The document discusses the equipment and software the author plans to use for a photography magazine project. They will use their Nikon P7000 camera, which they are familiar with and like due to its performance and compact size compared to an SLR. They will use Adobe Photoshop to edit photos and create magazine pages, adjusting lighting, effects, and layout, as they have experience with it from previous coursework. They also plan to use Adobe InDesign but will need to refresh their skills since it has been a few years. A variety of studio lighting will be employed, including soft boxes, snoots, and beauty dishes to provide diffused and directed lighting for high quality images.
