2. Here I have an image that has been taken in a studio setting; by
it being taken in a studio makes the image look more
professional over all. I have purposely got my model to stand to
the right more and have all that space on the left as I was testing
out images for my final cover. For my photographs I wanted to
have an element of fashion within them. For this image I wanted
my model to be dressed casually but have an element of spring
within it. Due to this I decided to use the umbrella as a prop to
indicate the rainy springs that we can get. As I am mimicking the
work of Mario Testino I thought I would convert my image into
black and white as some of his photographs are in black and
white. I got my model to look directly at the camera so that it
grasps the attention of the people looking at it. Again I chose to
do this as I was testing this form of image for my final magazine
cover. By having adjusted the hue and saturation, and brightness
of the background, I came out with a bright white background
that makes the model stand out more as she is portrayed in
various shades of grey due to the dark colours that she was
wearing at the time.

3. For this image I tried to bring across a summer evening look.
Due to me try to portray a summer outfit I thought it was
appropriate to put my model in a dress; however, as it is an
evening outfit I thought the colours black and white would be
more suitable, rather than having bright day summer colours.
Again for this image I asked my model to look directly at the
camera so that it looked as if she was looking directly at the
person looking at the photograph. I got her to lean against
the wall with her arms behind her to give the photograph a
more casual look. As you can see with her left arms she has
created a triangular shape which we see a lot of in within
Mario Testino’s work. When editing this photograph I
adjusted the brightness and contrast of the image. I did this
so that the background was a brighter shade of white so that
the boldness of the black and blue dress would stand out.
This is because this is the main feature of the photograph as
the purpose of the image is to promote fashion (the dress).

4. For this image I wanted to present the element of
evening fashion to the audience. For this I got my model
to wear a dress that was likely to be worn in the evening. I
chose a black dress as primarily black dresses are an
obvious choice to be wear in the evening. I also asked my
model to wear red lipstick so that it completed the outfit.
Due to the purpose of the photograph being to focus on
the outfit that the model is wearing, I chose for my model
to be shot so that it only showed the dress off instead of
having a full body shot. I asked my model to put her hair
to one side so that the top of the dress was visible and so
that every aspect of the dress could be shown. For this
image I adjusted the brightness and contrast of the
photograph. However, when taking the photograph the
flash can up which already made the photograph brighter;
so by adjusting the brightness I feel like the image is over
exposed to light at the bottom. You can also see a shadow
due to the flash.

5. For this photograph I wanted to portray a winter theme
through fashion; because of this I got my model to
wear a winter coat and a hat and scarf. I got my model
to stand slightly side on so that she had to tilt her head
a bit to look at the camera; this is because I did not
want my model to be looking straight on at the camera.
Again when taking this photograph the flash was on so
I ended up with a shadow of my model on the wall.
Due to this being a winter photograph I also tried to
create a warm feeling through the editing of my
photograph. To do this I reduced the brightness of the
image and contrasted it. I also slightly adjusted the hue
and saturation of the image. Due to the coat within the
image being white I believe it stands out therefore
emphasising that this image is for the purpose of
winter fashion.
