Planning : Photography for Magazine Cover

My plan for my image on the magazine cover is to have the student left of frame therefore I can allow writing and buzz words to be displayed on the right of the magazine cover. The shot will be a medium close up shot, therefore it is simple but however shows enough of the student, such as their clothes and what their holding.

I would prefer my student to be wearing a smart casual outfit, such as a buttoned up shirt with jeans, therefore this implies that the student has the right motivation to learn but can also do it comfortably. the props I will bring for them to hold will be a pen and a notepad, and I shall have them with their body language facing towards the book s writing, however the eyes towards the camera. I feel this will be effective as it will show the student actually working.

The background of the photo shall be kept very muted and understated so therefore the focus will not be taken off the student, and will also not imply that the student has distractions around them whilst working.
