Hello Everyone,
Today, I went out with Ellie (my model) and took some practice photos. I
knew I wanted to have my artist outside in a natural environment. I went to the
quarry and backtrack; there aren't any woods or forests near me so this is the
best place. I took some photos just on my normal Nikon Coolpix camera as I didn't have one of the fancy ones from school which I will have when it comes to my
actual photo shoot. I really liked how the photographs turned out; it’s given
me a good idea of what I want on my cover and double paged spread. I used Adobe Photoshop to touch up the skin and make the images brighter. Especially with the close ups as her skin needed to be flawless, as in official magazines there's no imperfections so I had to show that in my magazine also.
I also took a couple photos of my friend Beth,
these would be used as little photos in the contents page advertising other
artists but there wouldn't actually be an article about them. I like these photos as they're more close ups compared to the long and wide shots I took of Ellie. I want a couple of artists on my contents page to attract a wider audience, so I will have a few locations and some in the studio.
From my practice photos I have decided that I definitely want to take some photos in the woods/forest it gives it a natural almost enchanted feel and that's how I picture indie music - outside in a forest. I am also going to take some studio pictures either for my double page spread or contents page, as they look professional and I can photo shop them easier. Also I want to use a range of skills in my project, therefore I want to be able to use the camera and change the settings for different lighting etc
