Models- Ayrton Cooper, Laura Chalkley, Ebony Machin and Lily Ward.
These are my own images which i have taken on different locations, I have chosen these from a variety of images that i took.
I took them outside ontop of an old bridge, a canal path and inside. I have tried to link some of my images with a few photographers which i have researched Jason Christopher and i have also linked in the bands Florence and the Machine and The Drums within it too.
1. This image was taken on a canal path in Stretton where there are trees and bushes, i thought this would be good to take a few images. I told Ayrton to stand how he thinks a male model would stand, I think Ayrton has done a good pose here because i like the way that he has his head at the angle which its at and the way that his hands are positioned. I also like the way that his facial pierecings look effective in this image.
2. The next three images i am going to talk about are based on the image of The Drums where they are all standing on pillars. I think that this is really effective and i like the way that each image is different and they are pulling different poses. The thing i would change about this image is i would of taken more images of Lily because i think this image looks like she is frightened of falling.
3. This image of Ebony i really like, because i like the grin she is giving the camera and the way she is positioned. I like how her arms are positioned too.
4. Out of all of the images of them standing on the pillars, this is my favourite, because i think this image Ayrton looks the most comfortablist about standing on it and his facial expression shows it all. I also like the way that he stands out really well and what he is wearing stands out with the darkness of the background. The only thing i would change about the three images is find a location where all three models are standing on a pillar each at the same time and also about this picture either have it the same positioning as the other too or change the positioning of the other two.
5. We are now getting to the group photo's where they are getting together and looking like a music band. Before i took this image i told each one of them to stand differently, and they did it well because not one of them are standing the same. I have based this image on The Drums also because i liked the way they look an image and not one of the band members were standing the same or doing the same thing. I also told the models to look at the camera with a kind of straight face with not alot of emotion in, and again they have done what they have been told. I really like this image because i think the fact there is a fence in the background works well. I could see this kind of style working on an album cover.
6. This image was taken ontop of an olden bridge which is also in Stretton. I told all four models to sit in a straight line with their backs straight too, and i also wanted them to look to the right of them and focus on a blue van which was parked up.
7. I really like this image because i like they way they are all standing and the position they are standing also. I also like the way they are all looking at the camera, i can see this image style on a cover of an album.
8. This image is simular to image six, but this is different because i took this image lying down on the floor and this one they were still focusing on the blue van. I think this looks very effective.
9. This is the last of the images which i took outside and i really like this one. The thing i like most about it is the facial expression Ayrton is giving and the way Ebony and Lily are standing. I really like how the bridge and brick are in the background .
10. These images are the ones which i have based on the photographer Jason Christopher and his work. This image is based on the one where there is a man on his own with a white background. I have used all the models to see if i like them all being in it, but i didnt so i did singular shots. But i do like how Ayrton and Lily are standing and what actions they are doing.
11&12. These images of Lily i think are very good. Image 11 is more of a close up of her and image 12 is in the distance more, but i really like how they have turned out and i think they look simular to Jason Christophers image.
13&14. This goes the same for images 13 and 14 because i have done the same with Ebony but one one image done a different pose the one where she is looking down. I really like the way she looks clear and the way she stands out with the white background behind her.
15. This image i have used Ebony and Lily and based it on the image of Florence Welch when she is doing a similar pose. I think this looks good but i dont think the two people work i think just one person works.
16. This image works because it is just Ebony doing it herself and i like the way she stands out. I also like the way her mouth is because i think it looks like the Florence image.
17. I like this image because i like the way Ebony is looking directly at the camera with a slight grin on her face. I think this would work for an album cover of a solo artist.

  1. Hi
    Great to see you have tried your own location shoots with models to get you used to what approach is required. A very good selection of images, which if you look carefully show influences of your research.
    All this work will need to be focussed onto labels for unit criteria, see
