Mock Photo Shoot 1 Practice photo shoot in Hyde Park and surrounding area in order to establish an idea of the poses and backdrops which I intend to use for my magazine.

This photo is similar to the photo I plan to use in my magazine. I will direct the models to look either directly at the camera or to look at one another. I plan to use dark colours to contrast the light of suburban lifestyle, highlighting my chosen artist as different from what we already know and creating a more vibrant photo subject. I will probably take my photos against a more interesting backdrop; I think that a photo-shoot in a less urban setting would be effective since my chosen genre is versatile, but I like the idea of the model posing with one leg against the wall. I plan to use photoshop as an assistant tool in order to widen my skills, but I am likely to also incorporate features of other photo editing software available.!

Although I like this photo I think it is an inappropriate choice for my magazine since the artist is unclear. However, I like the contrast of the bright red of the phone box to the dark of its inside and the model. I also like the way in which there is a reflection present, here the reflection is of a tree, I plan to incorporate the idea of reflection into my final photo- shoot.

Here the model is posed with a natural backdrop, I like the idea of the signpost since it gives the photo a location - making it more accessible to viewers. Also, the model appears almost as a silhouette which adds mystery and depth to the artist since their character is not entirely revealed in the photo. Therefore, viewers would be encouraged to read about the artist to give them an identity.
