Kevin Spacey
by Chris Crisman
In this photography Spacey is facing both the lighting and the artist, Crisman. There is lighting evidence because the only part of Kevin's face that is not darkened is the very front. This photo of Spacey is very posed, his pensive hand position in front of his mouth carefully crafted in a studio on a dark background. The photographer, Crisman, is very close because not all of Spacey's body is in view. The darkness and pensive look of the model make the photograph intriguing and serious. Makes the beholder wonder what exactly inspired this pensive look.

Horse Training for the Militia
by Eve Arnold
The shot was taken facing the woman and her horse, instead of being behind the horse or behind the woman. In her pink outfit, the woman lies with her horse, gently stroking it. Horses never lay down, even to sleep, so she is most likely comforting her animal friend as he or she passes. She does so in the midst of a large, grassy field. The lighting also spreads evenly throughout the piece, and most likely came from behind the camera. The photographer is not right in the face of the two, but they are far enough away to include all of the horse and the woman. Eve Arnold creates a mood of warmth and kindness. Even without the knowledge of horse behavior, an admirer of the work can clearly see the compassion and the strength of the relationship between mankind and their four-legged
friends.

Marilyn Monroe
by Elliot Erwitt
In this photo by Elliot Erwitt the subject, Marilyn Monroe, is looking off into the distance with a book in her hand and a questionable hand gesture. As for where the photo is set, that's unclear. Perhaps an office because of the appearance of what looks to be a desk. It is hard to tell whether her hand on her forehead is a sign of stress or something more light-hearted because her hand covers most of her lips. But, from can be seen it seems like a smile. As an icon of her time, Monroe lit up every room she was in and spread her infectious mood. This creates a joyous mood, but also a questionable one. Marilyn may look happy, but it is hard to tell what about, adding a pensive and thought-provoking element to the photograph. The photograph was taken from Monroe's right side, but her body is turned so that her face is captured in the photo. The lighting is coming from in front of Monroe, which explains why the inside of her book is dark and her face and chest are well lit. In addition, the photo was taken up close to add to the intimacy of the subject and situation.
