The document analyzes and summarizes the author's selection of photographs for a fashion spread with the theme of spring. It discusses four potential images, noting strengths like the use of direct address, outfit details, and complimentary colors in the backgrounds. It also notes weaknesses, such as slight out of focus shots, lack of colors, and angles that did not fully show the outfit. The final image selected is described as perfect for the spring theme with bright green leaves, plain foreground, and medium long shot that shows outfit details while drawing attention to the model's face.

1. Photograph Selection for
Outfit 3 (LO4)
By Olivia Lewis-Brown

2. Image 1
This high angle medium long shot I selected for its
use of direct address and focus to define the outfit
as well as accessory details on the models face and
body. The direct address immediately grabs the
attention of the audience, the use of her hands to
bring attention to her face also showing her
collection of bangles as well as advertise her
glasses. The flower motif with the flowers in her hair
keeps with the continuous spring style incorporated.

3. Images 2 and 3
This long shot I selected
for its full view of the
models outfit and for the
mise en scene colour
scheme which
compliments the light blue
of the dress perfectly.
However I did not choose
this image as my final
spread choice because of
the slight out of focus
because of model
movement and the use of
manual focus on the DSLR
camera. The low key
lighting also gave no colour
which for my theme of
spring is a recurring mise
en scene motif I wanted to
include in all my photos.
This birds eye shot of
my model looking up
at my camera was
my second choice for
my third spread as
the balance of the
mise en scene with
the detail of the moss
in the background
added colour and
defined the bright
colours of the flowers
in my models hair.
The use of direct
address and the
bright blue of the
models eyes was a
striking attraction to
the image. However
the high angle make
it harder for the
viewer to see the
models entire outfit, a
main focal point I
wanted to include

4. Image 4
This low angle long shot was effective in
showcasing the entire outfit while the natural
lighting combined with the darker colour scheme
of the mise en scene made the main focal point of
the model stand out. However I did not utilize this
image as the lack colour was not appropriate for
my theme of spring as the connotations of
springtime as a season involved vivid colours and
bright tones with high key lighting which are not
established in this image.

5. Final Spread Image Selected
This image is a perfect candidate for my fashion
spread as the bright green leaves in the mise en
scene and the plain foreground define the outfit
colours of my model and keep with the colour
scheme established as the conventions of
springtime. The medium long shot is perfect for
showing the outfit in detail and the models hands
help frame her face drawing attention to all areas
of the image.
