Finalist
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."
The person photographed was completely who she was (being a skier) which gave a reality to the photo. The background is grey which really brings the subject into focus. The boldness of the photo compliments the competitive nature of the skier. The colors chosen are especially vivid in the photo which is appealing to readers. The contrast from the bright red and the grey background brighten up the picture. The goggles frame the subject's eyes which naturally leads a viewer's attention to the eyes which shows the intense mood of the photo. The text used doesn't give away what the magazine covers, therefore leading people to buy it to find out.
