Photograph Choices

Following my photoshoot, I have narrowed down my images to a selection of which I feel are the most aesthetically pleasing and suitable for my magazine. I will include 3 of the following images:

OUTFIT ONE

Image 1

 Image 2

 Image 3

 Image 4

 Image 5

 Image 6

OUTFIT TWO

Image 7

Image 8

OUTFIT THREE 

Image 9

I believe that the images taken in 'outfit one' have turned out the best however I would like my magazine to contain variation and so will also include images with different outfits. Currently, I am deciding whether I would prefer a long shot or a mid-shot on my front cover. If I decide upon a long shot I will use image 1, 3 or 6 on my front cover however if I decide upon a mid-shot I will use image 3 or 4.

I believe image 9 will appear on my contents page where as image 7 or 8 may be used on my double page spread. However, I am unsure whether images 7 and 8 will be utilised at all as I am very pleased with the aesthetics of the first 6 images and consequently may use one of them and change the background colour on Photoshop.

My next step is going to be making a final decision on which image I will use on my front cover and begin cutting around it on Photoshop to then create another layer to allow for the masthead to fall behind my model's head.

Despite the fact that I am happy with the outcome of the above images, there were also images taken within my photoshoot session which have not made the final cut such as the ones below:

I feel as though the lighting on the above images is too dim and consequently makes my model's skin appear orange and top look too bright. Due to this I will not be including either of these images within my magazine.

On the other hand, I believe the lighting on this image is too bright as the model was facing the light I had set up within the photography studio. As a result, the lighting on her face appears as too much and ruins the effect of her make-up.

I will also not be including the above image within my magazine as it appears as though my model is mid-blink therefore making this photograph unsuitable. 

Finally, this image will also not be used within my magazine as the pose appears unnatural and uncomfortable which I believe is visible on the model's face.
