Direct Sunlight
The reason I chose this photo is because it shows a lot of personality. You can see Faye laughing with Farren smiling, her arms crossed. It was captured at the moment, and you can see a story behind the photo. The lighting from the sun was good because it's not too powerful, and it gives a warm feeling, making this photo effective. The background is out of focus, but you can see where they might be. The tall light poles and the building leads to the girls, making it a nice composition. Overall, it's a good photo.
Window Light
The reason I chose this photo is because of the mood/atmosphere it's giving. You can see Marlia up close looking at something other than the camera. She's off-center which makes it appealing. The photo is in B&W so you can focus more on Marlia. The wood also helps because it makes a line to Marlia. Speaking of Marlia, her facial expression is very calm, making the photo mysterious and giving it a story. The lighting is soft, adding to that feeling. And I love the light on her eyes. You can see it sparkling. Overall, it's a cool photo.
Open Shade
The reason I chose this last photo is because of the expression Basma is giving. The photo is taken right at the moment, freezing Basma's facial expression, telling a story. Her expression is very loveable and it's in focus and very clear. The wall in the background gives it a nice frame for Basma. And the exposure in the background is a nice contrast to Basma and is a nice lighting. She is also off-center, too. Overall, it's a fine photo.
Good examples of each of the lighting scenarios. Lovely expressions on people's faces. You've managed to capture great moments. Keep an eye on the details - Basma's hand just peaking through. Farren has a pole coming out of her head and Faye's face is too "hot" meaning the highlight areas are much too bright. Same with Marlia's face - the highlight areas are overly bright. 6/6
