Portrait+Assignment

Eve Arnold's portraits convey different emotions. They all have faces of people, especially famous people, with an emotion. She was especially famous for Marilyn Monroe photographs. There is a variety in culture, from the times she went to China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan. Her photographs vary from black and white to colour. All of the examples below are candid shots, but she also takes location and studio shots. The people look away at something and add interet, in my opinion. I really like her photographs because they are simple, and yet very interesting and taken nicely. Her photographs are also very fashionable and most of them tell stories.

 * Cecil Beaton**

Cecil Beaton was famous for photographing the Royal Family for official publication. A lot of the pictures are simple yet extravagant. They also convey emotions and are balanced. The people in his photographs look at or away from the camera. There are pictures with element relationship, studio, location, and candid. A lot of his photographs are dramatic through the use of fabric, background, jewellery, the people, clothing, and shadows. Lighting is a very important factor in his photos; they enhance the photographs by making them look and feel soft or sharp.
