College magazine photoshot!*

Pictures pretending to the main image for my college magazine.


Yesterday (23rd September) I took a photo shot for my college magazine front cover. I wanted the specific person, so I did it on my spare time. I used my friend which came here all the way from Watton.

I chose everything, what she wears, how she poses, where the photos are taken.

Black and white represents my target audience's favourite colour, also the scarf makes it more natural, real and 'young'. 
The student is wearing student badge as well, which is a good representation of being a member of society, in this case - college.

I have chosen this particular girl because I want my magazine to be different. Less cover lines, more 'alive' thing, more interesting, but at the same time kind of dark and professional. It connotes about college people going from teenage years to adulthood.


Model : Georgia Sidiroglou
I mostly like the green background behind her, also the notebook that she is holding, shows that it is a very beautiful landscape behind her, nice season and the students who love nature, chooses to study outside. 
Also I have chosen these clothes because my target audience is interested in fashion. Small details like a scarf makes it look more professional and more fashionable.

I like the direct gaze. I like that it looks like a freezed moment between her study sessions.

I like that the picture is pretty dark, which makes it different, but you still can see natural, green background and the flower in her hair makes it more 'real'. It seems like the picture is 'breathing' itself. Her gaze to the sideways just looks like she was talking to someone while stopped to have a break between studying. 


This picture looks like a professional model poses for the photo shot for college/fashion magazine. I like the background which is formed from the tree. Nature again. I would just crop the green size and the coat making it look more real.

I like that it looks so real, looks so natural. Just like the model was studying and the picture was made by accident. I do not like the lighting in the picture, it looks a bit too faded, the camera is focused more on her legs that her face. Also the background do not make that big contrast, whereas having the green trees background makes it much better.


Stopped moment in the morning going to the college, that's how it looks. Again, the dark surroundings makes her look more contrasting and catches the eye.
