Further Sample images

These are further sample images that I have take for the front cover, double page spread and to go alongside the article. From these images I will choose the most appropriate ones to feature in my final production piece. Through the use of natural light plus artificial light, I have created a studio-like background, which would be typical for a Harper’s Bazaar beauty shoot, as the focus should be the model rather than the extravagant props in the background.  Through the use of a variety of angles and shots, I think I have created a diverse range of images suitable for a Harper’s Bazaar replica piece. 

Model and image planning

First draft images

I originally took these photos with the intention of using them for my final design piece. However, on reflection I found that the images were too similar to one another as they were all medium shot images with the model wearing the same top in each one, which doesn’t follow the codes and conventions of the images in Harper’s Bazaar. Therefore, I have used these images as first draft images, as they did give me a sense of what poses to use, lighting, colours and how to edit them.  In order to improve the images for my final production piece, I will retake the pictures with the model in various different poses, taken from different angles and distances. In addition to this, I’m going to vary the outfits that the model wears, along with hairstyles and make up to show variety and represent the spectrum of beauty products.
