What Camera angle/ shots would I use in my photoshoot?

In my magazine i would like to include many different shots:
  • Close Up
  • Long shot
  • Extreme close up
  • Canted angle
I took the pictures on a Canon SLR D500 camera. The photo shoot that i created was to be based in my demographic, the creative and rebellic teens of the C1 and C2'S

Close up

For my close up shot I intend to capture a my two artists together. I will experiment with taking pictures from different angles of there heads.
one will be a profile shot of them looking at each other. I will also try to capture both of them in a screaming position, and if i can capture there hair flying around them,to relate to the indie look of un-groomed and scruffy that they will represent.




long shot


the long shot of my artists will be of both of them again, leaning on each other and interacting with each other to show that they are obviously an act together.
the mise en scene of the picture will be a buildinag and nature, comparing both uban and nature in one.


Extreme close up

In my photoshoot i would like to take a picture of one of the artists eyes. Just to experiment with shots that i could create and choose to use in my magazine.


Canted shot / Tilted shot


This shot is usually taken in shots where the artist maybe made to come off un -focuse, and it is some times taken through a point of view, shot as is the care was tilted to the side. i would ideally like to get a coupe of shots like this into my magazine, with various different artists.

Low angle shot

This is taked to make the artist seem more powerful. This shot is usually taken for rap artists in rap magazines. Male bands and artist also are subjected to this shot. to make them seem more dominant over the readers. Which does appeal for some people. I dont think i will use one of these shots in my magazine.

High angle shot
A high angle shot is a picture taken of the artist from a high point. It could be a point of view shot or it could just be a normal photo pictuure

Action shot

This is when the artist is in a picture of mid action. It can be seen for when they rock there hair and sway it around giving them a rock chick look.
Lighting
For some pictures I found that I needed curtain lighting to make some of the images work.
i found that if the sun was behind them then the light woudlnt reach the camera and the images didnt work as well, however when the light was behind the camer facing north, from the cameras perspective then the lighting worked better.
 The pictures came out in much better quality when they were hit directally by the light.
