Research and Planning: Headshots






These head shot's in my opinion, are very clear and show detail of the background and foreground. I didn't use a flash on any of the pictures but it was quite high lighting in the room whilst i was taking the pictures. The first one is my favorite when it comes to the positioning of the frame, I like the shot type also.

Research and Planning:Location Shots



 The location of this shot is in the studio, it shows the professional microphone which suggests to me that the location is in the studio. It would be interesting to use this location as it would imply that my model is a singer and not a DJ. It would cancel out any chance of confusion.

 The location of this picture looks like its in some kind of arena or a ballroom. Its quite the paradox image to the band as it isn't reflecting their image. They are mostly dressed in black and the background is using high key lighting .





The location of this image looks like a picnic in the park scenario. They are positioned well within the frame to show clearly the location used, for example the tree isn't blocked nor is the bench. This location would be interesting as it is different to what is expected and isn't too much and in your face.

The location for this picture is in the middle of a what seems to be a busy street. The shot would be interesting to use as it is right in the action, it looks like a member of the public has unexpectedly taken this. By using this location it creates a sense of realism and doesn't show them as a celebrity.



The location of this shot is in a barbers. This location shows the group as proper males due to using a barbers, using a female model (which i am) wouldn't work as a barbers isn't really a females usual surroundings and it may look quite stupid. However i think this location works well as it is very different yet very suiting to the band.
