Gordon Sparks (fav. picture)
My favorite photo by Gordon Sparks will have to be:
Ingrid Bergman at Stromboli taken in 1949
the reason i like this photograph is because it tells a story
the way she looks back at them like she was alone
shes not really filling up the frame but the backround on
it gives a good effect. The lighting is ok shes kinda in the shade and
the other ladies are in the dark like if she was hidding. I really
liked this picture ALOT.

FAVORITE::
#2 Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair’s provocative cover shot of the naked and hugely pregnant Demi Moore (also shot by Annie Leibovitz) projected the actress to even greater heights after the huge success of the movie Ghost the previous year. The cover helped firmly establish Moore as a member of Hollywood’s A-List at the time.
My critique:
My opinion on this magazine cover is that it expresses alot of things like not only because Demi is from the movie Ghost. Her Composition on the cover is serious and hopeful the lighting is really good because its comin from where she is lookin at like theres something there! As it goes down the lighting fades away and it gives the picture a good look! The expression on her face and the way she's holding her stomach catches your eye.

Cover History
1. Early Magazine Covers
2. The Poster Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In the Forest of Words
The early Magazine Covers were kind blank with no colors in it just black and white. As the time went by they had the Poster Cover where it was just like a Poster just a picture not alot of the Magazines had words in the front just a plain picture. After, the words came up and it went with the picture like for ex. a picture of a baby and it said "tips on how to make your baby happy" as the title explains it all Pictures Married to Type. Then, the words went from ok to WOAH when they just put too many words in the cover the picture was hard to make standout when it is barried under so much words we call it In the Forest of Words.

Arnold Newman (portrait ideas)
Arnold Newman's picture Grandma Moses really cought my eye because it looks misterious and it seems like there is a story in it when i saw it i thought "why is she alone? does she have a husband?" and all kinds of questions so i really liked this picture. Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses) primitive painter, Eagle Bridge, token in New York in the year of 1949.
