Comments: I am going to be mainly taking photos by chance rather than planning a specific model and scene. This will mean I get much more spontaneous images than will be much more specific and unique for my magazine cover. I will carry my camera around with me the majority of the time and be on the lookout for opportunities to take images to use in compositions on Photoshop as my magazine front cover.
