This is to evidence my work from the photo shoot for my double page spread

Evidence Of Photo Shoot

2. Some Pictures I Didn’t Use
I didn’t use this picture, simply because I didn’t want the
readers to confuse this shoot for a fashion magazine, which the
thought may be perceived from the reader as my model is
playing with her hair. I wanted this picture to look more genuine
and though this picture looked to posed and unnatural. Also, I
do not like the way she is stood as it looks forced and maybe a
bit uncomfortable and her arm sticking out doesn’t look
professional. I did like the thought of this idea but in the end, I
had other pictures that may appeal more to the target
audience, as I thought this photo looked too childish. The use
of the guitar was a better match for my model as it made her
look more of a music artist and made the genre pf magazine
more clear.
I liked this photo but there were some issues that raised. The
first problem I had was the lighting in the sot. I did not like the
lighting as I found it was too bright and struggled to see her
facial expression. I could of changed the lighting on Photoshop,
but there were other original images I took that I preferred over
this any ay so it wasn’t much of a big issue. Also, I believe that
the camera angle isn’t straight, which makes the picture look
lopsided. This may confuse the reader. I wasn’t too keen on my
models facial expression in this shot as I personally think, it
makes her look clumsy, which a singer in the number one charts
wouldn’t look. Her stance also doesn’t have the chic feminine
look was wanting which changed my mind about using this
picture, as I want to appeal my magazine to a female audience.

3. Before Shooting
Before shooting the pictures, there were some small jobs I had to
do, such as setting up both lights and finding the best lighting to
use for my shoot. Having the right lighting means that the picture
will look of a higher quality and you will b able to see the finer
detail in photographs. I also had to reassure that Esther had the
right equipment for the shoot. For example, make up and her
costumes. I also went over all the notes I had made for the photo
shoot to guarantee I was on the right track and knew my criteria. I
reassured myself of what I wanted to achieve and how to get the
result of the picture I set out to get. I then went to set up the
camera and got the angle and type of shot to where I needed it.
Once I did this, I could sit Esther down to give her a debrief on
what I wanted to achieve from the shoot and what style she was
representing and then talked about the types of poses she could
do. We talked first, which helped as we could just get on and take
the pictures as she understood what she had to do.
