selection and rejection (Harry Short)

I will probably reject this photo as my front cover photo. This is because there is no mode of direct address and this will not grab any potential readers attention. Also the moon behind the models hat stands out a lot more than i first thought so would direct any attention away from the model. The sunglasses blend in to the dark background which make them less effective as a prop as they are barely visible.

This photo will also be rejected because of the background which is quite noticeable due to the flash of the camera. This photo does use direct address but the sunglasses again blend into the dark background.

This photo is my favourite photo and will most likely be the one i use for my front cover as it uses direct address and the model is posed well enough to go onto a front cover. The moon which stands out behind the models head will be covered by a flash or a puff.

This photo is also a possibility for my front cover as the model is posed towards the right hand third and there is direct address involved as the model is looking down the camera lens. The moon could be covered up with a flash or a pug.

This photo will also be rejected as the background stands out a lot so puts the reader off the model. The model does use direct address but i think the model is too far away from the camera to grab the readers attention.
