James Fox took photographs during a trip to Media City UK for a photography college project. He chose 10 photos and edited them in Photoshop, applying effects like grayscale and sepia. He evaluated the strengths of each photo, noting how composition and editing enhanced qualities like brightness, boldness, and depth of field. His aim is to be more spontaneous with camera settings for future projects.

1. Photo Shoot Review
By James Fox

2. Aim of Shoot
These are the images I have taken from Media City in Salford
quays. From these 10 photographs have been chosen to partake
in my project for Magazine layout and Design.

3. Description of shoot
On the 28.1.13 a trip to Media City UK was trending. The outing was organised
to prepare us for location rekey within a task given from our photography unit at
college. The process consisted of observing for still landscape images and
buildings were a great example as you can see to the right.
These are the setting I used for my photography shoot in Media City.. A lot of the
picture depends on the settings chosen with are depicted briefly. Throughout my
composition of photographs only little faults were caused because of the small
advanced options within the camera’s qualities.

4. Editing effects
For this image I opened
them in Photoshop and then
added an effect called
grayscale and then switch
the background colour to
sepia that I designed to help
me to enhance the imagery
and detailed within the
image.

5. Final Images
I think the strengths
of detail within this
image are depicted
through the
grayscale affect that I
applied in Photoshop
and also the colour
sepia also added
extra brightness.

6. Capture log
• Setting - Auto
• Shutter Speed –
1/60 s
• Aperture – f/2
• ISO - 200

7. Editing effects
I think the strengths of this photo
includes things such as the
composition which went well as
the use of rule of thirds. The
editing was good because I
managed to get a very good
colour to the image that enhances
the brightness. I also used
grayscale which really boosted
the boldness of the image and
how solid it was.

8. Final Images
I think the strengths of this photo
include things such as the solid
imagery which when edited
affected the overall outcome of
this image. The editing was good
because I managed to get a very
good affect that really made the
image superior to other images, it
also dead-end the image. I also
used grayscale which really
boosted the boldness of the
image.

• Setting - Auto
• Shutter Speed –
1/60 s

10. Editing effects
I think the strengths of this photo
includes things such as the
conformation which went well as
the use of rule of thirds. The
editing was good because I
managed to get a very good
colour to the image that enhances
the brightness. I also used
grayscale which really boosted
the boldness of the image and
how solid it was.

13. Editing effects
I think the strengths of this photo
includes things such as the
arrangement which portrays the
likeability's of the image as the
use of rule of thirds is used well.
The editing worked well as I
managed to get a very good
colour to the image that enhances
the brightness. I also used
grayscale which really boosted
the boldness of the image and
how solid it was.

16. Editing effects
For this image I opened
them in Photoshop and then
added an effect called
grayscale and then switch
the background colour to
sepia that I designed to help
me to enhance the imagery
and detailed within the
image. I think the depth of
field was used really well in
the photograph.

17. Final Images
• Grayscale and the sepia
colour really portray the depth
of field in which this
photograph has gone. Also,
that the design has more
brightness and become more
bold. Also, reflection and
shadow are used which the
effects of this image within
Photoshop.

• Setting - Auto

19. Rejected Images
The main reason I didn’t
choose these images are
because of their inverness
and how they reveal deep
unnecessary objects and
don’t fore come my
expectations but the I took the
images comes down to being
adventuress.

20. Aims for next project
• I’ve learned a lot from this photo-shoot as pre-
production for further actions are applicable as it
really affects the overall outcome of the edited
images.
• The things I’d change are only to be more
spontaneous such as the shutter speed and aperture.
