My photo-shoot went well as I took many pictures and in a range of different lightings. I did the photo-shoot at a time when the outside lighting was best as at first I tried taking the photos inside and the lighting was very dim and so the picture quality was not very good.
I took this first picture at around 5 o'clock in the evening when the lighting was very un-natural and dim. I chose my brother to be in his school clothes to portray that he was enthusiastic about school, however due to the way he is standing in this photo, this image has not been shown very well. The colours in this photo are not very bright due to the low-lighting so this would not be a good picture to use for my school magazine colour. My school magazine is targeted towards school students so not having bright colours may stop them from choosing this magazine out of all the others.
The pictures shown above are examples of good lighting as they were taken very early in the morning to emphasise the colours in the tie. I took these photos of my brother because my magazine is targeted towards older students that are in year 10 or 11 as they are just about to do their GCSE's. He is smiling in the photos to show to the readers that he is happy about school and wants to do well.
What was the inspiration for my photo-shoot?
Personally, I believe that these two pictures were the inspiration for my pictures in the photo-shoot. This is because both magazines show mid-shots of men in stern positions creating the image of them being powerful. This draws the reader towards the magazine as it shows a sense of mystery within the from page leading the target audience to wonder what is inside; therefore, they will want to buy the magazine. I tried my hardest to imitate these pictures and adapting them to the needs of the magazine that I will be creating. However, the lighting was not the best as it was only natural lighting so I will need to consider this in my next photo-shoot.
