Photo Shoot ReviewCarrie Deans

Unit 57: Photography and Photographic Practice

Task 4 Selection of final images & review

Aim of Shoot

• The aim of my shoot was to take some photos for my music magazine. I tried to make them look casual and laid back. I made them wear there normal clothes that they usually wear to make them seem more themselves.

Description of shoot

• This is my favorite image, because they are both smiling. I made them stand close together holding a guitar to make them look like a close group, I took it in the photographic studio with just a basic white sheet in the background, I use studio lighting.

• The way they look together went well because they actually look like singing duo who are good friends.

Selection of unedited images

Editing effects

I edited this photo by messing around with the contrast and exposure to make it seem more vibrant. I then put the brightness up to intensify the colours and make them seem more bold and demanding, so the picture catches your attention more.

Editing effects• Choose 1 of your final images that you have edited. Paste in 2 screen shots at different stages of the editing process.

• Describe how you edited it

This is the picture I used on my front cover I edited this by changing the orientation to portrait and cutting out some of the back drop I made the colours brighter and changed the vibrancy and contrast to make the colours more bolder and clearer.

Editing effects

I edited this by putting up the brightness so that the lighting seemed more brighter and the picture was clearer.

Final Images

These are the final images I think the strengths are the vibrant colours, I made most of them landscape but I made one of them portrait so that it would fit better on my front cover. I think the weakness is the enviroment there in I think could of made an effort to get a better back drop but overall I think they turned out pretty well.

Rejected Images

I rejected these images because there not very well positioned or posed.The lighting is quite dark, and they don’t look very in character. Also there not fully in the image in some of them.

Aims for next project

From this shoot I have learned to plan better, I will think of a better setting/area and ask them to dress in better clothes for example clothes that are the same style, and come up with better poses and things for them to do in my pictures so I have more stuff to play with when editing.
