Out of my photo shoot for the main image of my magazine, I chose the above image after changing my mind quite a lot and editing a lot of images to see which one looked the most professional and worked better all round. Drawing inspiration from the Film Comment magazines, I noticed that they near enough always use a main protagonist from the film to feature as their main image and so i wanted to do this to reflect the composition and style of the magazine. As this image is landscape it needed to be cropped in some way in order to fit and look effective as a magazine cover and so this was the first step that I took. Originally I was considering this photograph for my poster and that's why I had taken the image landscape. I really liked the colouring already, how Holly is silhouetted with a kind of clinical back lighting and so after i had cropped the image, I increased the brightness/contrast and adjusted the curves until it was how I felt it looked best. Overall I liked the simplicity of the image, however it still grabs your attention with mystery wondering who the girl in the photograph is.
