Eve Arnold
The image shows a woman with short, blonde, and curly hair. She has a low cut white blouse with cherries scattered around in a random pattern. Her head is resting on a wooden beam while she looks off camera towards the sky. Leaning on the beam conveys her distant presence as if she is not in the moment but rather in a dream. Her eyes are bright and glossy like her mind full with thoughts and dreams. By leaning on the wood, it is evident she is not fully in the moment both physically and emotionally since she is not standing straight carring her weight as a fully awake person does. The split lighting along the left side of her face casts a shadow over her face adding a dark sentiment to her. Framing is created by the woodem beam that block the rest of her arm she is using to support her self with. The simplicity of the background allows for the main focus to be her face, emphesising her day dreaming emotion.

There is contrast between her black shirt and her white pants which help accentuate her infamous body. The endless lines of the wooden background help guide the eye from the top to the bottom of the image. The use of butterfly lighting continous to add on to the over arching dark mood of the image.

Duane Michals
A woman with dark black hair is standing near a bedroom window. She is holding a large circular mirror with both hands while looking back at her reflection. Her shirt is a long sleeve turtle neck with a small cut out near the shoulder, expossing minimal skin. The reflection shows a serious young woman who is suprised by her distorted reflection. The streched out effect of the mirror gives a sensation that the face carries on forveve past the mirrors boundries. Her modern shirt complements the bizzare mirror reflection as they are both different than what people are accustumed to. Butterfly lighting is seen in the reflection along with rembrandt lighting which add to the eerie mood of the image. The mirror frames the her face accentuating the misshapen reflection of the mirror. The lines surrounding the mirror help guide the eye round and round in circles around the reflection

The shadow of an older man with a long exposure is standing in the middle of a room. Behind his shadow there is a window with transparent white curtains being blown into the room. In front of the man is a table with books scattered and a mirror sat on top of the table. The contrast of the dark silhouette to the white window indicates a darkness and evil to the man's presence. The posture shown in the silhouette is slouched as if the man is depressed and misserable. The clutter on the table conveys a disaster and chaos the man was probably going through in that time of his life. A reflection of the bright window is seen in the mirror into which the man is standing in front of. Blur was used when the long expossure captured the movement of the curtains. Silhouette is the main element used in the photograph that creates focus to the mans disappearing body in the image.

The split lighting on her face shows the two personalities she shows with the different pasrt of her face, one dark and the other bright. A long shadow off of the right side of her body reiterates the darkness of the emotion in her face. The simple background helps keep the focus towards the girls face and emotion.

The image is of a slightly distorted relfetion of a girl with dark hair. She has glasses and long hair she has put up in a pony tail. She is standing in front of a long block building that is in the background. Her eyebrows are slightly raised which conveys her curiousity in her own reflection. Her messy hair continues to add to the abnormallity of the mood in the image. With more than half of her face darkened, a gloomy mood affects the reflection. Reflection is the main element in the photograph aeven though it is a distorted reflection in a dirty mirror. Rule of thirds is seen towards the right side of the image where the girl is staring back at her reflection. The right side of her face contains rim lighting which accentuates only a small portion of her face, leaving the rest of her a dark mystery.

There is girl standing in the middle of a road with her hands in her hair. She has on a dark hoodie and a thick beaded bracelet on her wrist. Her hair is long, straight, and dark and her hands are pulling at strands of her hair. Her fixed eyes make me want to look at what she is looking at. A hint of a pout on her lips give a sense of intensity in her toughts. By having her hands in her hair makes me want to run my own finger through my hair and feel what she is feeling. Her arms create framing that help accentuate her face and keep focus on her emotion. They also create lines that guide the viewres eyes up towards her face. The expansive depth of field allows for background details to be seen adding intrest to the girls surroundings.
