3. Shooting Locations
For my portfolio section in my product, I would like to use an urban, rugged style of clothing and shooting. This would make
towns and cities perfect. The following is a list of possible areas I would be able to shoot and the potential set backs or
benefits of each place along with a recce of the area.
• Scarborough
As a first option, this would most likely be one of the easier choices to go for. This is because I live here and therefore I would
not need to travel anywhere near as far as anywhere else. The biggest benefit for this area is that it has a perfect aesthetic for
the style of shots I am hoping to gain from this. There are plenty of urban areas I like the look of for shooting both models and
on my own.
The main drawback to this location would be the travel distance for my chosen models as they all live in Thirsk and York. This
would usually be a problem but I could simply go pick them up myself with the only setback being the cost of fuel. Another
problem with this location could be the amount of pedestrians. A lot of my shots will be based solely on the model and/or the
scenery so having people passing through all the time could easily disrupt my project from being completed on schedule. This
would mean I need to look into the specific locations I will be shooting at.

4. This would be one of the first locations in Scarborough that
I would shoot at for the scenery and modeling. I like the
style of the area and with a model wearing a rugged urban
outfit would look exactly what I am planning for my work to
look like. There will not be as many people around so we
will not be disrupted as much as other places nearby and
therefore could finish shooting in that area quicker. I also
feel like the sky could potentially be edited to make the day
look brighter or darker depending on how I want the final
product to come out. The downsides to shooting so close to
the sea could be a higher chance of wind ruining the shoot
and extreme weather in general. I am unsure at this
moment in time if it is okay to access this part of the pier so
will need to enquire about this at a later date.This next spot is nearby to the first shooting place just a street
further inland. It is another place that would show off the rugged
style I want to portray in my portfolio. It has a lot of post editing
potential too meaning I can fine tune it to my liking. The biggest
benefit is that it is like a blank canvas and therefore open to any
potential mood or aesthetic I want to show the audience. I would
also be able to shoot more scenery based photos here and
potentially manipulate the images to look like they have grafiti or
something else on them. No permission would be needed to shoot
here to my knowledge but I could also be disrupted by the public

5. This would be one of my favourite places to take
landscape shots for my portfolio and magazine as it gives
the audience an amazing view and can be used in many
different themes and styles of products. I like this spot as
it is also one of the only place in Scarborough that I know
of from which I can get such a high up view of the
landscape. The main benefit of this area is that it is rarely
busy here and quiet meaning there are no distractions
and no permission is needed to shoot any photos here.
The only possible downsides that I can imagine are the
distance and weather. It is quite a far walk away from all
of the other places I have chosen and will take a while to
get there. Then there is the possibility of the weather
turning dull and dreary which could end my production
for the day all together.
My second option for conducting my photoshoot is Thirsk. This has many benefits to its location and I feel that I may be
shooting here as well as one other location I choose to analyse. The biggest benefit to this area is how close it is to my
chosen models. Most of them live there so it would just be a case of me traveling to them which would not be a problem.
The area is not as urban looking as Scarborough, instead being more country looking. It would mean there will be less
people to distract or stop my work.

6. This area of Thirsk would be my first choice for shooting as it
is on the outskirts of the town. This helps my productivity as
there will be no one to get in the way or stop the production
from happening. It is also a very good area for me to take
some nature based or landscape shots as it is near landmarks
such as the White Horse and other beautiful natural places
alike. The downside to a place such as this one is that the
weather yet again could ruin the set with rain and wind could
effect the flow of water nearby making it look odd.
Unfortunately I only have an Ariel view of the next location as
it is not possible for a vehicle to enter this area. I would
mostly be using the alley way areas at each side of the field
for my photography to adhere to the urban style of photo.
This area will definitely be a lot more populated and therefore
I could get distracted a lot more compared to the previous
area.

8. FinancesEquipment: Camera, Possibly green/white screen, Lighting (Indoors Only).
• Camera: There is no cost to this particular piece of equipment as I have my own camera to use. I could also alternatively book
out a camera from the college providing I give at least a day's notice.
• Green/White Screen: I do not currently own a green screen to use for this project so may have to buy one for the photoshoots.
It would also be possible that one of my family members has one to use or I could simply book out a studio in college. This would
be free of cost and would guarantee a good standard of lighting too.
• Lighting: Lighting will be one of the most important things in my photoshoot as it ultimately determines the quality of the photos
and can change themes and aesthetics. There is also no cost in this aspect of my project either as I own multiple strong lamps
that I feel would be satisfactory for what I want to create. Again, alternatively I could book out the studio in college.
Traveling: Fuel costs for myself and models.
• Fuel: This will most definitely be the most expensive aspect of the project as I will need to transport myself and my models to the
locations talked about earlier. This cost could be decreased by staying over in other closer locations or inviting the models to stay
at my house nearby to where I want to shoot. This would mean I am not spending money on fuel to drive them back home and
they will not need to pay for any transport.
Software: For my magazine's editing and manipulating images for my portfolio.
• Photoshop: If I want to do editing work at home or outside of college, then I will need to pay for a subscription from the official
website of Adobe or find a one time payment install somewhere. While inside college I would be able to use the free Photoshop
software that is supplied to me. This would help me to plan out when I take care of certain tasks by giving me an incentive to edit
photos inside of college and take photos and complete PowerPoints outside of college times.

9. Personnel
The only part of my products that will need other people is my portfolio. I will need some others to model for me so that my products have
more variety and uniqueness.
The following is a list of some of the people I would very much like to model for me if possible:
• Emma Garthwaite
• Josh Harrison
• Caitlin Ramus
• Rachel Haw
Nobody else will be needed for any other part of this project as it is mostly editing work and InDesign.

10. Facilities
• Portfolio
While creating my portfolio I will not necessarily need to book any place or ask for any permission. This makes my project a
lot easier as I can just get straight on with the work and not worry about extra planning. If needs be, I could book out the
college's studio which would give me easy access to a high quality facility with which I would be able to edit and manipulate
in more ways than other photoshoots outside.
Other than the college studio, I will not need any other facility other than home and some of the outdoor places I have
discussed and talked about in previous slides.
• Magazine & Business Cards
My magazine and business cards will be created mostly in college grounds using the Photoshop app they provide for free.
This means I can prioritize other tasks outside of college. I would also be able to buy Photoshop for the future and use it at
home too.
• Website
No specific facilities would be needed for this product as I will be using the widely available Wix website builder. This allows
me to edit and create sections for my website anywhere I need to.

11. Magazine Plan & Layout

12. I have chosen this font to potentially be used in my magazine cover and double page spreads
because of it's stand out design and how clear it is compared to the rest of the fonts I have looked
at. No effects will be needed to make this font pop out to the reader and I could even add texture
to the interior of the design to suit my needs. I want to create a vintage/retro styled magazine to
solidify that this particular product is not affiliated with my 'brand' and I feel that this is a great font
to start it off with.
This font is my second choice to be used for my magazine cover title and in my double page
spreads. I like the vintage style behind it as an alternative to the above font and I feel that should
sho-card-caps fail to look good in my work, It would be easier to work with a font like this. This font
would be useful mostly due to its mature aesthetic. I have found through my research that my
audience would be for the most part middle aged and up and so fonts like this and below should
help fit that demographic. If I do end up using this font, it will be for the magazine cover's title and
maybe some of the titles in my double page spreads. It will be a big difference from the rest of the
fonts I will use and therefore will be emphasized to the reader and draw them in. The colour I use
for this font will also dictate how much it stands out.
This vintage font is one of my favourites and will be featured throughout the magazine frequently.
It is a simple yet slightly themed font which is easy and clear to read and I will be able to use in
many different aspects of my products. I will be using this font for subheadings throughout the
double page spreads and for most of the cover lines and text in the cover. I feel that the font's style
will be a positive change from boring fonts such as times new roman. It has a personality to it and
will help with the mature yet fun theme I am hoping to achieve.

13. This is the colour palette I have created to be used on my magazine product. I have tried to
choose and prioritize gender neutral colours in this product as to appeal to the close to equal
gender gap present in my audience. This way I can make all of my audience feel welcome to use
my product and not only appeal to a specific portion of my audience. Yellow will be the most
used colour in my product, being present on every page with the exception of adverts. I chose it
not only because of the above reason but because it stands out when used on the cover of the
magazine. It also will look very nice along side the photo I am planning to use for the
background too. The red colour will be primarily used to emphasize information I want the
reader to see quickly. Blue/purple will be used to compliment the rest of the colours used in my
double page spreads and will add some life to the magazine to ensure that it doesn't end up
looking too boring.
This second colour scheme was created for my business card. I want to use contrasting colours in
the neon lights as to attract more attention to the main details of the product. I will try to use all
of these colours but will most likely be using just the red and blue. Again, I tried to use a more
gender fair colour scheme with my design and so chose the red for males & blue for females.

About Me:
Thompson Photography & Media is a business created around a hobby by myself to further my skills in both taking and editing photos
for any customer or business. I pride myself in working hard and keeping excellent communication with my clients and hopefully one
day will make bigger and better things! I am based around Scarborough & York but I am able to travel if necessary. I have been into
photography for a long while now but have quite recently gained access to a camera of my own meaning I could finally begin creating
work that I love and developing my skills. I’m a friendly and outgoing individual and easy to work with so send me an email and I'll see
how I can help you!
My Equipment:
The Camera I use is the Canon PowerShot SX540 HS. I have been learning about and using this particular model for around four
months and I’m coming out with positive results! the camera itself wields a 20.3 Megapixel CMOS, 50x ultra zoom with ultra wide
angle and plenty of flexibility for pretty much every task I have come across during my time with this equipment. It is a great starter
camera for someone as fresh on the scene as me and will excel in almost all areas. You won’t be disappointed!

Editing Backgrounds in Photoshop:
Image manipulation is arguably the biggest aspect to modern day digital photography. In this tutorial we will be showing you the
basic Photoshop editing skills that you will apply many times if you pursue a photography career in our time. To begin with you will
be swapping out the sky of a photo for another of your choice. This photo is the starter we will be using. It was chosen because it
will show clearly and simply the difference between the original and edited images. For non professional work, we would normally
be just fine simply using the magic wand or colour range tools for selecting the sky but here, we will be teaching you to use a
slightly more advanced technique with blending sliders. Before we begin, you will need to make sure that you have a replacement
photo of a sky with the same dimensions as the original photo.
Step One: select, copy and paste the original photo.
To start off with, you will be required to select the original image's layer by pressing CTRL + A if you are using Windows and CMD +
A if you are using a Mac. Now that you have done this, you should see a selection outline around the edges of your document.
Press either CTRL + C or CMD + C to copy this selection and then paste it over to the sky photo's document after using CTRL + V or
CMD + V. Your layers should look like this:
