__**Left:**__ The lighting that this author used was artificial studio fill or flash. You can see the texture in his face and his clothing really well with this type of lighting.The compositional techniques that were used in this photograph would mainly revolve around focal point because this picture only consists of the man and the white background. Some may also say that this shows some sore of leading lines composition because his body leads your eyes in a vertical motion.The image get you thinking on where he works, or what is going to do, what is he thinking. gives him a whole new look because you can see in his face that he is tiered.

__**Center:**__ In this photo, the lighting that is used is artificial studio fill -- but very low to keep the darkness in the fur and to keep the dark shadows in her face and neck. The compositional techniques that the artist used in this photo are leading lines with the fur that is framing her face whipping back -- causing your focal view more in a half circle from the right to the left. As well as focal point because her white face is if the center of the picture with the black background.This image prtrays on who this woman is, showing with all this big stuff she is a rich woman who is quite happy with herself. The artist for all three photos is //**Richard**// **//Avedon//**.

__**Right:**__ The lighting used in this photo is artificial studio fill or flash.Just like the photo on the Left, the compositional techniques that are used in this photo are focal point and leading lines. Focal point because he is the only subject in the photo, he is placed in front of a white backdrop. Leading lines because his figure makes your eye more in a vertical line from his hand, up his arm, and up to his face. It makes you think what he is going to do, its giving an action shot and what he might be into, formal business type work. The artists for all three photos is //**Richard** **Avedon**//.
