Photographs

Photographs For Cover.

For the cover of my magazine, I decided that I would take a picture of my friend Sophie, posing as a student to represent the other students reading, and would suit both audiences of the students and teachers. She was dressed as she normally would, as that is how students at the college dress as their is no uniform, and held a book and pencil in her hand as though she was revising, again for representation to the student readers.
The shot that I decided upon for the cover was the mid shot, as it was close enough to pick out the main features of the subject in the photograph, and yet not too close to divert attention from the image as a whole and lose its purpose.
After the planning stage of the photograph itself, I now needed to take the picture. I decided to take three pictures, and then choose from the three which one I thought was the right one for the cover.

Final Image.

This is the photograph that I selected to use as my final one, as I thought that it was a clear picture, accurately taken as a mid shot, and had the right features of the chosen shot to carry off the needed effect for the magazine.
The picture was taken just above Sophie's elbow, as a mid shot, and had just enough space above her head to comfortablly fit her into the picture without cutting any of her body off that should not have been. The angle the picture was taken from was also suitable for the photograph, as it was straight on, and the quality of the picture was clear to the reader.

Spare Photographs.

The next two pictures are the spare photographs which I decided not to use for my magazine, as they were not the right type of shot that I required, they did not have enough visual quality for the cover to the reader, and had either too much or not enough space around the photograph to comfortably fit Sophie's body into the picture.
