My photoshoot was successful and the images shown below all represent my target audience and all look professional, this is primarily down to the lighting, location and choice of model. The images I have taken are not all in focus which is why some of them are not found in any pieces of my work, however the majority of them are in focus which instantly makes them look professional, I have used a range of shot types in order to produce a variety of diverse images which I can later decided whether they are going to be appropriate to use in my magazine or not.
I also feel that my images look good because of the mise-en-scene included in the photographs. This included the clothes worn by the model, the make-up she is wearing and also the location of the shoot.. This made it easier to represent my audience.
This was the first image taken and instantly I could see that the lighting was just a bit too bright, the shot type was a medium close up, however the positioning of the model was not effective for magazine production as her arm would of been difficult to work into a commercially viable piece of art, such as a magazine cover. This image was a good image to start off with as it meant I able to adjust the camera settings in order to prepare for a higher quality, well lit photo. The interesting pose represents Stanley Hall's theory of youth being rebellious well, combined with the risqué clothing and vibrant dyed hair it is made clear that the model is in complete control over her appearance and is certainty not conforming to any expectations or standards set by modern society.
This is the second image I took and instantly it was clear that the saturation of the image had been lowered drastically, however this is not exactly a problem as I was able to correct this during the editing process on Photoshop. I particularly like this image as it has an interesting focus, it clearly shows the model in almost perfect focus, the wall to the right is blurred and the background is also blurred giving an interesting effect. The pose and position of the model would more easily work into the production of a magazine as the model herself does not take up too much space. This image will not be used on my cover page but perhaps could be used on my contents page as a story image.
This image I particularly like because of the complex and interesting background. The shot is in focus and shows more of the model. Her risqué clothing represents Laura Mulvey's theory which states that women are primarily used in the media as objects of sexual desire. Her pose conventional of other models in leading competitors such as Q and NME, I attempted to create triangles in the spaces between her arms after watching a video on youtube regarding modelling techniques. The only problem I have about this image is that the distance between the reader and the model herself is large and therefore she may be hard to identify or the reader may simply lose interest in the picture itself.
This image I particularly like as it has the elements of the two previous photos, it has an interesting background and also the model is in focus, well lit and is executing an interesting pose. I think that this image will represent my target audience the best out of all the images I have taken particularly because of the features of the model, the red lips are daring and the vibrant colour of her hair is exciting.
The images below were all taken in the same location, however I had already settled on using the image above on my cover and also the second image on my contents page. I took these images as potential candidates for use on my double page spread, I attempted to use all of them during the production of my double page spread as they are all in focus, and the lighting is of a professional standard. The image I used is the image directly below the text as on this image she is not looking at the lens of the camera, instead she is looking to the right, this gave me an opportunity to incorporate this into my work, as it turns out my double page spread works extremely well with this photo as it looks as though she is looking at the article itself giving the double page spread a unique style and design.
