A selection of photos for my college magazine

•I decided not to use the first picture because the model is too central
so it would not follow the conventions as easily as one that was more
to the right.
•In the second photo the model is too far away so you can’t really see
him and there is too much going on in the background i.e. The trees
and the school, so writing would be hard to read over it.
•The last photo is too over exposed so the colours are too bright So I
decided not to use that one because it doesn’t look as professional.

These are a selection of photos that I thought would be best for the
magazine.
•After much consideration I chose to use the first one. This is because
the model fills up a good amount of the picture so there isn’t too
much empty space and it uses the rule of thirds so it complies with
the functions of a magazine. i.e. Cover lines in the left third etc. He
also looks smart so he would represent the college well
•I decided against the third one as the model is pulling an odd face and
the wind is blowing his hair so it looks scruffy. However this also
follows the rule of thirds and he is standing in a good position.
•I liked the second one because the background is plain which means
text will be easy to read over is and also it matches what the model is
wearing so it is pleasing to look at. However he is a bit low down in
the photo so there is too much of a gap above his head.
