Jerry Avenham

• the lighting in this picture makes the subjects skin more clearer as it is slightly bright around the black shirt.
• The lighting is mostly focused on his arms as his pose is the main part of the photo.
• The position the subject is in is rarely seen on portrait photos this makes the photo interesting to the viewer.

Mark seliger

• The lighting in this picture is on directed onto one half of the subjects face thus making the other half of the subjects face to not be visible.
•  The subject is showing a sort of confused but serious emotion.
• The black and white and half light element shows the subject as being dramatic and serious also highlighting half of the subjects features which would incise the viewer.

Cindy Sherman

• Because the background of this is a dark colour it makes the clothing of the subject brighter and more detailed.
• The subject has got an unusual face that is pulling a unsual expression this is the trademark of this photograpgher.
• Because of the subjects make up her face is the first thing a new viewer would see because of her tone and her expression. 
  

David Bailey

• The subjects postion shows a postion of strength and masculinity. I believe his is posed like this because of his film character James Bond that everyone knows him as.
• The black & white shows Craig's pale white eyes and they look like they are looking straight at you.
• The expression on the subjects face is a serious sort of pout that is the subjects trademark face.
