This picture was taken by Annie Leibovitz. I chose this as one of my three favorite pictures because I feel like it really captures Adele's essence. Her surroundings include a notebook, headphones, and another notebook that she could be writing songs in. The lighting is coming from the side slightly and her pose gives her a sort of stressed out vibe that shows her deep in thought. The photo looks natural, which makes it look less posed and that adds to the overall depth of the photo.
Dorthea Lange took this second photo. This photo is more posed, but I like the effect the black and white adds. Not only is this a cute little kid, but also the color is very flat and gloomy, which helps prove Dorthea's overall point of taking photos during the Great Depression. The black and white helps add the hint towards a depressing time. There is a very soft glow of light slightly illuminating the young boys face, which helps add some highlight in the photo.
This is the last photo I chose taken by Eve Arnold. This is the favorite of all the three photos were a few different reasons. The young girl pictured is looking away from the camera and I like the dark vibes that it gives off. The background is out of focus which helps add a more direct point to show only the girl and her drink. The photo makes this girl seem lonely and sad, and it's nice that the photographer got the point across so easily. The lighting is coming from the side, which makes one side of the girls face very dark, which made her look even more alone.
