Evaluation of photos

Taking my photos I was able to develop my understanding of some of the features that create a good photo, like lighting, props, facial expressions, body language and costume, all these things are extremely important when it comes to taking photos 

I made sure that my model was looking at the camera in all of the pictures I will be using as it engages the audience more with the magazine and also attracts more attention as people will be making eye contact with the model, I also made sure my model had a serious facial expression, as this sets the tone of the magazine and portrays its elements by setting the mood of the magazine. I followed my photo planning sheet as much as possible so that my photos came out to my satisfaction and how I had planned

By getting my model to wear different clothes also allowed me to change the genre of artist my magazine would be about which would change the audience and elements of the article altogether, the use of props such as the glasses and hat also allowed me to do this further

Most of the angles of my shots are straight on as I feel this is a simple and effective angle that allows you to capture them in detail and is not hard to capture. Most of my shots are midshots, this allows you to be close enough to see their face and expressions in detail but also allows you to see there clothes and the background, by using a plain background there are no distractions letting all the focus be on the model

In future photo shoots I will be experimenting with different angles and how they will effect the outcome of the picture, I will also be using many different backgrounds and will be going to many different locations to take my pictures
