First photoshoot

After I researched into other school magazines, I done my first photo shoot thinking about the model's appearance and the location. My aim was to capture a portrait image which was placed in the right location to avoid distraction from the model. It was important to take the picture at an appropriate time so that the lighting worked well with the models face. 

Evidence:

I took more than 67 photos at different angles and compositions suiting the lighting. I tried to use her voluminousness red curly hair to penetrate the sunlight to contrast light and dark on her face to give her a complexion. However, one thing I need to improve is the mise en scene so that everything within the frame is relevant. 

For example, in this image although she is placed so the sun is hitting her, the things behind her such as the railings and part of the flowers are irrelevant. They take focus away from the model and don't suit the theme however if this was cropped so there is only part of the wood showing the overall image would be more suitable. 

In the same way, behind the protagonist there is unwanted items such as a clock, window and a painting. However, if this shot was taken exactly the same in a more isolated area in portrait it would be successful through the light and the angle that the medium close up is shown at.
