Plan for photos for the contents page

I will take pictures of sixthform students. I will take several pictures and  i will choose which one is suitable for my magazine. I will take the pictures in the music room because I think that would be suitable for my audience. The picture would be of them playing an instrument. It will be portrait and I will take it at a mid-shot angle. I will make sure there is enough space in the picture so I don't have to crop it.
