will take place on a
weekend where the
weather be sunny to
ensure my photos have the

reflection for the window

Location recess and design
For the mental health
edition photo shoot I
needed a window that is
exposed to the right angle
for sunlight to reflect the
outdoor surrounding onto
the window which the
model is behind.
This will help represent the
message my product is
trying to tell the readers.
The model behind the
window represents how
young people feel suffering
with mental health issues
in the current pandemic.
The shots will also
represent how women feel
oppressed in the media as
they are frequently mis
and underrepresented.
Next to the window I will For the second edition the
