Prepairing the front cover image

I chose image 4 for the cover photo:

I made sure I took the photo at a mid shot and a mid angle, I wanted the viewers to feel like the picture was inviting and realistic, rather than a birds eye view.  I asked Sereena to smile and look relaxed as I thought It cold make the photo look more natural.



I went on to edit this photo:

I edited the photo in photo shop, I brightened the back group as I thought it would make her stand out more, I also changed the colour of her eyes as I thought this may draw in the viewers attention more. I also removed blemishes using the smoothing tool.
