Practice Images

To help ensure that I take the best possible pictures I can for my magazine, I decided to take some practice images with a couple of my peers. As you can see I took a fair amount of pictures because I wanted to practice for my cover page, contents and double page spread. The first image on the left is a great example of what I would use on my double page spread, its a very natural photo and the lighting is perfect.

I would possibly use this image on the contents page, it would could help promote the online website I will have created as part of task also. Again the model is very natural, doing something that she would do on a day to day basis, however artificial lighting is used on this image.

I would also use this image on my contents page, the target audience will clearly understand what the magazine will contain and what kind of genre it is, if they haven't already guessed from the front cover.

If I were to use this in my actual work it would have to placed in the contents page because it is showing what a certain page will contain.

Not only did I want to take good practice pictures I also wanted to include how not to take a picture. I think this is a great example, firstly not only is the model not looking at the camera because she is distracted by her phone but it is also very blurry. This in my opinion is a very very bad image and I definitely will not be taking my images like this.

This is also an example of a bad photo. The lighting is so bad on here, you can't see the models expression let alone her face. Also it has been taken from a bad angle, you can only, just, see her face.

This would be placed on my contents page, as it quite clearly shows what these models are wearing, it very much shows that it is a fashion magazine.

This would fit perfectly on the front cover. It is a mid-shot of my model. You are able to clearly see her facial expression and most of what she is wearing and I think this will attract the target audience.
