Location / Props / Costume

I will be taking some images whilst I'm away in New York, images such as landscapes and New York streets to create extra detail to my products. I will consider using the images that I take as backgrounds, and use Photoshop to add my models into the picture to enable them to look as if they have gone to New York. Making my 'New York special' magazine more believable. I will also be planning on taking images at my college, with my friend Emily. I will be shooting her on a white background to make it easier when cutting the background out, to then see if her image will suit the front cover of my magazine. The props that I will be using in Emily's photo shoot will only be a tall lamp, this will be used to help get great poses out of her and to make the image look fun for my target audience. Lastly, I will also be taking images of my other friend Anna. This photo shoot will be taken place at her house, and will be using different props such as a bench to feature in the images. The reason why I am shooting at my friends house, is due to the fact that it will be include different sceneries such as a brick wall, plants featuring in the background as well as a bench which I won't be possible in a studio room. I thought that by having Anna lay/sit on a bench, would add extra detail in the image as well as help her pose differently to Emily. I will only be using the photography studio with Emily, this is because this worked well for both my media subject as well as my photography subject. This enabled me to do all the shoots in one, and allowed me more time to focus of how to style and angle my images to suit my front cover. I will have both Emily and Anna dress differently from one another, I will have Anna wearing jeans a pretty top with straight hair and have makeup on her face. Whereas, I will have Emily in black jeans and a shirt with her hair partly up and not straight, she will also be wearing makeup but not as much as Anna. My reasons for having the two dress completely different to one another, as well as the hair and makeup is because I want to try and represent two different teenage girls and the different fashion that women have, however, both look fashionable to go with my fashion side to the magazine. This technique should hopefully encourage and give ideas to other women to be different and style how they want to style to suit their personalities.
