as well. Some compositional techniques I think this photo demonstrates is point of view, fill the frame and leading lines. This is an example of point of view because I think that the fact that she's not looking in the camera makes it seem she doesn't even know it's so she doesn't have to be somebody else for it, she is just herself. The photo demonstrates fill the frame, and leading lines because she takes up the entire photo and her hair and coat leads the viewer to different areas.
