For my photography planning my

images needed to be stylish and

sophisticated, due to the high end

status of the magazine, I made sure

the images taken were high quality.

In the following

slides, you can see

how I have used the

rule of thirds in my

image as well as

making sure the

positioning is correct.

I've also included

some of the photos

that I used and the

one’s that I chose

To not use.

HEAD ROOM

This is the

image used

for my front

cover, I made

sure that I left

a lot of

headroom for

the image so

I could place

the magazine

title directly

above the

model.

MOVING SPACEThe space below the model in the

image allows him to move into this

space in a realistic situation. Giving the

picture more effect and creativity.

The space left

next to the

model can be

used to put text

next to the main

focus, therefore

combining

moving space

and text space

together.

This picture has

both moving

space and head

room for a

possible title and

article beneath.

RULE OF THIRDSIn my images I set up the camera to use The rule of

thirds. It’s useful tool for photographers, it helped me

improve the composition of my photographs.

Dividing my frame in to thirds both vertically and

horizontally helped me position important elements of my

photograph like centring the image and making sure that

the model is the focus of the image and stands out.

This particular image for my double page spread

was not centred, therefore I used the rule of thirds

to help with the composition and position the image

properly so text could flow around the outside of the

model.

TEXTUAL ANALYSIS

For my images I decided

to use a series of

techniques when

photographing the image

and editing.

To begin with I used a

pose shot with the

model, making sure the

position was correct and

the facial features

matches the image.

I decided to go for a

medium close up with this

image because you can

see his expressions as

well as his posture and

style.

This is image is shot in a

studio, I used not

background to make him

the focus of the shot. The

image represents what

the target audience

aspires to be for example

his clothing, hair and

attitude.

This image is a live shot, it’s taken while the artist is

performing and it gives a great expression of his

attitude and style as a whole. The integration of the

image shows how he is the focus and how his power

and dominance stands out amongst the rest.

The image is also centred and once again I

used the rule of thirds technique to position

the shot correctly.

Contact sheet – I took several images during the photo-shoot with Taylor, I needed a wide variety of images to

choose From, so I asked him to try out lot’s of different poses until I could pick several images for different

Elements of the magazine, as you can see from above in the left top corner are the images I decided to use for
