My Favorite Cover

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."


It is portrayed that this woman skis, obviously from what she is wearing. You can tell from the expression on her face that she is very serious about it. The title and description underneath help to explain what the story inside is about. In my opinion, I think the photo could contain something more. It is a little boring and an additional element could draw the reader in. That said, this is a good portrait with even lighting with a simple background. I like how everything is in focus since it is simple.
