Main Task: Unmanipulated Photos

This task is going to allow me to group the photos that I took from various photo shoots and help me decide which ones I am using and for what. There will be some images I will not use this will also be displayed along with why I didn't choose them similarly I will do the same for photos I am using and I will include why I am using them.

Photos I Am Using
Front Page


I am going to use this image of the subject as my front page main image. One of the reasons for this is that the subjects is giving I contact initially giving contact to the audience making them feel some how drawn in. The Non Verbal Communication (NVC) of the image allows me to grasp that the Facial expression of the subject is relaxed, bold and confident. The costume that he is wearing is a hoodie and Jeans which are notoriously seen with the image of hip-hop. There is High Key Lighting.

Double Page Spread


This is the image I am going to use as my main image for my double page spread. A reason for this image is that the subject body language is relaxed allowing the audience to feel chilled whilst reading, the facial expression shows the emotion of warmth as he is slightly smiling making more interesting for the target audience. This image also corresponds with the Hip-Hop genre allowing to be a suitable for use as the DPS.





These images will be placed pn the bottom right of my DPS I will make the black & white and resize them also I am going to add a white stroke around the 3 images. The one with his hood up im going to flip it horizontally to suit my purpose and also resize to fit the rest of the images.


Contents Page



This is one of the images I am going to use for my contents page. I think this picture is strong as the medium long shot has a calm body language and the image depicts what kind of image i was looking for, with this image I am probably going to crop and resize it.



The image above is going to be featured in my contents page this photograph is a two shot of the subjects, I chose this image as the subjects are on there way to a video shoot this can be linked to a story on the contents page as well. This image also suites the young hip-hop look as they are wearing baseball jackets and one is wearing sunglasses.



This is one of the images I am going to use for my contents page. There is high key lighting used to highlight the subject and make her stand out more, this also relates to the boldness of the Hip-Hop culture, the subject is not looking directly at the camera but her NVQ is innocent relating to the Hip-Hop fans that are more like this.

Photos I Am Not Using



This medium long shot is one of the images I will not be using this image is that I don't like the way my subject is arching his back as it is simply not what I am going for, however this image is good as the subject has eye contact and is highlighted with high key lighting.



The image above is another image I will not be using as it was one of those images that looked better in my head, this shot failed as I couldn't get the right position even after several attempts from laying down to try and get the right position. Another reason that I am not using this image is that it is not very clear making the potential audience likely to get distracted.



I liked this image but I am not going to use it the main reason is because the hand gesture showing 'rap hands' is stereotypical and looks quite awkward in the shot, but besides this the medium shot is strong and it uses high key lighting to highlight the subject more.



There were some issues with this picture in resulting me in not choosing this image, the first reason I didn't use this is because the subjects hands get in the way of her face connoting that she is shy this can be good as it get the target audience that maybe shy sometimes, but this is not what I want.
