Chace+G+Portrait



I chose this photograph initially because I really enjoyed the contrast between the light innocence of the little girl, and the strong structure of her father John F. Kennedy. It was very effective by filling the frame also. In //Caroline Kennedy & John F. Kennedy, Florida, 1961 outside light is being used, in Florida to be specific, and was taken by Richard Avedon .// //[|Avedon Portrait]//

Elegance completely envelops this photograph, which is exactly what drew me to it. The effortless beauty of it is what makes the picture great. Leibovitz accomplishes this by her use of dramatic lighting and point of view composition. The portrait is titled //Nicole Kidman// after her model like she does for most of her work. [|Leibovitz Portrait] I felt this was a strong portrait because when looking at it the emotion of the man is just so clear. Many of us have had this kind of moment where you're at the point of being so stressed you're practically at the breaking point. Irving Penn uses fill the frame in his photo of novelist Truman Capote and fill lighting which adds to the drama of the picture. [|Penn Portrait]
