Mitchell-K+Portrait

**A: How do these artists make their portraits become true works of art, not just snapshots?**
These artists were able to make their portraits become true works of art and not just snapshots because the artists put a message and some thought behind their photographs so they have a deeper meaning than just a snap shot or anything.

I chose the first photograph because it has a good contrast, leading lines, value, and spacing. This photograph has good value because it was put into black and white so you can see the wide range of color but now it has a wider contrast because you can see the difference between the colors better. I believe that the photographer used natural lighting for this photograph because it is outside and you can see the shadows from the sun in the back.

I chose the second photograph because I like how it's not a direct picture of the subject, it's a picture of a shadow and a photograph of the subject. This photograph caught my attention because it has a really cool concept in the fact that it's a photograph of a photograph. This photo uses leading lines and contrast because the contrast of the lightly colored photograph and the shape of the silhouette guides your eye through the photograph. It looks like the photographer used dramatic lighting to create this photograph.

I chose the third photograph because I like how natural this photograph looks and while it has a somewhat simple concept it's a good simple. I like this photograph because it has beautiful natural lighting, the colors all fight together nicely, and the shape of the grass leads your eye up to the subject.

All three of these photos were photographed by Timothy White and I got them off of his website http://www.timothywhite.com/portfolios
