Photographs I did not use

I decided not to feature this particular photograph in 'RECKLESS' as I believe that it does not appear professional. The location does not fit in with the genre of my magazine and lacks visual impact. The quality of the photograph is also rather poor as my model does not appear as if she is in focus. Thus, I organised a photo shoot in a studio, using the high key technique and positioning my model in an array of different poses. The reason for capturing my model in a real studio was so my photograph appeared professional and as if it could be featured in a magazine currently in the market as I wanted 'RECKLESS' to look realistic.

The reasons for not using this particular photograph are the similar reasons I applied to the image above. I believe that my model's outfit did not fit my magazine's genre of alternative music and therefore would not appeal to my primary audience of teenagers as my model is dressed too formally. Therefore, I took my model's outfit into consideration in the next photo shoot I organised.  I made sure that I was able to access professional equipment to make the photographs look professional.
