Test Shots:

I have taken these test shots before I went ahead and took my real photos, as the model is my friend I really wanted to make her feel comfortable in front of the camera so I tried a couple of things to make her laugh. She did lose one of her front tooth so I think that must have taken a hit to her confidence because normally, she is a very confident person. It took about 5 or ten minutes or so to start getting the pictures that I wanted. Through the test shots, I could see what I needed to improve on whether if it was the angle of the shot or what kind it was like a mid shot or a close up. I found what poses worked and which ones didn't, and I as found out through taken more and more pictures that the best angle and type of shot was a front facing mid shot, it mainly focused on her and the different sides of her from the different expressions through the shots which is what my article is mainly about, how she has overcome her past and starting the new chapter of her life with a new out look on life.

Real Shots:

 After I had taken the real shots, I started seeing the photos that had potential to be put into my magazine, I found a couple of photos which could be my cover and the photos that I could include in my double page spread. I really wanted a variety of different shots to show the different sides of her, so I took a couple of genuine laughing ones and a couple of ones with just some random poses. I also really liked the one where she was standing in the centre of the shot with her hands linked a giving a cheeky smirk to the camera which would make the audience intrigued as why she is smiling if they saw it on a news stand.
