This cover of People features a black and white photograph of Princess Diana, and the issue is a tribute to her life after she was killed in August 1997 in a car crash. Diana appeared on the cover of the magazine a record 52 times and was one of the most popular People cover subjects. In 1981, she married Prince Charles and arguably became one of the most famous women in the world. She was lauded for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and for an international campaign against landmines. Diana's death was greeted with extraordinary public grief, and her funeral at Westminster Abbey drew an estimated three million mourners in London, as well as worldwide television coverage.
This is such a beautiful magazine cover because it shows Princess Diana's true beauty. This cover also aprart if history because it was the cover of People magazine after her death.

Self Portraits part 2

1 - If you’re taking photos in a studio, use a mannequin for light testing: Much easier than guesstimating!

Get Closer
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.

I like this photo because it shows a man in his environment . and the background is nice.

 i like this photo because its a good self portrait.

i like this photo because it shows a person enjoying their environment  
I like this photo because it doesnt look like she was told how to pose.

i plan on taking pictures of my best friend skylar  because she is would be a great model and she can fit into so many environments. i will mainly be taking pictures in the courtyard and fine arts building because she is a social butterfly and in AHA. I  will take pictures of her from different angles.
