National Geographic magazine cover



#10 National Geographic (June 1985)
Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border on this magazine cover. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world.
i this photograph because its like the perfect photo her eyes are super pretty and it shows her emotions you can see her emotion in her eyes it looks like shes in fear and it really nice lighting and the colors she is wearing and kinda making the photo look nice but other than that i really like this photo !

Magazine Cover Introduction:

  1. Never trim a printout, mount it beautifully, and display it with its alternates on the finely polished surface of the conference-room table. 
  2. print out all the alternates as hard copy, trim them accurately to magazine size and glue them onto old issues 
  3. If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it 
  4. gather copies of what your targets might be reading, including your competition, of course. Mock up an executive’s in-box or tabletop arrangement in some way, and place yours among them
  5. Emotionally irresistible

Lytro Warm-up

  1. What i saw happen was the subject changing on the part that looked blurry in the photo 
  2. by also focusing on the other subject on a blurry part in the photo 
  3. something the photographer might wanna know is to keep the same aperture and iso for each subject hes going to shoot
  4. to be honest i do think this product is worth money because you can change the subects in the photos and it something you can play with so i think it really cool !

3. Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait
  1. Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.
2. Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.   


for my assignment my model is going to Michelle and i was thinking to go to the mini forest here at school or the stage . i will try to make my photos successful by having good rules

Portraits and Self-Portraits
