I chose this as my favorite magazine because its so amazing. Ive never seen a photograph of a baby fetus so clear. It also shows how a mother is so connected to their baby. Their communication is made threw the kicks of the babes little feet. The umbilical cord also demonstrates a form of connection. The picture ties to the Title very well,Because a baby fetus is the very beginning of LIFE. The lighting of the picture is really good considering the circumstances. You can see the baby fetus details like the eyes, little nose, lips, and fingers. The magazine was well composed, but cold use some cover lines.

Fixed Portrait Shoot Submission


ISO 100, Aperture 4.0, 1/100

ISO 400, Aperture 4.0, 1/125

ISO 800, Aperture 4.0, 1/100

ISO 1600, Aperture 4.0, 1/125

ISO 3200,4.0, 1/320

1. The best ISO for my pictures was 800.
2. My next best photo was the picture taken with an ISO of 400.
3. I kinda had equivalent exposure because my 100 was too dark but the others were close.
4.I learned that the position of the person takes away from the picture and i need to make sure my subject is centered.
