My project did go as planned because i got the model in a couple of weeks before the deadline so that everything wasn't left until the last minute. We didn't have to re-do any of the shoot because we made sure everything was perfect the first time we did it and that we had a variety of images to work with. I am happy with how the pictures turned out, however if we had waited until the new backdrop had arrived, then we could of got a few better quality pictures. I think the still life pictures are better because i have varied the angle of the object and took a lot more than i did with the model. Some of the pictures with the model are good, however the exposure wasn't quite perfect as a few creases are shown in the curtain. If i had to change something about my final images it would definitely spend more time with the model and we had limited time. I would make sure the images were correct and double check to make sure we had loads to work with. I also would of brought clothes in for the model to wear as the jumper she wore wasn't quite suitable for the vogue cover.

1. Vogue is a fashion and lifestyle magazine that is published monthly in 23 different national and regional editions by Condé Nast. Vogue uses models to advertise fashion to the worldwide nation. 
   As you can see, some of the magazine covers are shot in the studio and others are shot outside in scenic areas. I prefer covers being shot in the studio, because it highlights the details of the face more than outside. However outside shots give the photo more meaning and often it describes the season of the year.
   
   
   

    This photo is shot outside and it is a summer cover from the way she is dressing, the flowers in the background and because it says "Sensational Summer"
   

   

    The shots that i have taken have all been done in the studio. This is because the studio equipment is more highly advanced compared to outdoor equipment.

The images that have been taken are displayed on the website to give the viewers an insight of

• How the trainer looks
• The texture
• The shape
• The detail on and inside the trainer

By taking a variety of images from different angles and different places of the trainer, it is showing the viewers/buyers the detail of the Nike Janoski trainer so that the buyer knows exactly how it looks and they are happy with the product they have purchased.

Studio Lighting Setups

Studio Lighting Setups

This is the original setup for a standard shoot. The equipment including a SoftBox, a beauty dish and a backdrop (White, Black or Coloured). The model needs to be central in the photo shoot in order for it to be a good shot. However he or she doesn't need to stand face forward to the camera. Depending on the type of photo that you would like, determines how the model faces in front of the camera.

This is a different version of the original shoot. Props such as different clothes and objects can be added to the shoot to add a theme or subject to the photo. For example, having a model wearing River Island clothes in a shoot for the shop is ideal for the advertisement.
