Photos.

I began taking photo's for my newspaper cover. From looking at my research i realised that newspapers have both posed and 'action' photos. Therefore I have decided to take some photos of Rosie-Beth with a mannequin, i think this is a good idea as it shows the textiles environment, and would look good. Also it would hint to the reader what the story is about.
I will also take some photos of textiles students in a working environment, this will show the students in action and will make it clear all the the effort which the students are going to, to create successful garments in order for the fashion show to go on.

I took a few shots of Rosie-Beth with the mannequin, and i have also been in a few of these photos, as i am also involved in this fashion show and it shows that I have met with Rosie-Beth in order to write the article.
I have used a digital point and shot camera to take these photos, as it was easier for me access this, but if i have time i will take more photos using a SLR camera so that the photos are in good quality.

Here are some of the photo i took:

I like the classroom atmosphere in the background of this photo, as it shows the working environment.

I also think the use of the mannequin works well, it shows off that the article is about textiles and fashion

I think Rosie-Beth is posing a bit too much in this photo so it doesn't look natural enough, but i do like that Rosie-Beth looks confident which I think is a reflection of her confidence in textiles giving off a good impression of the school

If I decide to use this image I would crop it, as the bottom of the photo isn't needed and it has a date stamp on, which would look unprofessional on a newspaper cover.

I like that Rosie-Beth is laughing in this photo, because it gives the photo a positive feeling. However she is not looking at the camera, and the hand is blurred so I don't think this photo would be appropriate for as newspaper.
But as i do like the laughing effect I may use this photo to inspire some of my other photos.

I think Rosie-Beth's facial expression is most appropriate in this photo, as she both looks happy but serious at the same time

Once again I will crop the date stamp out of the photo.

I like that I am in this photo with Rosie-Beth as it makes the photos more personal and give the photo a community feel as it has more than one person in it, giving the connotations of team work.

However the lighting and the angle of this photo has made the picture unclear so it wouldn't be appropriate to use for my newspaper cover

Here's another picture i took of me with Rosie-Beth

I think this a better photo than the other as the lighting is improved and te picture is clear.

However I don't like the picture much, i think it would have worked better if me and Rosie-Beth were stood side by side instead of me kneeling.

I took some photo's of Georgina

looking as if she's sewing. I decided to do this because i thought it was a good idea to show students working.

I don't like the angle of this photo much and I think it would be a good idea to for Georgina to be smiling at the camera in the photo, so the photo gives a positive feeling.

I think this photo of Georgina sewing is much more successful than the last one.

I think this angle works well as you can see Georgina's face, and it looks as though she is really concentrating on sewing, and I think this really empathising the hard work the students are putting in to the fashion show, which is what I want to show on my newspaper cover.

I like the happy feeling this photo gives as

Georgina is smiling, however I feel the smile look too fake, when I'm looking for a more natural style.

Out of all the photo of Georgina I think her facial expression is best in this photo, I think the smile work really well and gives the photo a positive feel.

I think this photo needs brighter lighting, as it is fairly dark and I'd like the photo to stand out more, but I could edit this is a decide to use this photo so it shouldn't be much of an issue
