Path and Pen tool. Triangle of Exposure

Artist of The Week: Herb Ritts

This photo is shot at a great angle and edited to have a very fitting and beautiful color scheme, the moles in black, lightness and darkness of the two sides of the face and tan color of the body using photographic effects really gives a beautiful impression to this lady, her moles add a flair and style to the image. Overall this image communicates love, vanity and natural human beauty.

This photo is great because it illustrates a modern image of a type of man that people don't usually see that much of. The hair style using black and background of white contrasts nicely. The shaved halfway beard, eyelashes, and other features especially the mole give a feministic image to the man in the picture and the nick collars or some sort of fashion gives even more femininity to the man. The white and black is great for this image.

Artist Of The Week - Clarence Hudson White

This photo is a magnificent use of scenery/architecture of a house and focal points to contrast the position of a lady lying on her bed to the shadows of a staircase and tall doorway and other features of the vault ceiling style housing. Futhermore, the light inside the room and distant curtains and shadow of the staircase gives a depth to the image, almost like perspective. The slight inclusion of the rounded end of the staircase adds a nice touch to the photo.

This photo is a great capture of a woman's personality, it seems like her natural state and not a pose. The picture nicely compares the black color in her dress and hair to the white hat and white pieces of the dress. Her deep and serious expression with the position of her hand on her face is really thoughtful and possibly indicative of this women's life. Great photo and features overall! The presence of her ear and dress's wrinkles also adds to the photo's enjoyment.
