Portrait review
The photographer took 28 images of models for their music magazine cover, contents page, and double page spread using a borrowed camera. They selected 6 images that they edited and used in the magazine. The photographer wishes they had taken more photos to provide more options to choose from, as most of the 28 images were similar or unusable. They ended up using a spontaneously captured image for the cover rather than their original planned pose.
Evaluation unit 9
The document describes Laura McKiernan's photography techniques exhibition project. She chose to use macro, landscape, wildlife, and portrait techniques in her exhibition. She edited most photos in Photoshop, applying effects like black and white, highlighting colors, and cropping. Her favorite photo was number 4, a flower she highlighted in color on a black and white background. Feedback on her exhibition was positive, praising her photos and editing skills while offering some suggestions on theme and further editing.
Edited band picture
The original photo of a band was cropped to make the guitar more central in the picture, then the levels were adjusted to change the color of the cropped picture.
Test
Composition in photography refers to the layout and positioning of visual elements within the frame of an image. Good composition involves strategically combining objects or parts to form a cohesive whole. While some snapshots may happen to have good composition by chance, photographers can improve their pictures by intentionally considering factors like subject placement, framing, balance, and emphasis when taking photos.
Annie leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz began her career as a photographer for Rolling Stone magazine in 1970. In 1983, she started working for Vanity Fair, an entertainment magazine. Throughout her career, Leibovitz took photos that were widely seen as iconic and provocative.
Music magazine images
I decided it would be easier to put my photos into a powerpoint and share them on my blod instead of uploading them all seperately.
Editing process of my photos2
The document summarizes four photo shoots taken by the author for their magazine. For each shoot, they chose young models around the same age as their target audience. They describe improvising shots without needed props. For editing, they used Photoshop to increase saturation and brightness, blur backgrounds, change colors, and remove backgrounds. Their goal was to prepare photos that fit their magazine's Christmas theme and genre of music charts.
Photo shoot planning images
The document outlines plans for six photos to depict rock music genres. The first photo will show a guitarist in black and white, playing and singing with a microphone. The second will feature a band of two males and a female in portrait with a white background. The third will use close-up lighting to highlight facial details. The fourth will show a singer passionately performing into a microphone. The fifth will depict a girl band in black dressed as rock stars against a bright background. The sixth will show a group in black with white background later edited to black and white.

Final photos
Kelsey Smith took several photos inspired by different photographers' techniques to represent elements of her world. She merged two photos of her dog and a sunset using overlay in Photoshop. Another photo featured her guitar taken from a low angle to create depth of field and leading lines. A third photo composited three layers of her dog to emulate Clarence John Laughlin's style.
Lighting techniques
The document discusses lighting techniques investigated for a music magazine photoshoot. It describes taking photos with black and white backgrounds using different lighting angles. Diagonal lighting was found to enhance faces and create soft shadows, looking natural for acoustic artists. Both studio setups and lighting directions were experimented with to emphasize subjects' faces and innocence. The white background with brighter lights was decided as most effective for the cover, while softer lighting works better for smaller stories and introducing acts like acoustic performers.
Final powerpoint
Photography is a passion of mine and I would like to pursue it further. I have two years experience in photography college where I learned various techniques like street, architecture, and portraiture photography. I enjoyed working in the darkroom developing photos. I am skilled with camera settings, studio lighting, and Photoshop. This course would help expand my skills and understanding of photography and editing. In the future, I am interested in event, portraiture, commercial, or medical photography or pursuing university/apprenticeships.
Final powerpoint
This document provides information about various photography specialisms and the key characteristics and skills required for each. It discusses specialisms such as architecture, sport, social photography, travel, advertising, fashion, commercial, industrial, documentary, contemporary practice, reportage, portraiture, fine art, and historical photography. For each specialism, examples of prominent photographers in that field are given along with the traits that have made them successful. The document also provides guidance on lighting, equipment, locations, communication skills, creativity, and other factors that photographers need depending on their specialism.
Apocotree evaluations
The document discusses the process of creating multiple exposure images with a theme of trees using a combination of landscape and sky photographs taken in woods. The author selected images that would look good together, combined them using blend modes and exposure adjustments to create unique and experimental looking images, including a final image that has an eerie and apocalyptic feel due to the merging of trees and sky.
Contact sheets
The document contains contact sheets from photo shoots for a music magazine. The first contact sheet is from studio photos of Tyler wearing plain black and jeans under good lighting. The next is from photos taken of Tyler at a gig with existing stage lighting. Only 4 could be taken due to short sets. The third is from photos around Chester where the band The Jigsaws is from at their request. Earlier photos had lighting issues but improved. The band wore normal clothes. The fourth focuses on edited photos from the Jigsaws shoot, adjusted in Photoshop, with the first chosen as the magazine cover photo. The last contact sheet shows Polaroid-style edited images for variety on the contents page.
Pcitures i have chosen
These photographs were taken for use in a double page spread, contents pages, and front cover of an album. Pictures were chosen that best captured the band performing and their personalities. Both landscape and portrait shots were included. Flash was not used to take advantage of the interesting lighting. A red background was chosen for the front cover photo shoot to match the color scheme. The second photo shoot provided better headroom and eliminated shadows compared to the first shoot.
Review of portrait images
The photographer conducted a portrait photo shoot to select images for her magazine. She wanted natural portraits and took photos both outside and in the college photography room without a tripod or formal shoot plan. From the images, she chose her final portraits based on composition, lighting, and drawing the eye to the subject. In editing, she adjusted hue, saturation and color balance to make the images look more professional with a warmer tone for her magazine cover. She rejected some images due to glare or being too dark/blurry and plans to improve future shoots with a better shoot plan and lighting adjustments.
On going evaluations
This document summarizes Abby Downing's experimental photography project. It discusses multiple techniques Abby experimented with, including multiple exposure, where she combined exposures of a dog with trees and grass. It also discusses her experiment with the Harris shutter technique, where she combined exposures of a dog running to depict movement. The document evaluates Abby's ideas and the results of her experiments, discusses the qualities and strengths/weaknesses of her work, and how she could further improve and develop her experimental photography.
Presentation photos unedited and edited
The document summarizes the edits made to several photographs from a photo shoot. For one photo of a musician at a live gig, edits were made to make it black and white and increase contrast to look more like a studio shot. Another long shot photo from a gig was de-saturated to emphasize the lighting and shadows. A third photo was given a neon effect to make it stand out. Edits were also made to several nature photos to make them look more mysterious or soft and natural.
On going evaluations
Hannah Richards created experimental photographs exploring themes of possession and exorcism. She developed her skills using slow shutter speeds to capture movement in test photos of her pets. For her final images, she experimented with self-portraits showing rapid head movements, floating reflections in a mirror, and a blurred body in a woodland scene. Each photo went through multiple iterations and editing techniques to achieve her artistic visions and push the technical boundaries of her camera. Overall, Hannah is pleased with how her final images embodied the discovery and exorcism themes through creative photography experiments.
Experiments
Hannah Richards conducted experiments in experimental photography, including reflections, out of focus, movement, and photomerge techniques. For reflections, she photographed reflections in puddles, bins, and light bulbs. The bin reflection provided a fish-eye effect. For out of focus, she photographed her cat, a light, and a flower. She liked how the light photograph looked interesting and blurry. For movement, she photographed her hand and a guitarist. She liked how the guitarist photo captured more movement with brighter lighting from behind. For photomerge, she merged photos of floral wallpaper, liking how the lighting made the silver pattern stand out despite the pattern not matching up completely.
Church evaluations
The document discusses the author's process for creating experimental double exposure photographs. They took inspiration from photographer Jerry Uelsmann and aimed to create dark images combining multiple exposures of a church and pond. Though the images were not overly complex technically, combining three exposures of a church, ducks, and landscape gave the final image a professional feel. The author was happy with how the elements merged together but thinks the work could be improved by reducing overexposure in post-production. Overall, they felt the dark, experimental images incorporating light and shadows fulfilled the brief of combining elements in an unusual way.
Review of magazine pictures
The photographer aimed to take casual photos of a music duo for a magazine. Their favorite photo showed both subjects smiling close together holding a guitar to appear like friends in a band. They edited photos by adjusting contrast, exposure, brightness and vibrancy to make colors bolder. One photo was edited by changing to portrait, cropping the backdrop, and making colors brighter and more contrasted. The final images were said to have vibrant colors while one was portrait format for the cover. Areas for improvement included planning a better setting and outfits.
On going evaluations
The document discusses experimental photography techniques. It describes creating multiple exposures by combining photographs of a dog with images of trees and grass to create textures. It evaluates this work and says it could be improved by spending more time on post-production to increase contrast. The document also experiments with the Harris shutter technique to depict movement by combining exposures of a dog running across a field, but the backgrounds were not perfectly aligned. It says with more practice this technique could be improved to better show only the intended movement.
Experiments
The document summarizes several experimental photography projects by Hannah Richards. For a reflections experiment, Richards took photos of reflective surfaces like puddles and light bulbs around campus. For an out of focus experiment at home, Richards took photos of a cat, light, and flower with different lighting techniques. For a movement experiment, Richards took photos of her hand and a guitarist at a concert to capture movement. For a photomerge experiment, Richards took multiple photos of wallpaper in her living room and merged them to recreate the floral pattern.
Task 2 completed!
The document discusses the author's experiments with experimental photography techniques including reflections, movement, out of focus photography, and photomontage. For reflections, the author took photos looking up at a car mirror and of a glass with a reflected dish. For movement, they photographed a running dog, moving camera panning nature, and a passing vehicle. Out of focus photos included a blurred window and car park from high angles. For photomontage, the author created collages of a dog, guitar, and flowers using multiple slightly adjusted photos of each subject. They felt the guitar photomontage worked best.
Photography and photographic practice evaluation
The document provides an analysis of a photography project focused on fashion photography with a vintage aesthetic. The photographer took 8 images of a model at an historic hall known for hauntings. They used warm tones, blurred some images, and shot in locations associated with the hall's ghost story. Feedback was positive and noted the cohesive ghostly theme and sharp focus. The photographer learned skills like aperture control and developed a creative style influenced by famous photographers like Nick Knight. Overall the project helped the photographer gain technical and creative photography skills while achieving their goal of conveying a vintage, ghostly aesthetic.
Photo shoot pp
The document describes two photo shoots. The first shoot took place outdoors and the photographer learned techniques like using reflectors and different angles. Shots included mid-shots using a light reflector, low-angle shots with the sky as a backdrop, and images of a group running toward the camera. The second shoot took place in a studio with a black backdrop and artificial lighting. Photos focused on the subject with blurred edges and neutral backgrounds. Lighting was used to draw attention to faces in focus.

- 1. GCSE Photography Kelsey Smith Shoot 2
- 2. In my second shoot I aimed my attention on trying to focus on and define the main subject of the picture and I am pleased with my results. The backgrounds are also brighter which make the photos more effective.
- 3. I have taken my photos from unusual backgrounds which make them more effective. I have also improved on using natural light to make the photos clearer. I think I have improved on the brightness of the photos.
- 4. I took these photos in my conservatory so that there was a lot of natural light coming in from the outside. I think this made a big improvement on my overall final pictures. I focused well on the main objects of the pictures and defined the subject.
- 5. On the top right picture I used leading lines on the guitar neck. I think this makes the photo a lot more effective. I took a picture of my lava lamp to try and capture different colours in a different pattern. I did this to make the picture more interesting and eye catching.
- 6. Improvements and Photographers One of my favourite photographers is Roland Hicks. He gets close up on small objects such as belongings and makes his photos very effective by focusing on the main subject. I have used Rolands techniques in my photos by taking pictures of my belongings from unusual angles. Roland also uses a lot of natural light in his photos which I think I have improved on in my second shoot. Another one of my favourite photographers is Carli Davidson. She mainly takes pictures of animals using black or white backgrounds. For me it was quite difficult to find an actual fully white background so I used the conservatory in my house and used the natural light from outside to define the colours of the dogs fur. Both of these photographers have had a massive effect on my photos and their techniques have helped me to capture some interesting photos.
