TAKING PHOTOS FOR MY CONTENTS PAGE
To make the contents page more interesting, I wanted images of more than just Clayton. I decided to therefore take an image of a female duo that would be part of the 'new discoveries' section. I still wanted Clayton to wear the red and blue checked shirt, navy blue jacket and black jeans so that the theme seemed to follow throughout the entirety of the magazine. I took a number of images but chose my favourite 2 of Clayton to ask my target audience what their preferred photo was. I was happy with the first image I took of the females so decided to keep it.
Photo 1: Medium Close-up
For this photo, I wanted Clayton to relax a bit and show his more friendly and relaxed side. As I have a serious image of Clayton on the front, I asked him to smile and look off camera as if he was laughing at something in the distance. I was very pleased with the outcome of this photo as the colours are very vivid and the image is well focused. As the photo wasn't taken in-studio, the lighting wasn't suitable and therefore the image is very bright and there is a shadow behind him. If I use this image, I will manipulate it on Photoshop to alter the brightness and contrast.
Photo 2: 2-shot Medium close-up
I have decided that this girl group will be known as the 'Urban Artists' as this is one of the new discovery group names. I wanted the image to be taken outdoors as the clothing the females are wearing wouldn't have looked as effective in-studio. The lighting in this image is perfect as you can easily see the facial expressions of the duo. I like the tree behind them as it links to the name of the magazine as the word 'Native' has connotations of nature and the outdoors.
Photo 3: Long Shot
I really like this image of Clayton as the style of shot is very effective as we can see his entire body. He looks cool yet calm due to his relaxed facial expressions. The way I positioned him is striking and immediately draws attention as it is fairly powerful. The background is plain white but still looks effective as there is texture as well. This laid-back image will take pride of place on my contents page if it is chosen as favourite by my target audience.
