Second photograph is by Steve Mccurry. The most appealing part of this photo is the little girls sad eyes, bringing out lots of emotions in the observer. Dull tones really make the sadness in the girls eyes come out while the colorful dress makes them pop even more, adding the vinjet makes the photo even stronger. The light spreads evenly meaning it was probably a cloudy day making the right conditions for the perfect picture. The little model seems scared and stiff but also tired. The sadness of photo makes the the viewrer feel sorry for the girl.
Next up is a painting by Franoise Nielly. The color palette of this painting is very bright, at the same time the woman's eyes in the painting are in a rather neutral color causing them to stand out. The eyes make you feel as if they were looking right through you causing a powerful emotion within. The light is hitting the model from the right side while the other side of the face is in the shadow balancing out the harsh colors and making it good to look at. The model seems a bit sad but in a rather neutral state.
Considering all the aspects from the previous pictures, here is my attempt to making a good portrait photograph. I enhance the eyes as in all the portraits the eyes were the main focus of the picture. I also tried to make the emotion visible as she looks natural and at ease. The light is smooth and goes together with the models calm vibe. I amped for more neutral tones maybe a bit too neutral but i am actually quite pleased with the end result.
