Practice shots

Before taking my final images i decided to take some practice shots. This was to help my models to feel comfortable and confident having their photos taken. This was also to ensure the lighting was right. This helped me to see which camrea angle was most suitable and whether i was standing in the right place when taking the photo.

 I decided to try out having a guitar in the image. This was because rock music is usually accociated with intruments.  However i decided not to use this image as it is an accoustic guitar rather an electric which is the type most used.










This is another image i took to practice my final shot. Although the background is completly plain and the camera position and angle is good the way in which the models are standing was not quite right. They look almost next to eachother. Usually the way the models stand is in a triangle shape showing their role within the band. The female on the left is also standing to far to the left forming a gap in between the band which does not look very good.

 

This image is of the models for my posters at the bottom of the magazine. The postition of the camera seems to high up and slightly tilting over the two girls. The lighting is also to dark although this couple be edited on adobe i re took the shot with a light on on and it looked much better.







This image of another poster. This is of a male rock artist. The camera angle seems slightly tilted, however the lighting is good. I decided not to use this image as his facial expression does not look right for the front cover of a magazine.


I found taking practice shots very helpful and had i not taken them i would not have had a variety of images to choose from and also i would not have ffound fault in my images.
