Vega+-+Portrait

In Eve Arnold’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe, she creates an all black background so the focal point of the picture is Marilyn which is more of a dramatic lighting. Arnold uses a certain compositional techniques which is fill the frame. This particular picture is a true work of art since the whole concept is stunning. Even though it does look somewhat basic, it captures beauty. Arnold’s work could influence my own by the way she took the picture with the all black background. http://www.photography-art-cafe.com/famous-portrait-photographers.html

Edouard Boubat creates a stunning image of a woman standing still by the ocean carrying her child. In this picture, natural lighting would have been used since the picture takes place outdoors. Compositional techniques Boubat demonstrated would be level of horizon and rule of thirds. By doing this, the entire surroundings of the woman and child are captured yet they are still the main focal point of the picture. This portrait Boubat captured could influence my own work by me taking a picture of someone from behind, like what he did in this picture, thus making the person anonymous. http://www.photography-art-cafe.com/famous-portrait-photographers.html

Larry Clark captures a photo of a man whose posture isn’t the greatest yet in so many ways this picture it is art. Clark seems to have used artificial lighting since the picture seems to take place indoors. Yet Clark uses a compositional techniques which is rule of thirds because of the placement of the man. Clark could influence future portrait photos I capture by the way I would position the person. http://www.blueskyclassroom.net/course_content_files/imported_%20content_files/common%20to%20all%20files/useful_web_sites/Camera%20Techniques%20and%20ideas/Self%20Portraiture/famous%20photographers%20-%20self%20portrait.htm
