Student Magazine: Photography


Photographs are a vital part in ensuring my chosen audience are drawn into reading the magazine. When someone is taking a photo, they need to ensure that they have a good angle, light and framing.

The needs of having a good looking photo on the front cover is important as it is a key focal point in making an audience pick up the magazine. The front photo also gives the audience some impression on who the magazine is aimed at and what it may possibly consist of. The first impression when someone looks at a photograph is the compositional balance: the way things have been placed in the image.

 As a photographer (when coming to put my magazine together) I need to take into account the Mise-en-scene, the background and where the person is or object situated.

 The rule of thirds is used when a photo is taken for the front page of a magazine. The rule of thirds is based on the fact that the human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two thirds up a page. My photo becomes more pleasing to the eye if the main subjects or focal points are in one of the intersection point.

Rule of thirds.
