Bierce+Portrait



"Gallery." Timothy White. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Oct. 2014. .

The photographer I had gotten all of these portraits from was Timothy White. In all of the pictures White had used artificial lighting, with a fill lighting and studio lighting also. In the first picture, White had shot a picture of the actress, Lily Collins. To take this portrait, he used the compositional techniques of focal point, and framing. Also the picture had a level horizon. He had also put contrast in the picture, by dressing her in all black and having the background to black to contrast her pale skin. Then in the second picture, White had taken a portrait of Rachel Mcadams, the famous actress from the movie “The Notebook”. In this picture he had used focal point, interesting point of view, and framing. The final portrait, is of Kim Kardashian. The photographer had used interesting point of view, focal point, and fill the frame.

To make these pictures real works of art, they don’t just take a picture of the subject, but add a background and make it interesting to look at. They make it like a scene, and make it seem like there is something going on, and this is just a candid taken at a random point in time.
