Website Equipment, Location and Cast List
In order to ensure that I am conducting successful photo shoots as an effective contribution to my website, it was important that I planned my photo shoots thoroughly.
Throughout the construction of my website, I planned and carried out various photo shoots in multiple locations, to give the website for my magazine more variety and appeal to the audience. I travelled to Newquay on several occasions, where I visited Fistral and Watergate Bay beach to take surfing images. I used a Canon 5D camera and a tripod for these photoshoots, and the tripod was particularly important for these shoots because it helped to stabilise the camera on the different beach surfaces, as well as allow me to take a variety of images at different camera angles and shots.
I also conducted a lifestyle photo shoot in the town centre of Newquay, where as a group we visited various shops, such as the 'Box and Barber Coffeehouse', the 'Jam Jar Café' and the 'Watershed' surf shop. This allowed us to take photographs of various different objects and areas, therefore showing variation in our work.
Outside of our media trips, I photographed areas such as Golitha Falls, Rough Tor (on Bodmin Moor) and Carlyon Bay Beach. This gave me further variation in my photography, as well as allowing me to develop my photography skills with camera angles and lighting. All of these images contributed significantly to my work, as well as representing my genre clearly and hopefully appealing to both the primary and secondary audience.
My most significant photo shoot was the one that took place at Lanhydrock, in and around the grounds, because the image I deemed most valuable served as the main image on my front cover, which is also included as a preview for the audience on my website. In terms of equipment, I continued to use the Canon 5D camera and tripod, along with a stool to allow my model Grace to lie on it for my photographs.
In terms of cast for all of my photo shoots, I only used one model (Grace) for my Lanhydrock photo shoot. This ensured that I was following genre conventions, as regional magazines typically focus solely on landscape images, with the exception of the occasional famous celebrity included that can be related to the region e.g. Dawn French or Rick Stein.
