Magazine Review

Click Magazine- January/ February 2015
The magazine was organized in 4 sections. The first section is the Adore section which showcases things that the magazine people really like. the subhead is designs, finds, and favorites we love. whether it be pictures or equipment, they put things that they really like. there are a lot of cool ads showing other really cool deals whether it be albums, prints, or camera equipment.
the second section is the Become section. this gives you tips and tricks and shows how certain photographers got the effect that they did.
the third section is the Tools & Trimming section showing how to set up shots and the gear that they used.
the last section is the cover story.

i really like this magazine. the tips and tricks that photographers told about how they edited their photos and the equipment was really cool. i would definitely subscribe to this magazine. i really like the way that they split up the magazine and what they put in those sections. I really liked the ads because they were placed in a way that was not annoying and actually had cool products.

my favorite section was the become section. my favorite article of that section was Reveal Your Self in the find your style part of the become section. This is something that applies to all new photographers about how to use influences but still find your own style and how that is important.

favorite photo

The photographer is Erin Southwell and she is an award winning children's photographer. She focuses mainly on her own children. she emphasizes on nature, seasons, and creation through the eyes of her children. This picture was shot using a Canon EOS 5d with Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, 1/400, ISO 400. i feel that this is a very powerful photo with the positioning of the father and his children.

Paper

Paper thickness, opacity, brilliance, and finish.
TAPPI brightness- ultra-violet light component of TAPPI brightness is the lowest of any standard. light hits the sample form only 1 particular angle. North American standard. quantifies the brightness of paper as it would be perceived in an environment that is illuminated with a mixture of cool-white fluorescence and some filtered daylight.

ISO brightness- European standard. quantifies the brightness of paper as it would be perceived in an environment that is illuminated with a mixture of cool-white fluorescence and some unfiltered daylight. fluorescence present in a paper sample, which can provide a significant contribution to brightness, will be stimulated more using the ISO standard versus TAPPI. higher brightness versus TAPPI for the same paper.

Senior Portrait Magazine

Story Title: Documenting Memories

Subhead- In one last photoshoot, Seniors Paige Meyer and Rachel Johnson get ready for the end of their senior year. 

Posing for the camera, senior Rachel Johnson enjoys her senior portrait shoot. Johnson was eager to document the way she looked as senior to preserve the memories. 

Sitting in a tunnel, senior Rachel Johnson smiles for the camera. Johnson made her decision to attend Texas State in the fall of 2015. 

Flashing a smile, senior Rachel Johnson strikes a pose. Johnson participated in a group senior shoot with friends. 

Staring intently into the camera, senior Paige Meyer poses for a senior portrait. With the help of Meyer's mom, a gold tinted reflector was used to illuminate Meyer's face. 

Being illuminated by natural light, Paige Meyer poses in a tunnel for her portrait to be taken. Meyer's photo was taken using a 85mm lens. 

With a smile on her face, senior Paige Meyer wears her St. Mary's University shirt with pride. Meyer committed to play soccer for the Rattlers in the fall.

Warm Up Delicious

http://petapixel.com/2015/03/02/photographer-captures-male-entitlement-feels-like-to-women-who-experience-it/

The website i looked at contain photographs showing what male entitlement feels like to women. The photos express what it feels like on the inside and what it is that women feel and others don't see. The photographer wanted to show her interpretation of conversations that she had with women, that the oppression of women can be felt in day to day activities.

I learned that you can tell almost any story with photographs whether they are realistic or just a version of what someone sees in their head.  You can portray what you see with your eyes or you can show what you see with your mind.

I picked this photo because of course you wouldn't see this in someone's office. but this may be what it feels like to certain women. This is such a powerful photo because like the photographer said on the website, the woman has a blank face because as women, we are forced to handle oppression with acceptance that nothing is wrong with it.
This photo exhibits rule of thirds and also balancing with the computer filling the other end of the picture. There is also framing with the two white panes on either side of her face.

I love this picture as well because it shows how it feels to wear a short dress. Her legs are such a focal point to men and they are so exposed in the dress she is wearing. And she is just looking the other way showing no expression like it is normal to be scrutinized.
This photo exhibits rule of thirds. repetition. a little bit of leading lines with the bottles.
