My Photoshoot

Photoshoot 1
For my main photoshoot I wanted it to look like the photos had been taken in a professional studio, therefore i used a white wall for the background which helped to create this effect. Although there is a plug socket on the wall this does not matter as I can edit it out in Photoshop. I decided to put my models first of all in trousers, t-shirts, glasses and blazers as this gives the photos a 'Rock Chick' feel. I then changed them to evening, party dresses as this type of clothing is typically worn by female music artists that feature in magazines, therefore I chose to do this as it will make my magazine conventional. Both of the models make direct eye contact with the reader in all of the photos as this helps to attract the reader's attention.

Below is a slideshow of all the original photos that have the potential to be either on the front cover of my music magazine or on the contents page. However, some of the photos are long shots instead of mid shots, this means that if i chose to use one of these images, that is a long shot, as my cover picture I will have to edit it first.

For this photoshoot I wanted to give the images an edgy more urban feel instead of making them all look like they had been taken in a photography studio. I knew of a local field so I decided to use this as the setting for my second photoshoot. I dressed my models in jeans, vest tops and military boots as this fitted in with the urban/edgy feel that I wanted to create. I also changed the model's hair by putting it in a side plait so that it wasn't styled the same as it was in the main photoshoot.

Below are pictures, from Google Maps, of where I took my photos.

Below is a slideshow of all the original photos that have the potential to be either on the double page spread of my music magazine or on the contents page. In some of the pictures I have used the technique of the Rule of Thirds by putting the models of the left hand side of the photo, this will then allow me to put the writing on the right hand side without it affecting the image by overlapping my models. It also allows the background to carry across both pages.

The images that I took at this photoshoot are for my secondary solo artist which I will put on the contents page and maybe on my double page spread as they could be a collaborator  with my band. I started off by using a white wall to make my photos look like they had been taken professionally. However, I then changed to having a brick wall as my backdrop as this gives a different look to my images but they also fit in with the urban feel I created in my second photoshoot. If I do end up putting one of these images on my double page spread then this will fit in nicely. I dressed my solo artist in jeans and a pretty blouse as I want this clothing to signify a pop artist, who normally wears girly clothing, rather than an R&B artist who would dress differently.
