All three photos are from Steve McCurry. The light is all natural, and the positioning is also all natural. Each subject is looking directly into the camera. The background is wherever they were in the moment in their hometown. The expressions are very serious.
In Class Portraits
In the Main Photograph (top-left), only one diffused studio light was used with a reflector. The lighting came from Abby's left and above. It hits her face easily, and doesn't create any drastic shadows. This photo is a candid, therefore she is leaning forward laughing in a natural position. Her head is facing the right of the camera, and the photograph is a headshot. The horizontal photo was taken straight on from less than one feet away. This photograph in particular has a light-hearted mood, and expresses Abby's personality through her friendliness. This photo is dramatically different from the wolf photo. This photo was taken in natural lighting, and has a much more humorous touch to it. The props and the position of Grace allows for this expression to come across.

The first image, is my dear friend Abby Mattos on top of a dandelion. The second image is Madison from Painting with Light, and a portrait of her. The silhouette is set up to look like someone is behind her.
