DaulK-+Portrait



The main reason why I enjoy this photograph is that it captures true emotion that the person is having. In regular portraits people might just stare straight ahead, or smile. Berenice Abbott does a great job at showing emotion so that we the people who look at his work, can feel the emotion that they feel as well.



The photograph above was taken by Timothy White. He did multiple things that I enjoy. One is the use of pattern, he has stripes, and polka dots all going on in this picture. Another thing that I thought was really cool was how the background has black and white, but the woman has a bunch of colors upon her wardrobe which make her pop out instead of getting lot in the picture.



This portrait taken by Imogen Cunningham is not a picture most people would fine very interesting. The reason why I found unique was how the light captured his face. Having half of his face catch the light, while the other half casting a shadow was a great choice he made. This picture contains natural lighting that the sun provides. The compositional technique used is focal point, because there's only one main subject in the photo to look at. This picture influences me because it makes me think that you don't always have to make such a pretty face when taking portraits.
