Second Shoot Contact Sheet

Last week we went into town to get some photos for our double page spread for my music magazine. I had Ollie as model and felt like he did a good job to represents my genre well of Britpop. We took the photos in town and I think where we took them was good for my genre of a urban / back street area.

Below our the photos that I got from the shoot….

I am happy with the photos that I got from the shoot they are all in good focus and have the right lighting. I feel like I have got a good verity shots, angles and locations so I will have plenty to chose from. I made sure that we got lots of photos during the shoot so I had a big amount to choose from. As I feel from the past shoots I hadn’t got enough photos. What we did was in each location that we went to we tried to get 10 – 20 photos. With every photo slightly changed such as the angle, lighting, pose and distance.

I decided to bring a fish eye along with me to the shoot to try an get some different shots in the locations we went to. I used a fish to add more effect to some of the shots and thought that these could be used else where in my magazine. The photos that I got with the fish eye probably won’t be good enough for one of the main pages of my magazine, however I have thought that maybe I could make a album cover with the fish eye photos for an extra part of the magazine and to advertise it inside. However, from looking back at these shots I noticed that in most of them the full fish eye was not shown which is quite annoying but there are a few shots that I can use.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot ….

I like these photos the most because I feel like they are good for my magazine and genre. The backdrop for the photos I feel are good and have that urban backstreet effect that I wanted. I think that some of them will be especially be good for my double page spread as they have lots of plain backgrounds where I can picture having writing around my model.

From doing this second shoot I have got more for my magazine that can be used for my double page spread. I am happy with the shots that I got and know what I can work with.
