Candidate name: Theme: Music Magazine Portrait Photo Shoot

Predicted final outcome

The aim of my photo shoot will be to produce a series of photos that would be eligible for a magazine, 10 of these photos will be selected as a my final outcome.

Reasons for selection of theme (including inspiration from the work of others)

The theme I have chosen to do is portrait, this is because portrait photography is very popular when it comes to magazines.

The photo imaging equipment and medium that will be used and why

The camera I will be using is the Nikon D3100 or the Canon 7D, I will most likely be using a tripod as well, I will bring a normal zoom lens and a Canon EF 1.8 50mm prime lens.

Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the visual message

One of the techniques I will use is rule of thirds. This will. Help me to make the person I’m photographing become the centre of attention in the image.

Location of shoot

These are the types of music magazines my photos will be used for. It’s more of a classy style of magazine were the men are in suits and women in dress’s. There is a washed out look to the magazines were the eyes seem to be the brightest colour, this makes it look more formal and professional. The location of the shoot will most likely take place at my house but if I decide to take images that need a background I will either go to Manchester or to the forest near my house.

Risk and health and safety considerations

I will complete a risk assessment
