After researching various magazine front covers I have decided to experiment and take my own. As my magazine is school related I chose to use my niece as she is wearing her school uniform and could help pose for my photographs. These pictures are only taken with a digital camera so the quality is not great but it is part of my planning for when I take then final photographs.
I like the pose in this picture, although it is extremely mediated it creates warmth in the photograph. She appears to have a severe posture so I have helped make her seem curved by taking the photograph slightly side onwards. In order to improve this photograph I will need to take the picture front on, ensure that the lighting is correct as there is too much light reflecting on the paper and her face. It would also help if I dressed her in black so that there are no other distractions in the image and she is the main focus. The background also needs to be a nicer environment perhaps with trees so that yet again she is the main focus. I am quite interested in taking the photograph with the model as the main focus and the background out of focus.
I do not like this photograph as the model looks very serious in this picture and it is not particularly inviting to the reader. Although she is doing her work so it is school related it is not a well mediated image. The lighting is too dark and does not show any emphasis on her. The angle of the camera is looking down on her and should be front on. She also looks very uptight in this photograph and could perhaps benefit from a slightly more casual pose. I would also need to dress her in black and not cotton clothes for this photograph so that she remains the main focus of this photo.
This is similar to the first photograph that I have included in this blog entry. The pose is similar but she is less relaxed and happy in this image. Her posture is more severe and the camera angle is still taken side on. There isn't much light on her so it does not emphasise much detail and the background is a distraction. To improve this photograph, again, I would have to take the photo in a brighter environment with perhaps trees in the background but out of focus so that she remains the main focus. I would also dress her in black again so that she stands out.
