Photo-shoot

I am hoping to have the location of the shoot either around Shad Thames, A Skate Park or a local estate. I have chosen these three locations for various reasons. All images will be taken during the day so I will hopefully have the best lighting available for my images, however a lot of my decisions will depend upon the weather due to the fact that if weather isn’t right I won’t be able to get the shots I want so I will have to try and plan my shoots in advance according to the weather. I will aim to edit certain aspects of my images so certain factors may not be that crucial due to Photoshop; however I don’t want to edit too many aspects of my image as I still want it to be relatively natural.

Shad Thames

I have decided to possibly choose Shad Thames due to the numerous old fashioned and new features surrounding it, having a variety of different features will allow me to have a variety of choices to choose from. Having old features will allow the model to stand out more due to his updated style and appearance this juxtaposition will hopefully create for a good image, for example certain buildings and brick work are in my opinion would be a good location for my shoot . However having the model around new features won’t allow him and his image to stand out as much as the previous choice but possibly the contrast between new technology, which is usually denoted as being quite hectic and busy and the contrast between the mellowness of indie music may be a good enough juxtaposition.. Shad Thames is located right near Tower Bridge; I am unlikely to use this landmark in my magazine as I believe that it’s too cheesy and is better suited to another type of genre such as POP.

Skate Park

I have decided to possibly choose a Skate Park as my location due to the links between skating and indie music. Having it set in this location won’t allow my model to stand out as much as my other locations but will allow for a great mise en scene due to the numerous graffiti surrounding it. Also having the location as a skate park will allow me to take photos at different levels with greater ease due to the numerous skating apparatuses around the area. Having different levels will be very useful when editing my double page spread as my initial idea is to have a different perspective of the same image.     

Estate

I have decided to possibly choose an estate as it will be easily accessible to use for my shoot also due to the wide variety of estate types around the local area it will allow for variety and choice. An estate would be a good choice as it would be very easy for the audience to relate to and therefore making for a better image. Also if the model is well groomed and possibly wearing the shirt I choose the juxtaposition between a rough estate would be really good and allow both the model and the estate to stand out.
