famous portraits

Walde Huth.
This photograph's lighting and dramatic contrast from the dark and detailed steps in the foreground to the washed-out Eiffel Tower, a banal subject for photographers for decades, makes it a good quality image.
Joe McNally.
Joe McNally positioned himself in such a way that the eye is drawn through the photo from top to bottom. The angle is fantastic, and the overexposed foreground is interesting while eliminating it as a major point of distraction from the man and the sky.

While appealing would be an interesting choice of words for this portrait, the use of such subject matter is so ironic it makes it impossible to look away; where other photographers shoot for the most graceful ballet pose, McNally shows a glimpse of a completely different side of the job.
Joe Buissink.
The unique pose of the bride and the intregration of the rule of thirds make this portrait both interesting and appealing.

Edward Curtis.
This picture is appealing because of the dramatic lighting surrounding the subject, and the amount of detail on the horse and Native American which drops off at the edge of the lake.

Irving Penn.
This photograph's dramatic lighting emphasizes the man's intense expression.
Irving Penn.
This image is both interesting and appealing because of the way Irving Penn focused his camera: on the bottle in the foreground instead of the (seemingly more important) woman in the background. Her elegant pose but hidden identity really make this photograph, as does the fact that the area behind the woman's head isn't pure white, but a range of colors.
Norman Parkinson.
The facial expressions of these women really draw the viewer in, making this intimate scene seem almost familiar. Rule of thirds makes the image more interesting.
Norman Parkinson.
The women in this photo are posed in an interesting way, and the loss of detail because it was overexposed in order to capture only their silhouettes is intruiging. The framing technique increases visual appeal.
Norman Parkinson.
The lighting in this photograph immediately draws your eye to the window, and then your eye follows the path of the dress into the background. Ultimately, this is a very interesting photograph because of the light streaming through the window, and the way it hits the bride.
