Master Photographers

We had to choose a photographer that we liked and had to write about the photograph and how they use elements of photography in their photographs.

Marilyn Manroe Imitated. Photograph taken by Cecil Beaton, Taken in mid 1930's. This photograph is of the famous Marilyn Manroe. This uses framing and also uses the rule of thirds. This photo uses black and white and gets contrasted by the photo of the Asia woman in the back which is black, also by the rose that is on her chest that is black. The subject is looking directly into the camera. This gives it a good affect I think because she is also happy, but has a bit of a strange face on so maybe more of a fake smile. I love Marilyn Manroe that's why i adore this photo because she has written most of my favorite quotes. Marilyn pulls you directly into her thoughts and makes you want to think about whats wrong with her.
