Photoshoot of DJ

Publish a blog post evaluating your photo shoot and explain why you have chosen to include these original images on your website. 

i believe my original photos are successful in getting across the fact that my model is a DJ. this is because i have used appropriate props such as the headphones and the mobile phone to make it seem as though he makes his music using his phone and other technology. the headphones around his neck make him look passionate about music as it portrays the sense that he listens to music often and he enjoys immersing himself in music. i am happy with the clarity of the shots because all the photos are in focus which makes them look more professional. i am also happy with the variety of shots because i made sure i didnt take all the images from the same angles/distance away from the model. as a result, when using these images on my website the audience may not be able to tell that they have all been taken on the same day in the same location. i intend to edit the images and put effects on them to add to the variety and make them look more interesting and different. this will also make them stand out on my website. Lastly, I am happy that i used the mellow, warm toned light in some of the shots to give a different effect.

i chose to include these original images out of all the ones i took because these have the most elements in them which tell the audience he is a DJ. for example, some of the images i took he was not wearing props such as the headphones and the guitar, and didnt have his mobile phone in his hand. therefore, this wouldnt get across to the audience that he was passionate about music. i believe that i have chosen shots that show different facial expressions, angles, props and positions so they dont all look the same as one another. 

On the contrary, i think i could have improved my original images by taking them in different locations, for example outside by a wall, in a field to show he's a free spirit, in the street at night or in a bustling city. this would have added to the variety of shots and would be more interesting for the audience to look at. i also could've taken photos of Zach wearing different outfits because then the audience wouldn't guess that the photos were all taken at the same time. furthermore, i could've put a coloured transparent film over the camera lens to make the photos look effective and different.

If i was to do this photoshoot again, i would put more thought into where the shadows would look best as i think some of the images look slightly less effective due to the shadows covering the DJ's body. also, i may find it difficult to edit the shadows out of the images if i wanted to.
