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.

2. I did this shoot for my music magazine as I needed images for a cover, contents page and double
page spread. I didn’t take that many images as I just needed 5 images however I took enough to
ensure that I would definitely have 6 images that I liked and was able to use.
I wanted sort of posed images for the large images in my magazine but not overly posed and
then all the little images I used was quite natural images where they are hugging and laughing.
I used and edited 6 images out of the 28 that I took.

3. To get these images I borrowed a camera from college and I took all the images inside with a
white curtain background. I didn’t take many pictures because I only needed 6 images however
if I was to do this project again then I would want to take a lot more images than I have took
this time so that I have more images to choose from as most of the 28 images I had took I
wasn’t able to use.
I didn’t have a proper plan for my shoot, I had an idea for one image and I planned to use this
image for my cover but when I actually went to do I didn’t like how the idea came out so I
decided to use a different one and this idea was more the models than mine as there was a
large photo frame on the floor that my model picked up so we decided to take pictures with
that and I really like them ones so I used that as my cover image rather than the one I had
planned.

4. These are all the images I took, although I got 28 images most of them are basically the same,
very similar. So I could have done with taking more but I was happy with how some of the
images I took came out.

5. These are all the images that I liked so I went on to edit them and then I used in my magazine. I
chose this images because I thought that these were the ones that fit the best with the genre of
my magazine. I thought a lot about the alignment when I was taking these pictures as I was
using 2 people I wanted them to be in the centre of the page on most images. With the pictures
I took originally I thought that they was a bit dark and dull so with my editing effects I made
them brighter as I wanted really bright images so that they would stand out.

7. Originally this image had a bit too much background in it that I
didn’t want and this was the case with most of the images so I
started off by cropping it. Then I went on the adjustments menu
and changed the brightness and contrast with all the images I
made the brightness levels higher than he contrast to make it
brighter and after that I just added the auto contrast effect to it
to equalise it all. Then I changed the hue/saturation to add a
little bit of colour to it and I changed the lightness as well and
then the curves I used this as I wanted the background to be
more whiter as there was a bit of grey bits and darker bits in it
then I wanted the picture to be a bit more brighter.

8. These are some of the images I rejected because of particular
reasons as I rejected most of the images I took but that’s
mainly because they was the same as most of the others I was
using or they was blurry. This is also the case with 2 of these
images then the problem with the middle one is another thing I
encountered a couple of times because I took a lot of pictures
when the models weren't ready but I did this to try and get
natural looking pictures, but sometimes it didn’t turn out right.
