Famous Portraits

This photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz. I love this photo because you can see the pure joy in the face of the subject; she is obviously doing something she loves. I also love this photo because it is something very unusual - who rides a bike with their feet on the handles? It shows the subject in a work suit, which creates a sort of story to go with the picture. 

This image was taken by Arnold Newman. It shows our former president in his oval office, where he is comfortable. This photo doesn't look extremely posed, as it looks like he is getting out of his chair. This photo shows the president as a happy, confident person. 

This portrait is by Richard Avedon. I think that this portrait shows a lot of different portrait techniques. This shows a very different perspective than the usual viewpoint; you can see the ground and the subjects' roller blades. Another technique he uses in this photo is eye contact within the shot.
