This is a portrait photograph done by Steve McCurry. I liked this picture because it tells me a lot about who this little girl is. She looks so happy and excited but then she is dirty and curled up close to herself. I really like the idea of McCurry's photographs, especially about all the ones he took in Africa. We all hear about kids in Africa but he went and photographed them and shows us what they really are and it's really cool.
This is a painting by Davinci. I have always liked this painting ever since I remember seeing it when I was little. just how its a portrait yet it is kind of fading out. I also love the expression on her face. It's gorgeous. She looks so caring looking down at something and she looks so happy. The face is entirely sketched in as the hair and shoulders slowly fade out. I like how this painting is focused and how beautiful it really is.
Looking at portraits done by painting and photography I have gotten some better ideas of how to do my portraits assignment. Hopefully I can get some good portraits that express something about the person and are close enough and are not to dull. After looking at these I'm going to shoot some more tonight and hopefully get some good ones of my family and friends.
