Final Shot

This is the photo I used for my final shot before I manipulated it. I used it as it was the one that best fit my theme and was creative and original. It is eye catching because the model’s angle of gaze is directly at the camera, which draws in the reader. There is a plain background, so it does take the attention away from her. There is a large amount of space at the top too, allowing room for a large masthead.

Final Shot – Post Edit

This is the photo I used for my final shot after I manipulated it. The picture is brighter and the shadow behind is not as obvious. I did this by changing the levels of light until I was satisfied with how it looked. Once I had manipulated it, she stood out much more against the background and the props were much clearer, making for a suitable magazine cover. I also made it so she is more in the centre of the image by cropping the sides.
