Photo-Shoot Plan

Who – A male 17 year old – My boyfriend.

What – A photo-shoot of my boyfriend gaming, in his car and on his motorbike.

Why – This photo-shoot is taken to capture a teenage boys lifestyle that society stereotypes to be. It shows what his identity is likely to be and what he (his age group) are known to do in their life.

Where – At my house and on the street roads of St. Brelade.

How was the photo taken – For the gaming photos , using LED lights for a glow effect and a spot light to create more light in the room was how the photos are seen. Camera settings were used at a low exposure and 400/600 ISO was used. For the car images, a light inside the car was used to mainly pin point the objective that I was photographing. A high ISO – 1600/3400 was used to actually see the image as it was low light in the day as well as a low exposure – 1/50 – 1/40. For the motorbike photos the same camera settings applied as it was low light in the day. A single street light was used to create a silhouette figure of the bike and my model. (all black).

When – Late evening / 22nd and 23rd of January

Editing Techniques Shown

For both motorbike and car images I changed them into black and white photographs. I increased the contrast levels and either increased or decreased the level of black or white depending on how much you could see the image. I also used the dodge tool to emphasis the light features in the face for the car photos and the highlights of the motorbike.

Changing the vibrance level of the picture increased the glow that was coming off the LED lights in the background outside of the image. The light coming off the monitor in front of his face projected a white glow on the front of his face which I lowered in highlights and shadows in adjustments in photoshop.
