The document discusses editing photos taken during a photo shoot for a music magazine. It describes taking various shots of a model from different angles and poses. It then summarizes the editing done to each photo in Photoshop, including adjustments to brightness, contrast, saturation, and filters. The overall goal of the edits was to portray the model in a way that fits with different music genres and styles.

1. Image Analysis

2. •I chose to take a high angled
shot of my model here. I
intended it to be a full body
shot, but as I took the photo a
shadow appeared at the
bottom of the photo, this
shadow was what lead me to
do what I did when editing the
photo. In the photo, the model
is seen wearing a white shirt
and a jacket that’s currently in
style.

3. •I used Photoshop to edit this photo.
•In this picture, I decided to increase
the brightness, so that the shadow at
the bottom stands out more for effect.
•I then made the decision to higher
the contrast, I felt that this was
effective because it changed parts of
the picture to seem more bleak which
could be linked in to a the genre of
music or into a colour scheme of the
magazine.
•Finally, I lowered the saturation of the
picture, this picked up on the vibrant
colours, such as the models face and
the bucket in the background and
made them a softer colour.

4. • While taking this photo, I
asked my model to pose in
this way so that he came
across as a very chilled out
person and that he isn’t
really bothered about what
people think of him.
• I had him dress in these
clothes, black suit and white
shirt because I wanted to
loosely base the style of
Arctic Monkeys front man,
Alex Turner. I did this
because the Arctic Monkeys
are a big band in the indie
pop and music industry.

5. • I edited this photo in Photoshop.
• I first put a black and white filter on
the whole picture to give an effect of
it being more mysterious.
• After, I decided to decreased the
warmth of the picture. This gave the
picture a more urban look and
allowed the different shades to flow
into each other better.
• I decreased the saturation of the
picture to make the black and white
filter stand out better. I feel like this
change made the finish of the black
and white look slightly more
professional.
• Finally, I increased the depth of the
shadows under the model, I believe
that this completed the picture and
left it with all parts of my editing
complementing each other.

6. • Here I took a full body shot of
my model. I did not tell the
model to pose in any particular
way in this photo, it was taken
while we were just having a
conversation but actually come
across quite effectively as it
looks completely natural and
shows the model having a
laugh, which could work well
as to showing the reader that
he might not be the way he is
portrayed.
• I did however, tell him to stand
in front of the brick wall. I did
this because if I did choose to
further develop this photo, the
brick wall could look very
effective.

7. • I used Photoshop to edit this
picture.
• I decreased the saturation of
the photo in order to make it
look a little vintage and old, this
was to link it in with the genre
of music that I am basing my
magazine on.
• I also added a grain effect to
also make the picture look a
little more dated.
• Finally, I increased the
brightness of the whole photo, I
did this because of the poor
lighting outside, this did
however have a positive effect
because it made the model’s
clothing stand out more from
the background.

8. • In this photo, I asked
the model to look away
from the camera in
order for him to come
across as mysterious
because we cannot see
his direct eyes.
• I chose him to be
wearing the black
jacket to illustrate that
he can have more than
one look, with the black
suit and the bigger coat
being his others.

9. • Again, I used Photoshop to
edit this picture.
• While editing this photo, I
first changed the filter to
black and white again, I
believe that the black and
white filter works well when
the model is wearing black
and white clothes.
• I then used the sharpen tool
in order to make the image
stand out from itself.
• Finally I played with the
contrast in order to find the
perfect level for the models
facial features, such as his
jaw line.

10. • This is one of my
favourite shots from the
photo shoot. This is
because it shows off the
models facial features
and by looking at it I can
already vision what I
want to do with the
picture in my magazine.
• I used a mid shot and a
high angled shot, I also
had the model looking
directly at the camera,
this was to create the
thought of confidence.

11. • I edited this photo using
Photoshop.
• I turned the contrast of the
photo down, this was so that the
models cheek bones were more
visible.
• I then tweaked the brightness
slightly. I turned it up to make my
model look slightly less pale in
the picture.
• To finish, I made the shadows
darker. I did this in order to make
the models jaw line more
noticeable. I was able to do this
because of the slight shadow
under the models chin.
