Photoshoot Plan 

Concept:  After looking at how Rankin take his photos in a studio I am going to have a go at it myself. I want to start by taking simple portraits so i can get used to the studio set up and all the equipment.

Location: I am going to take photos in the school studio using a white background. this location will allow me to completely control the lighting and look of the photos.

Lighting: I will test out different lighting setups so i can get used to the effect each of them can give. In the studio there is a soft box which can be used to get an even spread of light with minimal shadows. I will also use different spot lights with shutters to cast dark shadows on parts of the models face. I also want to test out the automatic wireless flash.

Camera settings: I will take the photos using the manual  expose setting and the manual focus setting on my lens so i can change them both for each photo to get the best quality.

Model/props: I will need a model for these portraits and i will also need coloured filters to do over the lights to create different effects.

For my final selection I choose a range of photos from the shoot. The first photo I took with a red filter over the light, other than than the exposure and contrast this image didn’t need any adjusting.

The next two photos I changed to black and white and upped the contrast, I did this to enhance her features and make the image more striking. I put two similar photos from this shoot which i edited the same in a series.

For the final image I edited I changed the colour from red to a pink colour, I chose this image because of the dark shadowed areas which contrast with the bright pink.
