The document summarizes three photo shoots, describing the use of different backgrounds, lighting techniques, and props. In the first shoot, a range of backgrounds and models were used, including a grey background and soft lighting. Props like guitars were also employed. The second shoot featured white backgrounds as a contrast to black backgrounds and bright lighting. These photos were later edited in Photoshop. The first shoot made significant use of gels, white backgrounds, and natural lighting to create vibrant looks, while black backgrounds enhanced the colors. Full-body poses were emphasized since the photos would be used for magazine articles rather than contents pages.

1. PHOTOSHOOT

2. In my photo-shoot I used a
range of different
backgrounds and models.
These photos show the use
of the grey background and
also the more natural, soft
lighting. Furthermore in this
photo-shoot, I employed
the use of props like that of
the guitar shown and also
two shots instead of just
photos of single models.

3. These photos are from both my first and second photo-shoots, and
act as examples of the white background. This background was
important as it acted as a juxtaposition to the harsh black
background and bright gel lighting. Also these photos would go
onto being edited on Photoshop with majority of their backgrounds
removed.

4. In my first photo-shoot, although there was also a very large use of the white
background and natural lighting, gels were a major element. These allowed me to
create a much more vibrant and distinct look for my magazine. The black
background was therefore used to enhance these colours. Furthermore in my first
photo-shoot, there is a strong emphasis on body language and the models entire
pose, not just their face. This was because, these pictures would be for the main
articles in the magazine and not just in the contents page.
