1. Unit 57: Photography and Photographic Practice
Task 3 Selection of final images & review
2. Aim of Shoot
I was trying to achieve a music style
photos that represented bands and
solo singers that I could use in my
music magazine.
3. Description of shoot
This is one of my favourite images
from my shoot because she is
posing naturally and it doesn’t
look fake or staged.
I wanted to do it outside for natural
light and there’s a lot of different
scenery which will make good
background. It was in the ‘Three
Sisters Way’ and it was end of
September 2013.
My model posed in different
settings whilst walking through the
path and I just kept taking photos
whilst we were walking and this
was taken when I shouted her
name which is why it’s look so
natural. The settings I used are
1/1250 seconds, f/5.6 and ISO –
1600.
5. Final Image
I chose this image
because she looks
natural, there is a leading
line which she is at the
end of. This image is also
rule of thirds on the right. I
edited it to improve the
colours and make the girl
stand out more.
8. Final Image
This image has been edited by
cropping it and making it use
rule of thirds. I did this to make
it have more open space on
the left. Before I edited this the
position wasn’t quite right
because the model was too far
away therefore I cropped it to
zoom in. I like this image now
because I have changed the
colour to make it more
focussed.
11. Final Image
I chose this image because it
looks like a sunrise and it has a
good deep depth of field. I like
how I edited because it is in
black and white, I make it look
like it has a sepia effects. The
guitar stands out and I have
selected it and changed the
colour. This is to adjust the
lighting.
14. Final Image
I chose this image because
they look like they are staring
at something in the distance. I
like this because I like this
colour than original because
the original doesn’t look like
professional or for music
purpose. Weaknesses of the
original was the composition
therefore I cropped it to
include what I wanted.
16. Rejected Images
I don’t like this image because it
has a bad composition and
because of the setting. It is not in
context with music idea and all
looks bit misplaced.
17. Rejected Images
I don’t like this image because of
the lighting that it is too bright and
there’s people in the background.
I don’t understand why the models
are facing backwards which is not
relevant to music.
18. Rejected Images
I don’t like this image because the
background doesn’t make sense
for the purpose and also the
model wasn’t ready but if the
model was ready, I still would
reject it because of the
background. Also the people can
walk past at any point, ruining the
shot.
19. Aims for next project
I learnt how to use rule of thirds effectively to create positive image, I
also learnt how to use leading lines and create a good depth of field
by using my camera manual settings. I took a lot of images and some
I wasn’t happy with however I used a lots of techniques in Photoshop
to manipulate these and make them more focussed and for music
purposes.
I will consider the settings in more details if I did this shoot again
because some of them are not appropriate and did not work. I would
make sure the models were clear on what they needed to do as
sometimes they were unsure.
