Photograph planning

Taking photographs

Before taking my pictures for my magazine we had to learn how to take good photos to make my magazine look as professional as possible.

We used a Canon Eos 400d digital camera
Bowens Gemini flash unit with softbox
Radio trigger -

We also had to learn about lighting and where the best paces are to take pictures. The images were saved to a compact flash card.Then loaded onto the computer into Adobe photoshop.We was also shown how to edit our pictures in photoshop changing a range of faults with the picture for example the brightness of the picture clearing up uneven skin and adding effects.

My Model
I decided that for my front cover i was not going to get them a costume as she is already a student so she is not actng anything out.I nly used one prop which was a book to shop my model reading a book.I wanted my picture to be set in front of the school lockers.
