In the first picture by Annie Lebowits she uses a dramatic lighting. The background consists of dark shades of black and blue, while the subjects face is very well lit. There are parts of the portrait that are very well lit, while others are dark. The compositional technique used would be leading lines because the lines in her colar lead you up to her face.

The lighting in the second photo would be natural. It's not too dramatic but there are still different tones of light throughout the picture. There also are shades of white, black, and grey.The compositional technique used would again be rule of thirds because there are different things happening in each part of the picture.

The third picture, dramatic lighting is used. The right side of his face is very lit up while the background of the photo is dark. This gives it a dramatice feel even though it is a simple portrait.
