I originally wanted to take these pictures inside the leisure centre, in the swimming pool. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do this as it wouldn't have been ethically correct, needing permission from people and their families to take their picture.
Therefore, I decided to take a picture in front of the leisure centre's sign, immediately establishing the scene.
The use of M-E-S was essential for this picture. The girl used in the picture is into sports and has won many competitions, therefore, this allowed me to use her medals and meant that she would have the right clothes to wear for readers to believe that she is a swimmer.
We tried a few different poses but decided to go with this one. Although the others follow the typical conventions of newspaper photos i.e. cheesy smile etc, this one clearly shows who, where and what she is/has done.
When showing my first draft of the newspaper, one of the feed back was about this picture; I was told to crop bits out of the photo, such as the vent at the top of the picture- to do this i used photo shop. (on the right is the edited photo)
