Photo shoot for music magazine, and evidence

Photo shoot for music magazine, and evidence of manipulating the

photographs

I was my own model in my photo shoot, I used the photos for my

content page, front cover and double page spread.

Photos All my photos were

taken indoor, with a simple camera.

I chose to have my photos taken inside for better lighting. And to play around with shadows.

Photos

I took more photos and changed clothes and guitar to create a different image.

Editing for Front Cover I decided to use this photo

for my front cover.

I then started the editing by cropping the photo.

Editing for Front Cover

One of the reason I chose to shoot the photos inside, was the editing. This made it easier to get the right colours I wanted. I increased the contrast and the temperature of the image on Microsoft photo viewer.

Editing for Front Cover

This is what my final front cover looks like. I used the colours to match with the edited photo. The fact that I am alone in the photo also links in with this idea of guitar solos and rock.

Photos I took more photos for

other parts of my project such as my content page.

I decided to take my photos indoor , because I would edit them anyway.

Photos

I decided to use this for my content page photo.

I decided to edit it by cutting myself out of the photo, to put it on a plain surface.

Editing for my Content Page

I decided to edit my photo on “Indesign”, I started by drawing around the photo, then I cropped out the shape.

This gave me the final result the shape of my body out side the original background.

Editing for my Content Page

Before After

However I found that my photo looked out of place and the tone and colours of the skin did not go well

I therefore increased the colour temperature and the contrast to make the photo look more life like.

Editing for my Content Page This is my final content page I

used the same font and colour as my masthead to write the heading, to create a link with the two. The text box are also similar, the orange box is also used to attract attention and to create a frame. I kept this content page clear to make it look more relaxing and interesting.
