After our initial photo shoot, we were to choose our nine best images, labelling them with hashtags that conveyed the camera setting used, a denotation and a connotation each. This allowed me to reflect and understand how successful my photography was at conveying an emotion/message/narrative. My favourite image in the end is probably the photo in the tree, second from the left on the top row of my mood board. This is due to it’s clear, central framing with a dramatic low angle as well as the contrasting darker colours of the model’s suit standing out against the pale branches and sky, also with a slightly high aperture to really bring the model into focus without looking too forced or unnatural. Being able to capture and identify the intended mood in this way will be a useful when photographing my star in a music magazine.
