Serena Keogh took photos for her magazine project in the school photography studio and classroom. In the studio, she used artificial lighting and plain backgrounds to create good lighting and editing options. She took additional photos against a plain white wall in her classroom to test natural lighting. For her cover photo, Serena used a medium close-up shot of student Will Eze under studio lighting to match her inspiration magazine. For interior photos, she photographed Will again with natural lighting and had him remove his jacket for variation. Serena obtained permission from Will via email to photograph and feature him in her magazine. Potential hazards of shooting in the studio included loose wires, unsecured backgrounds, equipment breakage and overheating lights. Human:

Why?
Photography Studio-
Firstly, I took this image in our
Photography studio at school, the reason
why I decided to take the image here is
because the studio had lighting which I
was able to use, to create good lighting
for my imgae. I also decided to take
photos in the photography studio as they
had a number of different backgrounds I
could use.
Blank Wall in the classroom-
I took this image in casual places against
a plain white wall in my classroom, I
decided to do this as I needed a plain
background so that it was easy to edit my
image, in photoshop.I also decided to
take a photo in my classroom, as I
wanted to see how the images turned
out when using natural lighting.

what I was basing my
magazine off.As well as this I wanted the
main focus to be on the artist on the
front cover.

photography studio, I also used a plain
background which was already in the
studio, I didn’t require much props as I
didn’t want my image to be too busy, I
liked how it look when it was simple.The
chlothing that will was using was up to
date clothing, in the image he is wearing
a black top from topman, as well as a
beige coat also from topshop, in the
image he is always wearing black jeans
but you cannot see them in the shot.The
reason why I chose to use Will for my
magazine is because his style best fits my
magazine style and genre of the music
which is R&B and Rap.
Eze(student).Compared to my first image
the lighting I used for this image was
natural lighting, I decided to use this as I
thought that it looked a lot better when
using the camera, I also wanted to switch
it up from my front cover image were I
used artifical lighting, I also used natural
lighting because sometimes it makes
people look harsher, and distorts their
features, so therefore at this time naturla
lighting looked better when taking
pictures of Will. I didn’t require much
props as I didn’t want my image to be
too busy, I liked how it look when it was
simple.The chlothing that will was using
was up to date clothing, in the image he
is wearing a black top, I decided to get
will to remove his jacket, as I didn’t want
the image to look exsaclty the same as
my front cover image.
