first photoshoot

Here is some of the pictures I have taken as a start to photography. I have taken 6 shots and angling the camera to create effect for the pictures.

 This picture has been taken using the two thirds rule. there will be a grid with two vertical lines. I have taken this shot making sure that the trees are in line with the lines. This is so that the I have successfully taken an image using this rule.

I have taken the shot of my model from a low angle, this is to show a different level. My model is looking at the camera and the shot is taken outside using no lighting.

I have taken this shot, with my model sat on the floor facing the camera. This is taken with the camera angled at a low point .

 This image is a medium close up which is slightly below eye level.

This image is angled upwards towards the model, with the model facing towards the camera.

Photographic deconstruction

The photograph that has been shot is an image of Selena Gomez, who is known for acting and singing, she is from the pop genre of music. The shot has been taken with the background out of focus where as Selena is in focus; this is to show that she is the main feature of the photograph. The shot is close up of Selena Gomez; Her body is angled away from the camera, while her face is turned towards the camera. Lighting has been used which is directly lit on her face, this is trying to create light in the picture as the picture background is quite dark. The lighting seems to be natural and is trying to create some light in the photo to brighten up the picture that has been taken. The setting even though it its blurred is natural woodland and objects which are oriental styled. The make up which is face is minimal except for her eyes. Her eyes are the main feature which is drawing the audience in, due to the make up used which highlights the main feature of her face, yet its still being simple and natural. This suggests that she is a natural beauty, which is shown in this simple shot. However, even though she is being shown to be natural and innocent, her mouth is slightly parted seductively, giving the illusion of hidden depths.
