The photographer conducted a photo shoot with a model to create images for a CD cover. Several settings and poses were captured to provide diversity. Some pictures showed the model looking at the camera or to the side in unconventional poses. Others mimicked famous images or included props. In the end, only a few images were selected and edited for the final cover, prioritizing those with high impact eye contact or unique poses.

1. The Photo shoot

6.  I have put together all of the
photographs used in the photo
shoot in order to display the
different shots and reasons for
choosing each.

7. Many pictures were used for the original idea of
all the images looking at each other, as can be
seen in the following, this was before I realised
it did not work and other images were used.
I used 2 different settings, outside, and indoors
against a blank wall, both types of images were
used. I took a range of poses to create diversity
upon the creation of my ancillary tasks.

8.  This image was
an idea for an
image looking
up at the one
above, such as
the following:

14. Pictures looking to the left as continues:

16. One of the pictures that I edited and then finally used. As well as using this
picture on the front cover, I also decided to use it on the back cover without
the other image edited on top, similarly to the other picture used on the back
cover, I like the way the pose is unconventional.

18. Images taken looking to the right as continues:

19. This picture was used on the back of the CD cover, I like the way the
pose is unconventional and also the positioning of her hair on the models
shoulders.

24. I like the way this image looks directly into the camera and gives a high impact,
this image was unused, however I did use the eyes on the editing for the main
CD cover.

25.  I chose to take some photographs
outside to create a greener
background, my initial plan was to keep
the background to create a more
mystical theme. However in the end it
was cut out. I did a range of poses and
also included props to give a different
image.

26. I chose to use an umbrella as a prop to directly contrasts the bright outdoor
background.

28. Another image that was also
very nearly used, however the
image came out blurry and
when it was tried to redo, it
never came out the same.

30. A side picture of
the model, the
pose was
made to look
similar to that
of a ‘Charlie’s
angel’ and
was almost
used in the
final piece.

33. This image is made to
mimic the iconic
image of The Beatles
on the zebra crossing,
I also made the
image slightly blurry to
give it a different
effect, upon
production however, I
decided to cut out
the background and
the back leg to make
it look as though the
model is leaning.

35. This was one of my
favourite images
to give the a
‘mystic’ and
‘dreamy’
impression which
is what I wanted,
however in
production I
found the image
did not fit with
the other style of
images used.
