Photo Shoot

In my photo shoot, I took several pictures . I have decided to use a studio backdrop instead of an outside backdrop. A studio backdrop allows me to change the background into something more appropriate for my magazine. This also allows more variety in my colour scheme, as outside, the colour scheme would have to match the outside. It also works with the first magazine's Title: "taking off" into the spotlight, metaphorically and physically, in this case, as I am using an indoor hall. These are the original images I took:

(1st) long shot. This shows off the shirt more, selling the outfit. The full objective is to show off the whole outfit, hence, a full body shot.

The suit that I mentioned in the target audience post can apply here. I'm trying to sell the suit as something usable, and trendy.

(2nd) mid shot. I considered using this one due to the grin, but it doesn't show off the full outfit.

The following below have been edited. I aimed for vintage shots in the next few shots, to show old fashion can still be trendy. This can also send the message that classical approaches have worked for a long time; the modern day shows no change of this trend. The following shots also have lighting featured. The model was shot with an approach that shadows manipulation- to manipulate your employers into wanting you. The light is on the model's face, to create this shadow and creating a brighter tone. Each shot has been sharpened, for clarity, and has a comparative image:

(3rd) mid shot. Originally, I didn't want the shadow, which is why I zoomed in.

(4th) long shot. The shadow creates a dark background, improving the range of colour schemes I could use.

The above was the one I used. The gesture code shows off more of the outfit, which is what I'm looking for, and no props are visible. This allows the suit to be projected on its own.

(5th) long shot. This wasn't used as the eyes were closed, and it's a repeat of the 4th shot.

(6th) mid shot. I could compare this to the 3rd shot, and decide which direction shows better lighting. It's the same shot, but mirrored via editing.

Something in common with these images is the frontal gesture code. It reflects the genre as I had the model use different gestures to show different parts of the costume. I needed to experiment with what pose would best show the traits of the suit. I also learned about my lighting through this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwv7WuJOCkU
