Ké Apo

Photo's to consider... Front Cover

This unbalanced, angled shot was a trick to the eye - with the horizon off balance with the rock in which i took the photo off. The beach background and surfer aesthetic fits with the travel and fashion theme, with surfing being a great contending holiday. However, the tilt does not fit the criteria for a front cover image, and personally i feel the medium-long shot of the model is too far away for a front cover, especially a first edition. 

This is a closer up, medium close shot of the model, a better contender for a front cover image with the facial features being more identifiable when up-close. The slight smile in the model's face makes for a natural image, along with the wet hair ad surf board making up the components of a relaxed, beach photo. This photo on the other hand doesn't convey any of the criteria's i would want on a front cover of Ké Apo, as the magazine is focusing on body positivity and the natural, realistic image of models. Although this model does look extremely natural, with no costume except the wet suit, it doesn't express any powerful connotations that i feel a first edition would need.

Photo's to consider... Contents + Website

 This photo would be considered for contents page or the website, with the Hawaiian shirt contributing to the summer edition of the 1st magazine. The breaking of conventions works nicely with the eyes glancing to the right, with the cheeky smirk on the model's face reinforcing the happy, relaxed atmosphere of Ké Apo. 

This side shot, right center-frame photo of Yellowbelly Pizza ties with the travel/tourism genre of my magazine, with recommendations for food and drink being one of my tasks when getting shots. This is in my local town, however it's aesthetic rather looks more foreign than local - maybe in the streets of Italy. Other shot's that i shall be getting in the future is maybe ice cream shots at the local ice cream parlor, or cocktails from the local pub, taken in the beer garden on a bright (holiday esc. weather) day. 

These are great travel shots i got when in Bavaria, Skiing. I love the mountain range in the background - this ties in wonderfully with my travel magazine, this could be used for my contents either as a background or collaged together with other mountain-range shots i got up at the resort. These and other landscape shots could further be used for my website, again either collaged or used on a sliding frame at the top of the website, rotating through different landscape shots.
Both the shots would fit nicely with either edition, August or September, as they can be used as winter get-away shots, or just alternative holidays than one's most popular on the beach. Shots i missed out on however when there were action shots of people skiing and snowboarding - however my magazine isn't sport-based so it may not have fit the genre.
