KAINAT'S MEDIA STUDIES BLOG

My photoshoot did'nt cost me much as many things like make-up, accessories were half of the mine and half of them were brought my the models themselves. Some of the Props that were being used in the shoot were from my home. The thing that costed me was one or two lipsticks that i brought for the indoor shoot.

 Before clicking pictures I took inspiration from some of the googled photographs to gain more ideas about my photography. By looking at these pictures I got an idea about what type of facial expression my model should have or what type of dressing is required. From this I focused on the make-up and other things such as accessories as well. These are some of the inspiring photos that i focused on: I clicked different shots for my content page as well. I highlighted as many pictures as possible to define the exact meaning of my magazine. They all were shot from the potrait lens as i had to focus the type of makeup being done on the model's face and the things that are used during make-up such as make-up brushes.These potrait images inspired me to click these types of photos:

 I firstly sketched my layout for the cover page as it is easy to design afterwards on the software. By sketching I gained more ideas to make it more appealing for my audience. I added many coverlines to attract my audience as it is a beauty magazine and it should be enchanting. Different colours were used to make it more captivating. Not only I sketched it for my cover page but I also worked on my content page. I added some interesting names to my contents and by placing the pictures and numbers on it, it turned out an appealing content list for the audience.

  I had to plan my schedule before the shoot. I informed all the models before the time as they might be busy with their work. Secondly I had to shoot during sunlight so I had to adjust my both the shooting time and my classes time. I usually have my classes in morning time and so my location was my own school and so the models were my friends. It took me 3 days to shoot for my magazine. 10TH MARCH-WEDNESDAY On this day I had an outdoor shoot for my models. Sunlight was really amazing and the pictures went really well. Everything that i planned was on time and so i shooted indoor as well. My indoor location for this day was school's artroom. Pictures in artroom went really good as i thought.Some of them are these: 11TH MARCH-THURSDAY On this day, I shooted in school's auditorium. I needed a white background and some spotlights for my shoot. I had to focus more on lipstick related pictures so auditorium was the best location for it. 12TH MARCH-FRIDAY I did this shoot in my own h...

Before shooting, I had to prepare all the things before hand. The things included all the props, makeup, dresses for the models, accessories and etc. I focused on these things to show an exact meaning of my pictures for the magazine and so to gain an interest from my audience. I also made my models to get ready before the shoot time and checked upon them and also helped them in their makeup & dressing.  My mostly photography was done in a sunlight so i had to be prepared before the sunset. I put all the makeup products and that pink fur carpet that is shown in my photography and BTS on time and reached my location before time.

  I clicked many pictures for my magazine but i had to reject some of them because it does'nt fit & looked good on it. These pictures were not exactly defining the meaning of my topic and the lightning and shots were not as good as they should be so i rejected them. I rejected this picture because it's neither focusing the lipstick nor the model's makeup. Half of the model's eye is blur and some parts of the picture are dark. Even the lipstick which is the main part of my magazine is not focusing the brand name and the colour of the lipstick. This picture was rejected because it was totally blur and the background for this picture was not at all suitable. Even the lightning was not good enough and most importantly the model's eyes were not fully opened and on point.  This black & white picture was rejected because it wasn't showing exactly what i needed. This was focusing more on Halloween based topic and i had to show a little bit of it and secondly my ...

  Finally the time came where i had to finalise the photographs for my magazine's cover page, content page and double spread.These photos were the best of all as it defines my pictures with a great meaning. COVER PHOTOGRAPH: I selected this picture for my main cover page beacuse it is showing the  combination of qualities existent in a person or beauty that fulfills the aesthetic feels or brings about profound gratification. CONTENT PAGE: I selected these pictures showing some example of nude, bold make-ups as its shows the boosting up of confidence among the women. Makeup trends come in a wealth of different colors and shades, they allow you to experiment with various color intensities. DOUBLE SPREAD: This picture shows that whatever is going on your makeup should be on point. Makeup increase ladies self-confidence and self-esteem and of course gives them an appealing and fresh look that lasts the whole day.
