Top 100 Photos of All Time
1.) I picked this image because it is the most famous photo of Muhammed Ali, and I think it shows strength and courage.
2.) This photo was taken of Muhammed precisely one minute and 44 seconds into the first round. It was taken after Muhammed Ali had knocked down his opponent and stood over him triumphantly, yelling at him to get up and fight.
3.) Neil Leifer says in his video: I had no idea I had even taken the photo like that. I had no idea he put his arm up like that..." Leifer clearly did not know that his photo would go down in history.

Magazines Part 2
The main attributes to a good magazine cover is many things. Starting off, you need an image that will project confidence and boldness. You also need a magazine that will reach out and grab a reader's attention. Another essential key to magazine covers is purpose. How can you have a magazine without purpose? You can't. The reader needs to be actually interested in the subject and not just see it as another "boring" magazine.
On a magazine, words and pictures are most definitely essential, but each serves a different purpose. The pictures are meant to push and pull people's emotions, while words are used to captivate and draw in. Both together make the ultimate magazine.

My Favorite Cover
My Favorite:
"When shooting Solange Knowles for The FADER, we wanted to reference her timeless songwriting, and emphasize her classic presence in the image. This cover was shot with an Bx 10 View Camera for a simple, timeless vibe, bringing only SO plates of film to capture the perfect shot (compared to a standard 2,000-shot digital sitting). We took many conservative, close up shots of Solange, but still wanted that final, bold image. We chose yellow as the backdrop, because it paired well with the natural lighting from the windows and the contrast of colors in her outfit. Solange stepped onto the apple box herself, and the shot we chose was the very last plate of film."
Description:
In this photo she is portrayed as different. To me she looks as if she is almost thinking about something else, something more serious. She seems as though she wants to focus on anything besides the camera. The back ground is plain so she can be the main subject of the portrait, so that means it is clearly not environmental. She has a casual and quite natural look about her so you can focus more on the main subject, which is her outfit. She looks focused but elegant which really brings the attention around to how pretty and yet somehow graceful her outfit is.
