Photoshoot Review

Overall the photoshoot went fairly well and I have come out with some reasonable images that I can use on my magazine. After taking the pictures and seeing them back on the computer I can tell that the white background is easier to deal with and the detail is better compared to the black background. I believe this is due to me not having to over expose the image like I had to with the other background to gain more definition. If I were to do this photoshoot again I would use the white background for all the photos and also I would not physically crop the image when framing it. Although Knowing I could crop the RAW images on the computer I still framed the photo with the camera the match the image I was basing it of. This meant that if for some reason the image didn't fit into the magazine where I wanted it then the options for where it could go would be limited.

Another problem that occurred in the photoshoot was time, this restriction meant I only got one picture of each pose. Meaning that the photos I had where the only ones I could use and If the persons eyes where closed then the image would be rubbish. With the Female photoshoot I managed to get two photos, although not the same pose they were the same person. From here I realised that One pose I preferred the face whereas the other I preferred the Body, therefore I will edit the face to the other picture to perfect it.

House Style Mood Board



I have chosen to use a more subtle colour palette with only a few vibrant colours on my double page spread. The reasoning behind these vibrant colours is due to the artist being very darkly dressed so I needed a contrasting colour scheme. In addition to the colour palette you can see some examples of what my pages might look like, I have chosen picture with a medium shot and who are in a smart attire to link to my target audience.  Furthermore I will try to use techniques like bokeh and lighting techniques like some of these to connote a more professional vibe.
