The Photoshoot

I have conducted a photo shoot to get the images for my magazine. I took a range of different photos as I wanted to see what would work and what wouldn't. I took the photos both inside and outside however the images weren't very successful.

This was the first image that I took, I think that the location and the position and facial expression really works however the lighting is of really poor quality so the image had to be lightened in photo shop also you can't see the shoes which was a really important part of the clothing so this image doesn't really work. When I took out the background it made the image lighter, I then lightened the image using the brightness tool however even when I changed the image on photo shop the photo still didn't work


I also took an image of a lad who was doing break dancing. I took the image outside as I wanted it to be like they were dancing against a wall. However due to the fact that it was outside I had to much direct sunlight in the shot so the image was far too bright.

I tried to darken the image using photo shop and I cut out the background however the contrast was really bad so the image didn't work. 

I also took a picture of a lad stood against a wall as I wanted this picture for the front cover however I also took this picture outside as i wanted a brick wall and natural sunlight however there was too much sunlight on his face so again I had to try and darken the picture.

I darkened the image and tried to change the contrast however it didn't work.

Conclusion
These are only a few of the photos however only a few actually came out well so I'm going to re-do the photo shoot as I would like the best images for the magazine as I would like it to look as close to professional as possible.
