This document discusses several photographs being considered for a fashion magazine spread with the theme of summer. The first photo is not appropriate as the clothes are not the main focus. The second photo is an action shot but when enlarged, the model is out of focus. The third photo is the right distance and in focus but was taken in portrait orientation instead of landscape. The fourth photo does not represent summer as it is too dark. The fifth and chosen photo clearly conveys the summer theme with a sunny day and green surroundings, and maintains focus when enlarged for a professional look.

1. Photograph selection scooter

2. I like this photograph as the distance between the subject and the camera is ideal,
however, it is supposed to be a fashion spread and the clothes are not the main
focus of the image therefore it is not appropriate.

3. This image looks great as it is an action
shot which I captured by having a very
fast shutter speed and putting the settings
onto continuous shooting. However, when
enlarging the image, the model is not in
focus therefore it does not look very
professional.

4. This was another option for my fashion
spread as the model is a good distance
away from the camera and is in focus
however, I took this photo portraiture
instead of landscape meaning that I could
not use it as I already had 2 portraiture
images on my fashion spreads.

5. This photo was another option for my fashion
spread but there are many reasons of which it is
not appropriate. Although the image is in focus,
the aperture looks very good and the angle is
ideal, the theme for my magazine is summer and
this image clearly does not represent that as it is
pitch black, also the photograph is portraiture
and I needed a landscape image for this fashion
spread.

6. I decided to choose this image for my magazine fashion spread picture for many
reasons. Firstly, I believe the theme of the fashion spread is clear via this image
as it is clearly a sunny day and all the green in the mise en scene reflect the
summer theme. When enlarging the image for my fashion spread, the subject
was still in focus as was the background which combine to give a very
professional look.
