RAW IMAGES

This is the photograph that I plan to use for the front cover of my music magazine. It is one that I have taken myself. When taking this picture I had a mysterious look for the model in mind, so that on a quick glimpse of my magazine front cover, by passers will be encouraged and inticed to try and recognise the artits on the front cover.

This is the photo I intend to use for my contents page. I alligned the photograph to the right so that I could have information on what is in the magazine beside the model

This one of the photographs I am going to use for my Double page spread. I want to use this photograph along side the original front cover photograph to represent the artist in the photograph coming out of the shadows and into the limelight.

EQUIPMENT I USED

The following blog post will tell you about the equipment I used whilst taking my photos.

CANON EOS 400D CAMERA

 

This was the camera I used to take my pictures.

BOWENS GEMINI ESPIRIT FLASH


 This was the source of light onto my models. whilst taking my pictures it was placed on the left side of the models.

BOWENS RADIO TRIGGER


 This radio trigger was the device that provided the flash on my model. To help me take more precise photos the radio trigger provided a red dot on the camera lens. This red dot had to be in line with the models eye for a picture to be taken which helped me to take more focussed pictures.

60CM SOFT BOX

 the soft box went around the Bowens gemini Espirit flash to give the light a softer and more cleaner shine that would appear to reduce the amount of spots or wrinkles the model had.

CIRCULAR REFLECTOR

 

The circular reflector was used to reflect light from the Bowens Gemini Espirit flash back onto the model to create a more high-key lighted effect.
