Lesson 18 - Taking initial pictures for the front cover photoshoot

23rd Novemeber

In this lesson, I went to a studio in school to take some preliminary shots. This was so that I could see how the lighting would come out in the pictures and what poses I would like for the front cover.  Here are some of the images that I took:

This is one of the first shots I took so I could work out from the lighting where I would want the character to stand. There is quite a big shadow here, therefore I would need to re-arrange the lights.

In the next few pictures I took I got the character to pose as in my questionnaire, I found out that the readers would prefer to see a posed photoshoot on the front cover.  The interview of this magazine with this character would be generalised on the artist's upcoming music, therefore I had her pose as if she was having fun at a concert.  I made sure that the picture was taken in a portrait way so that it would be useful for the front cover. However, I may use a landscape version of this image in my magazine instead. I also edited the picture to make it look different:






In this picture, the exposure was high and the the studio lights flashed along with the camera taking the photo.
decided to edit the picture as I liked the facial expression that Amy was pulling here. I thought that it would be better if it was a close up shot of her face so I could include it somewhere in the magazine:
