The New York Times Magazine, November 24, The Flight Risk
Photographer: Martin Schoeller
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."
My Critique:
I like this portrait cover a lot because I like how the background is plain so that way you can really focus on the subject and the bold colors. The fact that the subject is in her competition gear and the way she looks at the camera goes along with the bold and intense look of the cover. That communicates that the subject is powerful, and the way that the light shines on her and the bold colors are very vibrant add to that. The cover looks very bold due to the way that the subject is fierce her posture is perfect, and the intense look in her eyes.
