This is my favourite photo that i have taken. I took it by using natual daylight mixed with artificial light and the flash from the camera. This gave a nice effect to the picture and it is really light and nice. My model was standing against a white background and near a window with natural daylight streaming through. We used a hairdryer to make it look like her hair was blowing and i think i achieved this well. I used a professional camera (which belonged to my friends dad) to take this photo, however, for the rest of my photos i used a different camera, therefore the photos are a mixture of different qualities. I took a few different shots with this mise-en-scene, but the shot above is the best one that came out of the photoshoot, therefore i chose it for my double page spread.

On photoshop i have not edited it much, i have only made it slightly lighter by increasing the brighteness.

I took this photo by using lighting mixed with natural light and using a professtional camera, like the photo above, so i achieved a professional shot, in my opinion. The photo was taken mid-day and is very light. I am lucky i was able to borrow a professional camera and light. The photo is an extreme close-up, therefore i thought it would be suitable for the front cover. I edited the photo quite alot, but i only increased the brighteness on photoshop and slightly increased the contrast, so the light was in one corner. I like this photo because it is similar to my DPS photograph, however, the two photos are very different to the photos on my contents page, although this could be a good thing as it shows variation.

I took this photo on my original photoshoot. I did not use any lighting and just put my model against a white wall, therefore the quality of the shot was not very good. I used my own digital camera to take the photo, therefore the quality is very different to the rest of my photos, like the two above, for example. The lighting is not very good and the picture is very dark, in comparisson to my other photos. I did not use this because of that reason.

This photo was taken at night time using a digitial camera. My model was standing by a tree in the woods and it was hard to get a decent shot because it was so dark. The flash makes the focus of the picture only on the model and the tree, and the rest of the image is almost in total darkeness. I decided to keep this photo and use it in my contents page because it is very different to the rest of the images i have used, such as the above for example. The darkeness of this photo contrasts with the lightness of the photo above and the shot is from quite a long distance.
I did not edit this image on photoshop because i didn't think it needed editing because it was already extremely dark and editing it would not make much of a difference.

I took this photo for my contents page. My model was standing against a brick wall in an alley, though i noticed graffitti on the wall but i thought this gave quite a good look for my photos. We did not use any lighting and relied on only natural daylight. I used the school camera to take this photo and i took loads of different shots, but in the end i decided to use this one for my contents page because i like the pose and the shot. This photo is also one of my favourites in my magazine because the background is really different to all of the others i have used in my other photos, and gives variation.

On photoshop i edited this image slightly, just to make the colours more vivid and stand out. I did this by using the 'autofix' tool.

This is the photo i was using for my front cover. This shot was easy to do because i did not use any additional lighting and my model was wearing a casual outfit - a plain white t-shirt. We took the photo against a plain white wall. I used my own camera to take this shot, and the image quality is different from the other images, especially my double page spread, which was a problem. I tried to make this image more similar to the one i am using in my double page spread by editing it on photoshop to make it lighter and brighter.

On photoshop i increased the brighteness and contrast and cut out some of the background to make it plain white. I used the clone stamp tool to get rid of spots and patches of light on the skin. I did not acheive my desired result and i think the final image looks 'over edited' and is too obviously photoshopped, which you would not see in a professional magazine, such as my style model 'Q'.
