1.Which is your favorite portrait photo that you took? Why? 

The favorite photo I took is the one with the Rembrandt lighting because the emotion of the portrait sort of looks sad while sitting there staring at the camera, and the shadow parts of the photo highlights the sadness shown, and also the lighting is unique, and lastly the cropping puts the subject of the portrait in full frame, which draws you into looking at it. 

2.Which of these lighting techniques do you think you can apply for future picture taking? Explain.

I think I could apply all of these lightning techniques, but the one I’d use the most in the future is the split lighting technique. The reason why is it gives off the most ominous vibe of all of the techniques, and is easy as well as unique, making it good to use in a lot of situations.
