I started the shoot

with a red brick

background which I

had initially

envisaged for my

magazine cover. I do

really like this

image but the red I

think would be too

bold for the cover

and the text

wouldn’t stand out

against that

coloured

background and also

because of the linear

detail created by the

This image is rather unsuccessful because it is

both the wrong way round and my model is

squinting. Plus, the shadow created by the sun

doesn’t work as a background very well at all.

I love the expressions made by my model Peda because they

really portray the confusion I was looking for but these both

aren’t great images for a cover due to the fact that there are

two different colours/patterns in the background which are the

red brick and the white concrete. There also part of a sign

overhead in the second image so that photograph wouldn’t be

In this photo I tried

a different pose

with my model and

I think it actually

worked pretty

well but I’m not

too keen on having

a plain white

background. The

wall is also

pretty dirty which

doesn’t look good!

On the other hand I

do like the fact

that this image

works in keeping

with the fact that

the eye naturally

scans a magazine

from the top left

to the bottom

This was another

background I tried

out. I actually

really like the

dark at the

bottom of the

wall and could of

possibly put white

text at the bottom

and the against the

white wall, black

text. I think this is

one of my

favourite shots

but I decided not

to use it in the end

as I preferred a

different wall

background.

I like this background but unfortunately it is

landscape not portrait so I couldn’t really sue it as a

cover. Also the wall isn’t even as in the top left

corner the bricks don’t match. I also think the facial

expression is a little too dramatic!

This photo went completely

wrong as the flash went off by

accident!

I really love this image and I

think the facial expression is

perfect but unfortunately

part of her hand on the left

has been cut off and I’d prefer

it if both hands were seen in

full!

This is the image I have

decided to use for my

school magazine

cover because I love

the colours from the

brick background and

I think that it’ll stand

out but not to

harshly! The linear

pattern from the

bricks also will make

the magazine look

very aligned as the

text will be on the

lines of the bricks. I

also think that my

model Peda’s facial

expression really

conveys the confusion

and frustration I was

looking for!
