1. Annie Leibovitz

2. This photo is striking because of
several things:
The first thing that I am drawn to
when I look at this photo is her eyes.
This is because the eyes are at a
direct address. The makeup used
around the eyes also emphasis the
depth within her eyes.
The white on her face stands out
against the black background, as the
colours are contrasting. The white
could represent a mask and that she
is peeling away all the characters
she has played and is about to
reveal her true self. Also the white
shirt which is simple doesn’t draw
away your focus from her face.
This photo has a broad depth of
field as everything in the picture is
in focus.

3. In this photo there are several striking features these include:
Once again I am drawn straight to Leonardo's eyes as they are direct addressing the
audience. This photo has the rule of thirds incorporated as his eyes are at the golden points.
The swan contrasts against his black clothes and the background. Also the swans neck draws
you into Leonardo’s face as it wraps around his neck.
There is some negative space in this photo as Leonardo is placed in the foreground.
The lighting is focused directly on his which creates shadows, contrasting black and white.
Narrow depth of field in this photo blurs out the reefs in the background.

4. This photo is striking because of several features that has been included:
To start with this photo is actually two put together. It shows the two sides to the actress Cate
Blanchett.
The things that draw my attention when I look at these photos are the eyes and mouth as they
are both on the golden points if we use the rule of thirds. The lighting on her face creates dark
contrasting shadows. The whiteness of her eyes stand out against the black background. In the
left photo the photographer has used direct address.
Both photos have a broad depth of field as all the photos are in full focus.

The colours used are bright and effective. It makes the character stand out against the
bland backgrounds.

distance.
None of the clothing used is simple they each tell a story.
Each photo has a broad depth of field.
