Famous Portraits

- Richard Avedon

I chose this photo because it is just so bizarre. The added prop of bees is very strange, and it's even stranger contrasting with the subject's pail skin. The eye contact being made also appears very nonchalant for such a strange looking situation.



- Arnold Newman
I really like this photograph because of the play on lighting and the eye contact pointing away from the lens. It makes Marilyn look very introspective.


- Annie Leibovitz
The subject is in a very unconventional pose in this photo, which makes it intriguing. It implies a very haggard, tired mood. The subject is also looking away from the lens.
