Today’s photography session

In today’s photography session, I learnt about planning different types of camera shots when taking pictures of my chosen person, the positioning, lighting and focusing the camera by using IOS and aperture. I also learnt the proprotion of how a standard picture should be taken for example where the eye level should be. This helped me think about the types of shots in different lighting when I come to take pictures for my magazine, especially my front cover so when I come to planning, I would know what sort of lighting I would like to have and what looks more effective on the person I would be taking pictures of. 
We got put into groups and got given a camera to play around with to adjust the lighting and to find out how the pictures in the room with full light would turn out. Then my and group and I took pictures of the photography teacher to experiment with different poses.

I then played around with one of the images by editing it. By doing this, it gave me ideas and practice to when I come to edit, if so, my pictures for my magazine. What I have done in this image is I set the effect of the picture to black and white than went over the person (who was the photography teacher) to go back in its original colour. This looks effective as the person is in colour in a black and white background which shows all the attention is on the model which is ideal for a magazine front cover.
