FamilyFun, August 2014, Road Trip
"For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids."

I see mainly just the boy in the image, showing that the photographer had a simplicity going. The exposure in this image was really well prepared, because the photographer used the natural lighting from the outside to light up little Isaac's face. The image also goes along with the topic of the magazine article because he looks like he's having lots of fun and a family road trip, where he is in a corner store having their famous burgers and an authentic blue soda bottle. I think the image could be a little stronger if there was another person he could be smiling and laughing with. Having only Isaac in the picture does bring happiness but I think it can also make a family trip have less of a feeling of a fun, family event.
