Siebert+Portrait



Type of lighting: The type of lighting used in these artist photographs are all lighting from a studio. Why I think the lighting is studio is because they all look like they are sitting in a studio with the light reflecting off of the people.

Type of compositional techniques: The most common compositional technique used was the rule of thirds. The people in the photograph are all placed in the center of the piece. Leading lines might be used in the ballerina photo but mostly is the rule of thirds.

Merly Steep by Annie Leibovitz This artist makes her work a portrait by having the model standing away from the camera with her face painted white and looking serious while doing something weird with her face. Lighting used in this is a studio light because it looks like she is in a studio and the light is bouncing off of her. This artist piece influenced me because as much as the model is trying to be serious you can see that it’s trying to be silly too.

Richard Avedon This artist makes they’re portrait stand out by having the ballerinas look like they are in action so it’s like a candid portrait. This is definitely in a studio because that’s where ballerinas practice. This artist influenced me because the portrait doesn’t always have to show the person's face.

Julia Margaret Cameron This piece is a portrait because it’s a candid the girl is in motion of doing something. This piece is taken in a studio because the lighting looks artificial. This artist influenced me because it’s a candid and the girl isn’t looking at the camera. [|__http://www.atgetphotography.com/Images/Photos/JuliaMargaretCameron/cameron6s.jpg__]

Richard Avedon This portrait is of a man up close looking out into space with a serious look. This portrait was taken in a studio because the lighting bounces off the model and in the background looks like a inside of something. This artist influenced me because the man is very close to the camera and there is no additional room for background. __ [] __
