Photos taken front cover, and interview pages

This photo was taken in Crystal Palace park. As you can see it encountered some problems. The photo seems very clear on the camera, but due to the poor quality of the camera these pictures were not viable to be published on to the magazine.






The idea with these pictures was to set out a decent background in terms of the scenery. Despite editing the pictures the quality was still not good enough. I feel I had the right mise en scene with the pictures. Unfortunately I didn't realise the picture quality was bad until I processed them.

Therefore, I took other photos with a smiliar idea. The following photos taken have a much better quality. However, I wasn't able to capture a better background as I would have liked. To counter this problem I decided to edit the pictures and crop them onto a different background.





The mise en scene in these first two pictures attempts to protray my artist relaxing as if he was on an interview show on television. The pictures were taken in my artist’s lounge where he normally practises his music. Before I took these camera shots I sat in a position where he wouldn't be looking directly at the camera. My idea was to try and create a live interview as if it were to be recorded on video. I began the interview and I had to get another friend to be the camera man for this process and take the pictures. I did this because the pictures seemed more realistic; the camera man took several shots with varied camera angles and I selected the best suitable images for the page. My artist struggled to focus on an empty space at first as I attempted to take the pictures and interview him at the same time. I took close-up shots of the interview. I preferred these shots as he was sat on a long sofa as you see on Jonathan Ross' interview show. To assist me in these shots I searched some still camera shots of celebrities on ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.’ This helped me picture a live interview set of images.



As you can clearly see, the qualities of the latter three pictures were much clearer. This made editing rather simple for my final pictures and poses. I would have liked to capture a more of a better background. This would be my only regret within these pictures. I have taken more camera shots, and I will present them with the edited designs for the magazine in the ‘Transformation Process.’
