Photography

For my music magazine I took part in a photoshoot to get the photographs which I needed for my Front Cover, Double Page Spread and my Contents Page.

I required a model for my photographs, which I had managed to get. The model will be placed in all three parts of my magazine. A model was beneficial for me so that the magazine looks proffessional, to tell the reader that the magazine is not cheap, as it uses sophisticated models for the magazine. The photographs below will be used for the front cover, contents page and the double page spread article, and is supposed to be a persona of Rita Ora, as she is the featured article. For the front cover and the double page spread photographs, the model wears the same outfit, so that they do not differ because it would complicate the reader. 

The time that it took for these photographs to be taken was approximately three hours each session, throughout the five day photoshoot production schedule. The reason why it took this long each time is because all of the equipment needed to be set up, such as the Green Screen, lighting etc. and I needed to take at least the same photograph more than once, so that if I wasn't impressed with the outcome of any of these photographs, then I have others to use as well, for back-ups. Another reason why it took this length of time is because I wanted my photographs to be perfect and in the right position, by using the 'rule of thirds' technique, taking extra time and care into them so that they were efficient. None of my photographs were taken outside of the green screen room, and in any other environment.

These are the photographs before they were edited onto my magazine:
