Photography Lesson

Yesterday, we had a lesson about photography and photoshop and how to take photos that look professional for our magazines. Here are some things that I learnt.

How to book the photography studio

1.Go to the art office

2.Book with a technician 

3.Let the media teacher know it is

4.After use, go back to the technician and they will lock the room for you

We are also not allowed to have food or drink in the photography studio. I also learnt that there is lighting in the media department if I need it.

Hints and tips about photography

I learnt some useful do's and don't in the lesson also. Here are some of the most useful ones:

Do's

•   Smooth the edges after cropping in photoshop

•   Experiment with depth of field and reflection

•   Keep Mise-en-scene in mind - props, pose, hair, clothing etc.

•   Have at least 4 photos throughout magazine

•   Use SLR camera for best quality

•   Keep style consistent 

Don't's

•   Don't put an image in the middle of the double page

•   Only crop when absolutely necessary

Key Considerations

These are some things I need to consider when planning my photography.

•   Lighting

•   Mise-en-scene

•   Background

•   Clothing/pose

•   Models (need to represent the genre of music)
