The candidate proposes a portrait photography project shooting models for a music magazine. They will use a Nikon D3100 or Canon 7D camera with a zoom lens and prime lens to shoot 10 portraits using techniques like rule of thirds to draw attention to the subject. The shoot will take place either at the candidate's house, in Manchester, or a nearby forest, and they will perform a risk assessment.

The photo imaging equipment and medium that will be used and why
The camera I will be using is the Nikon D3100 or the Canon 7D, I will most likely
be using a tripod as well, I will bring a normal zoom lens and a Canon EF 1.8
50mm prime lens.
Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the visual
message
One of the techniques I will use is rule of thirds. This will. Help me to make the person
I’m photographing become the centre of attention in the image.
Location of shoot

3. These are the types of music magazines my photos will
be used for. It’s more of a classy style of magazine were
the men are in suits and women in dress’s. There is a
washed out look to the magazines were the eyes seem
to be the brightest colour, this makes it look more formal
and professional.
The location of the shoot will most likely take place at my
house but if I decide to take images that need a
background I will either go to Manchester or to the forest
near my house.

4. Risk and health and safety considerations
I will complete a risk assessment
