 * How do these artists make their portraits become true works of art, not just snapshots?
 * They add concept behind the photo and they use different lighting techniques along with different poses the poser can do to make the photo unique to their personality
 * What lighting and compositional techniques are evident in the photographer’s work?
 * The lighting needs to hit the picture in a certain way in order for it to actually capture what the photographer is trying to capture. For example, if someone is trying to point out a specific prop or detail in the photo, they can use the light to pop it out or take away light from it. The lighting is also very important to capture the mode of the photo. If the photo is meant to be more sad and somber, then the lighting would be darker, but if the photo needed to be more happy and cheerful, then the lighting would be a lot brighter.
 *  How might their work influence you own?
 *  They can give me different ideas for concept or lighting techniques. They can help me understand what makes a good portrait and what a good portrait looks like.
 *  Connections to your own work and your own experiences. What does it remind you of?
 *  Some connections to my work would be when I went on a photoshoot with my friend and we took a lot of portraits of each other that had really cool lighting effects.
