Photographs to be taken

The purpose of this photo shoot is for a music magazine. I will be taking photographs of one girl who will be the face to an indie band.My photo shoot will take place around college and in the photography studio using props like a guitar and glasses.My aim for the photographs in the studio is to look professional with a plain white background so the girl stands out.

Location of Photo shoot

Date & time of photo shoot

18th February 2014 at 9am.

Equipment & Props needed

Casual, every day clothing and pops like a guitar, and sunglasses.

Techniques that will be used

I will be using depth of field with the background being blurred and the foreground being clear. I will experiment with this using the manual settings on the camera.

Place photos of a similar style here

This is an example of depth of field. The girls in the foreground are clear and the trees and bushed in the background are blurry

How light quality can be used to help convey the visual message

Pictures taken outside will use natural light however pictures taken inside will be using staged lighting. Its effective to take pictures outside if you want a natural feeling to the photograph, but for pictures like the front cover, its effective to use a photography studio where you can control the lighting. Different locations will change the way the light exposes the photo.

Health and safety considerations

I will have to consider people will be careful with the wires and lights in the photography studio in case anyone trips over the wires and injures themselves.
