My Favorite Cover

 '
FamilyFun, August 2014, Road Trip
"For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids."
Write a 100-150 word critique of the portrait on the cover.

Mention what is communicated about the people in the portrait and how this is communicated.

You may consider composition, lighting, exposure etc.
This is one of my favorite portraits from the website linked because a lot of emotion and information can be told just from one magazine cover and picture. The main thing that is communicated about the people in the portrait is the happiness in the kid in the picture and the close connection the family has, the picture also communicates that the family loves vacations and adventuring form boredom. Happiness, connection between the family, and the families love for vacation is communicated through the emotion on the boys face, the boy seems happy and adventurous to have fun with his family, the words on the magazine cover also help to communicate the emotions and the families connection by using simple words to depict what the family has and will do. The picture itself has great exposure to lighting, the boys face has a ray of sunshine on it which matched my attention. The props and background also help to allow the viewer to understand the fun this family is having and instill emotion within the picture. Thus, I like this picture because I can relate to it using personal experiences, this picture also accurately captures the emotion and happiness between the family.
