Front cover Shoot 1Best 5

Ka-Leel Smith

I chose this photo because I like the positioning of the photo, and the way the model is standing. The photo shows the entire outfit of the model making it fit. The background of the bricks gives it a nice uniform feel to it. I think the red in the BG contrasts nicely with the image. The photo however is blurry.

I chose this one because the model is centered. He is also giving direct address to the camera. The image helps show where youth hang out and conveys my theme of being young. The red bgalso again contrasts with the clothing of the model and helps to highlight him.

I chose this photo because I like the framing of it. I think that out of all the photos in this set this one is framed the best. The photo itself has a nice head on angle. I like that there is no shadows on the wall. The bg helps to compliment the model and make his clothing stand out. I also like that the facial expression helps to convey a happy teen.

I like that this photo has good framing. The model is completely centered. The bgof the model helps to make the model stand out. And the lighting has a nice ambient feel. The pose looks really casual and helps to convey how a normal teen would be.

I chose this image because of the canted angle on it. I feel that it gives a really radical feel, and helps to convey a young spirit. The facial expression of the model also shows a happy teen. The bg helps the model to stand out. The photo fulfils my intentions fully though as the pose looks cool and calm, the angle creates a sense of chaos, and the bg helps the model to stand out.
