Photographs for school magazine

I wanted this photo to look like it was a happy environment and also  full of educational things such as the library that is behind her.
I also wanted her to be holding a book so that she looked involved in the school/college life.

This picture is for the editors letters. It is a simple picture of the editor and that is why it is on a plain background, however it is lockers so that is still involved with school life and as the whole magazine is about school/college the background relates to that.

This is a photo for the contents page. It is to go with the story line of reading buddies. That is why i chose to take this photo in the library with students reading as it is what a reading buddy would do. I got an over the shoulder shot to show them in action and so it doesn't look fake and it shows what they are actually doing.
