Photo

These are a few of the photos i have taken for my magazine cover, I took a the photos of Joe and decided to use the one on the left for a number of reasons, firstly my headline is going to be about the boy who has said yes to knife crime, so I wanted the photo to look quite serious, and for the model to be looking really angry and mean, as if you wouldn't ever want to mess with this man. I think I achieved the desired effect, which I am pleased about. I also made sure I have a plain white background, as it makes Joe stand out more, and you are not distracted by anything going on in the background. Another reason for choosing this shot was because of the positioning, luckily Joe is centered right in the middle of the photo, which is just what i wanted. I decided against the photo on the right for many reasons, firstly Joe is not centered in the shot, he is standing to one side, unfortunately this really doesn't work and doesn't match the look I was going for. Also the pose that Joe is doing isn't right for the headline, he just doesn't look at all angry or mean. I am pleased with these photos and I think the one i have decided to choose will work well for my magazine.
