I think that the image on the left is a very good example of dramatic lighting, the artist made it dramatic by using artificial lighting. The image in the middle is a good example of natural lighting, everything in the image looks pure and simple. The image on the right has natural lighting but it has a very dramatic and sad feeling to it. The image on the right although it is subtle it used the rule of thirds because the woman is placed more towards the left of the image not just right in the middle. The middle image uses leading lines very well, if you really look and think about all of the objects around her they all have a line leading to her. Lastly the image on the left uses fill the frame by taking the picture very close to the subject and they used framing by having the light only shine around the subjects face. These artist were able to make their portraits become more than just a snapshot because they were able to bring out their concept by using different lighting techniques and art principles. Their art work for sure influenced me because I like how all of them have different moods and that is what I like to show the most in my images.
