If you have not responded to blog topics 1-5 do so now!!

For topic #5:

1. Look over the above mentioned photographers.
2. Pick an image, and write a short statement about why you think it is a successful image in terms of portraiture
3. Also mention how large format influences its overall structure and feeling (i.e. think about how it might differ as a 35mm, digital, or Medium Format image)
