Image 1- This image portrays a sense of power and authority. I feel this also gives off a sense of pride because of the two american flags in the background. I feel the sense of power and authority comes from how the subject is standing, this stance is normally seen when you are taking a portrait of a director or owner of a company. I feel that the stance of the subject and the environment of where this portrait has been shot suits what this image is supposed to comunicate.
"Along the lines of defining your purpose, you must evaluate why you’re outside, what it adds to the portrait and how to best capture it. In this photo of someone working out, a full body portrait makes the most sense to convey the health & fitness message being sent."

Image 2- A portrait like this is commonly found in a fashion magazine or sources like that. I have the feeling of this because of a number of factors and these are.
1. The highlights which you can see on the subjects hair is there to show details in the hair which interlinks with my first thought of it being something to do with beauty or fashion.
2. With the subjects hand being posed like it is gives the sense of seduction. Also with the subjects clothes slipping off her shoulder also backs up my feeling on the sense of what this is trying to communicate which I feel is the sense of seduction.
Image 3- What I feel this is trying to communicate is the feeling of commitment and devotion to the subject winning. With the obvious blood marks on the subjects head and the hand gives the sense that the subject maybe in a position where they might not be winning. With the subjects face being full of anger and that he looks like he is shouting also makes me feel that there is an element of pain in this image.
Image 4- I feel this is a natural lighten shot or a single light set up. I feel that the author of this image has tried to communicate the sense of disappointment or heartache. I feel it has been put in monochrome to enhance the masculine subject and the details of the arm, face and hair. With the subject holding the white object in his hand balances the image perfectly. I feel that the story behind this image is that the subject has just lost someone he loves and that by holding what I feel is a piece of their clothing in his hand and is reflecting on the good times.
Overall I feel that by myself breaking down the images to see what the author is trying to communicate and what lighting set up they have used will give me a better understanding on how portrait photography is changing all the time, and will keep me up to date with any changes to industry standards.
