'Jack Nicholson' - David Bailey
In this image David has used low key lighting. Personally, I think he has chosen to use this lighting technique to emphasise the frown and the veins in the forehead. In my opinion, the expression made screams pain and sadness, mentally. This is because his eyes are very dark, almost to dark to see. Also the expression is almost mimicking the face in which we make when we cry. However, his mouth seems angry to me. Covering the eyes and forehead and just looking t the mouth, it clear that the lighting impacted the feel of this images enormously.

'Gabby Douglas' - Brian Duffy
The overall feel of this image is very mixed to me. While showing the beauty of gymnastics in her very slick hair and neutral make-up, yet still showing the hard work with the tape on her wrists. I think the lighting composition for this image is very focused on the front/left side of her. This is due to the contrast on the majority of the right side of her body. Although the lighting doesn't seem to make a bigger impact as the last image, I'm sure it wouldn't have the same end result if set up differently.

This images give a very high end type of feel personally. This particular pose is very popular with the higher-end brands. I almost gives a very effortless glamorous feel to the image. The lighting is all around however, is brighter on the right side of the model, which is creating the shadow on the left hand side.
Steven Meisel:

Personally, I find this image simply stunning. The only thing I'm sure about I that the light source is located on the light. Illuminating the face and hands. Then little to no light on the left hand side of her. As far as the mood of the image, I'm not sure. All I feel when looking at this image is a sense of warmth. All I can think is 'wow'. Simply stunning.
David Greensmith:
- Received first camera at 7
- Attended air shows
- Editorial photography
Unfortunately, I was unable to find any more information about David Greensmith however, I did contact him.
I like this image as it hits the nail on the head when it comes with the target audience. The target audience of this image is people who love to travel. I also like the whole bohemian vibe. From the clothes to the head accessories to even the location. It looks very tropical which is always appealing to people who travel. I also like that the background is a clean white. This encourages the colours of the clothing and accessories to really pop. I also like how he used two models instead of one, really taking advantage of all the beautiful space available whilst still interacting with one another.
