Location, Costumes and Props
Location
For my photo shoot I decided to take some of the images in my
model’s bedroom, therefore I could use the plain walls and natural light to
portray a studio-like look. I wanted to use the natural light when taking my
images to reduce the chances of my images being shadowed or any uneven areas of
lighting around her face/body. However, to experiment with other ideas I also
took some images against a brick wall to try and achieve an edgy/grunge look to
fit in with the genre and style of my magazine. For my second photo shoot I took
the images against a green screen, this was to achieve a studio look finish and
use the studio lights which give the images a professional look.
Costumes
The costumes used in my photo shoot consisted of three
slightly different looks, one included a burgundy Harrington jacket with a
black top, the second style was a black top and skirt with a denim jacket and
the final costume choice was a flannel shirt. I carefully chose these outfits
to fit in with the genre of my magazine and the age range of the target
audience, when considering these factors I chose stylish yet fairly indie
clothes combinations that I thought are popular among teens/young adults. It
was important to choose the right costumes for my model as this is what I hope
will entice the audience to read my magazine. However, for my second photo
shoot the images I have taken one of my models is wearing a flannel shirt and
black jeans and the other model being pictured is wearing blue jeans, a cream
jumper and a navy coat (only in some images). These are very casual costumes
that create a very friendly and up to date with fashion demands and by using a
male model this will attract the male audience as they may be able to relate
and have an interest in the clothes he is wearing/him as a person, finding him
intriguing.
Props
The only prop used was in my second photo shoot and was a
chair which the male model uses to sit on, I have chosen to use this as a prop
because it gives the images a casual and approachable look, meaning it will
hopefully entice more of the target audience. It also shows a sense of variety
in the images with the different poses used.
