Photos

I took my photos in a green house in a local park near my college, I chose this setting because it had an vintage look and would soften up the image of my featured but at the same time makes my photos look interesting to my audience. I took over 100 photos however the majority of my photos were glity and unsettled to be even considered to be in my magazine. However I did get some images that were presentable.

For her costume I chose casual wear and something formal as well, to show that she is not a 'diva' and this fame has not gone to her head. I chose my friend Kayleigh because the audience would find her to be more pop genre in some aspects, in how she dresses and her hair style (long and blonde) 

 

This is one of my four photos I took , as you can see I have blurred the background for this shot. Originally my photo had not been blurred and my featured artist was merged with the background. With this photo I had to cut around my featured artist and separate her from the background , I blurred the background by using photo shop for  the editing of my photos. I blurred the background to make my featured artist sound out on the front cover so my background unsettling the rest of the image. After I finished with the effects of the photo, I emerged the two different effects together on in design because I uploaded the photo into one and then I realised that I needed my featured artist in front of the name of the magazine. I was really pleased when I finally emerged the blurred photo and the cut out of my featured artist, this makes my photo look more effective to my audience and shows that I took an alternative route instead of taking my photos in a studio. 


This shot is a medium close up. I particular like it because she is posed with her hands on the hips to show that she is confident and she is also looking straight into the camera to give an connection with her audience as you can see her body is forward. This photo was shot for a cover image so I took it mid level so I got most of her body in this shot, this is supposed to display her body language to her audience. 

This photo is a mid shot. I chose this shot for my contents page because if you can notice my featured artist is not looking into the camera so my image does not generate too much emotion or intense concentration as well as being a comfortable, emotionally neutral shot, the mid shot allows room for hand gestures and a bit of movement. Also this shot could also be a wide shot because you can see her whole body in this image.

For this photo I used an umbrella as a prop, I thought this could give abit more colour to this photo and atmosphere. I like this shot because there's alot going on besides my featured artist posing, as you can see the background is not like most shots done in a studio, there is alot of live (indicating the plants) the white beams, the worn out bricks to show the how calm it is and the vintage set back.   My featured artist is not doing a strong pose but it makes the audience analysis the image more. As you can see she is leaning her body and hanging on from a branch of a tree, making the image look soft as she smiles away from the camera.  

This is a wide and mid shot I think, because this shot is displaying her whole body ;however the detail is really good you can see the emotion that is held, and this photo is taking up a full A4 page for my double spread.

The image has a unique setting because she is surrounded by plants and the glass windows are reflecting with the sunlight. On the day I took this sun shone through the glass roof and gave me really good lighting in this part of the green house. The lighting highlighted her features by making her stand out from the dark plants.

I replaced her black vest with a orange vest to give more colour to this photo. I will be using this photo for my double spread because she is looking into the camera. 

This is a close up shot. I took another picture so I could have four pictures for my print project. For my fourth picture I thought a close up shot should be included to my variety of shots. For my camera I changed the effects to beauty shot to make the close up shot look more detailed. I have also included pair of purple framed glasses as a little prop. I particular like this shot because the quality of my camera has highlighted the details e.g. air brushed skin, shadowing effect against the cream walls. For this photo I instructed my sister to stand at an angle of the light and look straight into the camera to show more emotion to her audience.
