photoshoot.

Here i present some photographs I've taken for the cover of my student magazine, I chose the best out of all of them. This picture are portrait images and they could be used as a background image of my front cover.I'd be really grateful if you would help me to choose which one will be more suitable for the front page of my magazine.

I didn't use any editing or photoshop so far. I prefer black&white photography as it looks more dramatic and different. Pictures were taken in the very late evening outside, therefore it was really dark. I didn't use any artificial lighting apart from the one that I could avoid, e.g. lights from the street, windows and cars. I also didnt use very strong flash, because I dont like the effect of it as it makes the face of the model look really shiny. I took this picture with the camera Canon 550D on a manual mode. I prefer this mode the most because I can control everything and change the setting however I want. However, it was quite hard to catch a good light with this mode because as I mentioned earlier it was really dark outside. I asked my friend to pose for me and I chose him because I believe he is not scared of the camera and he is not trying to look fake on the pictures. Although he had some experience of working with some professional photographers and I personally took pictures of him before as well. I believe I achieved a good result as I'm happy with the pictures I've taken and hope I would be able to choose the best out of all of them and use it as a cover of my student magazine.
