At the beginning of the year, I had to take practice photo’s after being told the basics of how to use a camera. This is one of the photo’s which I have taken.

This photo portrays my strengths and weaknesses. It shows that I can use the rule of 3rd’s correctly and that the colors in the photo are bright and eye catching however, the downfalls for this picture is that the picture is blurry and isn’t straight. The camera is on an angle which I feel if was straight then would have looked better.

This was another photo which I took as practice shots to get use to the camera.

This photo shows that the person in the photo is out of focus due to movement which is hard to capture without the picture going out of focus. The rule of thirds are used again and the background is more in focus on this picture.

After so many weeks of practicing and looking at how the camera works, I tried to take professional pictures which could be incorporated into my magazine. This picture shows how I have used the lightening to light up the face and clothing of the model as the picture is on a black back drop. A result of using 2 bright lights is that it causes shadows on certain parts of the body and makes the model’s eyes start to close. This picture represents the improvement made from the beginning of the year.

This picture is another picture which was captured. It shows that by using on light, the picture is too dark so one light wouldn’t be used for my magazine.The highlights of this picture is that it creates mystery. The face and the middle of the body is light up which shows of facial features, clothing art and no shadows apart from a little one at the top of the neck.

The photo’s which I have taken for my magazine shows a variety of different styles used. For example, this picture shows depth of fields. The main focus is on the guitar which makes the model go out of focus but still clear. I like this picture because it highlights the physical aspects of the guitar. Even though Liam is out of focus on this picture, you can still see his facial expression and features clear without having to strain.

This photo works really well as a photo because with the background being double, black and white it would fit with my magazine idea of Liam being ‘Baby Face Assassin’. The black and white background could represent more his rocker side to him where as the white would represent his innocent side. However, I don’t think I would use this picture in my magazine as the audience may not understand the intention behind the photo.
