In the first photo that I chose by Imogen Cunningham uses leading lines as its technique with the ropes and placement of the three people to really make the photo beautiful and complete. the artist also used a studio type lighting, making the image appear more dramatic and entreating. To me this photo tells that these three people are all competitive dancers. The second photo that I chose, also by Imogen Cunningham, tells a lot about the person in it. It shows that this man is a doctor and he is smiling so this shows that he probably likes his job. It is also interesting that Imogen put the head piece facing down over his eye, showing us that a good portrait doesn't have to show the entire face. The shadows on his body are also interesting. The last thing that stands out to me in this photo is how the extra jacket is hanging in the back and is in focus, Imogen probably did this on porpoise top show that this man does not work alone. The last portrait is personally my favorite, in this photo, the artist used leading lines to go back into the mirrors and look at this face. This person is also looking up which could show that he is thinking or maybe confused, this kind of puts a mysterious side to the picture, and makes it interesting.
