2. Brief
To take 10+ pictures of one thing for
client.
Edit four of these on photoshop using 4
editing skills.
3. Client
Im going to use or submit my pictures
for a travel or tourist guide at a travel
agency or tourist centre which could be
in the UK or in spain.
5. Resources
Im using a Fuji-film FinePix J150w
to take my pictures.
Adobe photoshop CS5.1 to edit them
and a mac book to do this on.
I also used a toshiba to organise the
pictures and select my favourites.
6. Planning shoot
My plan-
Too take pictures of Menorca in Spain
and sell them to or get them included in
a travel / tourist guide.
7. Legal & Ethical
Any pictures of people & business's
would really be the only issue.
To sort this i would get permission from
whom it involves.
8. Freelance rates
Freelance rates vary but from the between
£20 & £50 would be average.
Due to going to spain i think i could add travel
expenses' to this. Around £30-£100 and the
same for a return. Per night on average it
would £50 a night.
9. Health and safety
Alot of the pictures i took involved
standing on rocks Also standing over
water could which could result in injury.
To resolve this i would- Wear grippy
either rock climbing / sports shoes, use a
wrist strap as to not loose the camera
and overall just be careful.
12. Composition sheet
I this is my best
composed picture,
this works well
with the rock wall
and boats along
the top. The
water in front
adds a point of
focus which
draws you too the
top of the picture.
13. Focus sheet
I used this picture
as the rocks along
the side of the
picture are mainly
out of focus but the
water still looks
along and adds
contrast between
the two.
14. Lighting sheet
The lighting
going through the
ripples looks good
and adds realism
too the water
which is effective
and works well.
The fact the
water is clear also
is good as adds
depth.
15. Photoshop 1
With this picture i- Used ‘channel mixer’ to add
colour, set the vibrance to full and reduced the
saturation. To add sunset esk lighting as i felt it
would be appealing to the client.
Before After
16. Photoshop 2
With this picture i- Used the magic wand tool too
select the sea and used ‘colour balance’ too give it a
blue tint which make the water look slightly
artificial but inviting at the same time.
Before After
17. Photoshop 3With this picture I- Used the black and white tool to
add depth of field and too give it a vintage / ‘old
school’ look which i think works well with the
picture.
Before After
18. Photoshop 4
With this picture I- used contrast, saturation and
exposure to bring warmth to bring out the
Mediterranean / summer feel that is already there.
Before After
19. Strengths and weaknesses
Overall i was happy with my shoot, i
thought i took some strong pictures.
But would use a better camera next
time if i could as alot of the pictures look
grainy and are not lit well.
20. Professional comparison
These pictures from various holiday websites for
menorca look far stronger and more appealing
than mine. But they’re clearly taken on a much
better camera and are of more interesting and
vast locations on the island
21. Fitness for purpose
My pictures would work for a travel
agency or tourist guide too show off the
island. But maybe a more localised or
informal one rather than ‘Thompson’
for example as although the pictures are
good they aren’t as mind blowing as
others i saw advertising the island
previously.
