I chose this image for an example because of the use of natural backdrop, the way the background blurs makes the viewer focus more on the woman.

I chose this photo because it is a great example of a studio portrait with the white background of the photograph.

I Chose this one because it is another good example of  studio photography for example the white background makes the models dark hair stand out and the waves in it shine due to the fact its the only dark colour.

I chose this photograph because I think the background is an interesting choice, the way the primary focus of the photo is the back of the girls head however we can see her slightly reflected in the mirror, although she is blurred which adds to the focus of the plait down the middle of her back.
