Positions of Models (Experimenting Within College)

I like this picture as I really like the lighting and the colour contrast. The bad points about this are that it has a very plain and limited backdrop and would probably work best if i cut out this picture using the lasoo tool. Also the hair is over the models face, it should be swept to one side to enhance their facial features. To make this shot even better i should have taken it at a lower angle or used some lighting from behind.



This is one of the more unique shots that i took. It features my friend Bradley Cooke-Catcheside outside our college. We used what props we have available which in this case was the two pillars. I feel that the lighting could have been improved drastically. With two spot lights on the floor and the shot being taken at night would emphasise the location and position of the model.



I really love the lighting from this shot, this is taken from a staircase within our college. The lighting is from a high voltage bulb on the second floor. As this has produced such good effects, i will consider using high angle lighting in my shots. However I dont like the location of my shot. It would look more effective if this was a historical staircase or in a much darker location to follow the trend of my magazine.

This test shot really impresses me, with no industrial lighting and on a dark day this really stands out. The mood is perfect, it resembles loneliness and help. Also the position of the model is how i intend this to look for my magazine. The only downside is the clothes the model is wearing, they are too baggy and of the opposite genre in which i am aiming at. For my final photo shoot, my model needs to be wearing clothes shown in my target market powerpoint presentation.



This shot has some really good lighting, even though this is taken in a really unique and different place, a vending machine. The lighting here brings out the contours of the face and detailing of the eyes and hair. In my final shot i could have my model leaning against a glass panel with light reflecting onto this.

Test Shots Part 2

I really like this shot as it is complex. My model could be within these branches, but quite close up to use on a front cover shot, this image would look really good in monotone, and with the model partially in colour. It would work with a traditional, stereotypical view of a gil. e.g like a pokadot dress. This would stand out really well.



This image had varying tones of color which work well, the image covers too much background width ways, so to solve this i could use a chair for my model to sit on in the left part of the shot. This would make the reader question themselves of why this chair is in the shot which is what i am trying to aim for.

Test Shots Part 1

. In this first shot I really like the grass on the bottom of the shot. I would position a model half way between where the camera is situated and the tree. I really detest the natural sunlight in the top left hand corner, to still use this style of shot I would have to shoot at a different time of the day to keep a full naturalistic setting. Or I could film at night or first thing in the morning where the sun is low in the sky where I could use spot lights aiming side on at the model. Another point about this shot is that the tree is quite dull and overgrown. As I can shoot there as it is a publically owned piece of land I cannot cut off branches of the tree so I would have to shoot from a different angle.
