"For this exercise choose either the still life approach or a larger scale shot. If the former, take any book you like and make a suitable cover illustration using two or three relevant elements. If the latter, photograph someone with a possession, or the results of their work or hobby."
I have chosen to make a cover illustration of 'Handle with care' by Jodi Picoult.
Synopsis taken from http://www.jodipicoult.com/handle-with-care.html
When Charlotte and Sean O’Keefe’s daughter, Willow, is born with severe osteogenesis imperfecta, they are devastated – she will suffer hundreds of broken bones as she grows, a lifetime of pain.
To show how fragile 'Willow's' bones are I created the cover below.
1/320 f4.8 ISO 2500 42mm -1.0
I am really happy with how this came out and think that it links to the book well. I have to say that I did my usual in keeping the camera on the last ISO setting I had used. I had got much better at checking everything before hand but obviously this time I have slipped back into old habits. I think that it is my eagerness to get cracking on a project that distracts me from concentrating properly on what I should be doing. There is no real excuse for it at this stage in the course though!
