Instruction #1, chosen photos.
The reason i’ve chosen this image is because it captures how dull and lifeless Hillmorton is, this is because of the cold temperature and the old woman on the electric scooter, also i like the way the balloons are there as if they’ve tried to make it a happier place with them.
This image i took is of children biking home from school with there mother, i like this image because you...

Family Contact Sheet.
Lab Service Report.
The colour film i used was a Fujicolour X-TRA 400 the information/data sheet is found here.
The colour lab that i went to was boots, i found them to be very helpful in what i needed to know and for the range of services they have, you go into one of the stores and ask them to process the film if you’re processing a pushed film it’ll take a while longer (1 week) if you want it done in...
Conclusion.
Over all i found this project difficult, this is because i had to find locations to suit the type of magazine and also had to get my ideas across to the reader. In the end i thought my location worked well and i’m impressed with how it looks with the dramatic crops and the urban edit. The main reason i wanted urban for the editorial was because i planned to have skateboarder’s but...
Henley Workshop.
For the Henley workshop we went to the college and had a look around the site to see what locations we could find, then after that some fashion students came out then we took them to the locations while explaining on the way what we would like from then and how to work the location. These are the end product from the trip to Henley.
College Workshop.
For the college workshop we had to go out and take locations shots around the college, we did this to get an understanding of what we would need to do for the brief. For me this helped me get an idea of how we were suppose to do this by going to the location and taking pictures of the surroundings and also thinking about where the model would go once i had them there.
Publication layout.
For the publication i opened it up in In Design and then cropped the photos in photoshop then placed them into in design the only thing that i found annoying is that i had to re-edit them after cropping them so they would still look nice in the magazine. I think it works we because i have 2 pictures in the same location and they are placed at both sides of the A3 layout which creates a sort of...
Social Scene.
For my social scene i think things could’ve gone better, when i developed my film i realised that my film camera hasn’t worked very well and i only had a total of 8 photos to choose a final 5, some of them were nice and i’ve caught a moment of something happening, one of them is a man picking up and swinging his child around which is really nice in black and white, then in the...
Kitchen Photography.
For the kitchen documentary photography we used a 400 ISO black and white film pushed to 1600 ISO, this had a nice effect on the out come and made it feel more personal toward the kitchen staff in the pictures. I think that the shoot went well because i got some really nice shots of them at work and caught moments that i other wise would’ve missed if i was looking outside of my view finder,...
Evaluation of location shots.
I think that not all my locations look good without a model in them so i think personally i’ve done quite well because for all of them i’ve had quite nice and imaginative idea’s. The reason my locations are not that interesting is because i wanted to challenge myself with new ideas, the only problem with this is that ideas can turn into something else once you have the model...
Social Scene Research.
For my social scene i’m going to do the peace festival, i’ve chosen this because there is always a range of people and the fact that it’s suppose to be fun i’ll catch people having a good time and having fun, i’ll be shooting this with a 400 iso black and white film pushed to 1600 this will give it a grannie look to it. I think it’ll work well with black and white because it gives it...
Documentary Photography.
The photographer i’ve chosen to look into is Ed Thompson, the reason i’ve chosen him is that he’s quite young and he is one of the few that aspire me to go out and do documentary photography. The one of the royal wedding was shot really nice and creatively, theres one photo of a tent and a woman and a baby in there from this photo i get a sense that they’ve been waiting there ages and would’ve...
Final Shoot.
For my final shoot i’ve chosen to do the location at the hospital with a skater, some of my other idea’s for this location is that i’ll have one sitting down out of focus then behind them there’ll be another person doing a trick.
I this worked well, it was nice lighting and had a great atmosphere with everyone else there. The photos were nice and urban like i wanted, this...
Editorial Location.
For the editorial i wanted to do something to do with sport because thats what i think looks best in editorial and it would be a bigger challenge than just putting them in a skatepark, so i thought i’d go more for the urban look, the reason it’ll be editorial will be because there will be something there to show what they do, like a skateboard.
For this location i’ve taken...

Children's Location.
I found the children’s one extremely challenging because where would you be able to put them, i’ve looked at some adverts and magazines but they’re not that great. so i thought maybe a nice background and quite a close up of them.
This is one of my locations i thought that i could have a child with there hair blowing in the wind and a light house behind it, this would draw...
Men's Location.
For the men’s location i thought of more urban and just more manly, i did some research into magazines such as the Men’s Vogue and the Men’s lifestyle magazine. I think it worked quite well, to bring a model into might be a bit hard because i doubt you could involve the location into it much.
This location is just a abandoned building, this is the one where i wouldn’t be...
Women's Location.
For the women’s location i’ve been looking at some magazines like Vogue to get some idea where i could go for the locations. A lot of them didn’t interact with the location and just had bright colourful flowers in the background. So I decided to go to locations where there’d be something to interact with even if it’s just having a leg on it.
This is one of my...

My research will start with looking at the different magazines for the genres, the first will be women’s monthly magazine (things like Vogue and i-D), the next is editorial (such things as The Guardian or The...
