My Favorite Cover

ESPN The Magazine, September 16, Floyd Mayweather in The Fight Issue

"Benjamin Lowy’s photograph of Floyd Mayweather wasn’t intended to be a cover; he took this shot for what we call a “technique shot.” Yet when we saw the defending champ demonstrating his famous shoulder roll, we knew it had to be the cover of our Fight Issue, one with profiles and separate covers of Mayweather and his opponent Canelo Alvarez. We decided to go with a bright white background—a rarity for The Magazine—to contrast the fighter’s dark skin, showing off the beads of sweat on his forehead and intense concentration in his eyes. We offer this cover as an athlete who is the embodiment of his craft in a rare moment when boxing rose to the top of the sports conversation."
 

What ESPN was trying to communicate with the readers by just looking at the cover was what Floyd Mayweather was famous for, his shoulder roll. You can see the champ dodging a punch and by the lighting you can tell that it is really serious. You can see that his sweat sticks out showing that he is working really hard to win. This picture is a really good environmental picture because of the way that Mayweathers body and facial expression are positioned. With he way that he isn't even looking at the camera or positioned for a picture really emphasizes the photo a lot.

portraits from articles

1.However, taking self-portraits has several advantages: you'll always have a willing subject, and you may be able to interpret the "real you" better than others can. 
2.A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life.
3.Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.
ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS 

I chose these photos because you can see what these people do and where they do it. You don't need a whole lot of background information to know what these people do.








SELF PORTRAITS 

I chose these photos because these people used a creative way to express themselves. They used a reflection.












CASUAL PORTRAIT

I chose these photos because you can tell a lot just by their expression. These people both have different expressions which gives the picture life.
