College Magazine Photos

Shooting Plans

Things needed for this shoot:

-Model

-Camera

-Tripod (not necessarily needed)

-Costume

-Lighting

I have decided to shoot this in school because this is a college magazine therefore having the school as the background will be good because we can see the schools environment and maybe pick off of something about the college for instance the good relationships between the students and teachers. For this shoot I will be shooting a variety of shot so that I can get choose between varieties to use in my magazine giving me more options in what pictures to use instead of having limited pictures. For the front cover I will be shooting a medium long shot of one person in the frame.

Some of The Best Photos

Image 2: I quite like this photo and I think I could use this for the front cover the only problem with this photo is that I can see a student in the background. For improvements I could reshoot the photo again but without the student in it this time.

Image 5: this photo is a medium shot of two students. The requirement for the front cover is a medium shot of one person therefore I can’t use this for my front cover. Instead I could use this in the contents page as a sub image. I think this photo looks really nice. The photo doesn’t look too overexposed and it’s not too dark.

 

Image 7: in the photo you can just see him standing in the corridors in school. I don’t think this would be suitable for the college magazine front cover. It doesn't look professional; it’s more like a random photo of a student in the corridors.

Image 8: I have chosen to use this photo to be my front cover because this photo is a medium long shot which was what I needed to use for the front cover. Also the direct mode of address and the whole look of the photo make this a good picture to be a front cover of the magazine.

What can be improve about this image is retaking it but without the sun ray in it but this can be easily sorted out by going on Photoshop and cloning that part of the photo so that the sun ray isn't there anymore.

Image 11: I won’t be using this photo because the photo looks like she is just standing there behind a white wall having her arms folded behind her. It doesn't look that good and professional. Also the lighting in the photo isn’t really that good because it kind of looks a bit dark. 

Image 14: I think I could use this photo in my magazine because the composition is good. However he isn’t directly looking at the camera so I could always use this photo as a sub image in the contents page for instance. He is a holding a school folder. The use of this prop makes it look like it is about a school because the folder reminds us that.

Image 15: in this photo the sunlight make the picture look really bright and the composition of the image would make a good front cover of the magazine however because of the use of props in this image, (the camera) it doesn't really look like it’s a college magazine. It kind of does however it looks more like a photography magazine than a college magazine.
