Magazine lesson 3: Photo taking

In today’s lesson we were in our groups of 4 from the last week and were given a camera by Rebecca and shown how to use the camera, also she told us to take pictures vertically and on a contrasting plain background from the persons clothing. The reason being is because the magazine is printed out vertically and the reason the person in the photo need to be on a plain contrasting background, is so it makes it much easier to cut out the image in Photoshop. In our groups we went around the college asking people would they mind taking a picture for our magazine. We took picture from all different angles to give all different perspective. Once we had enough photos we had to go back to class and hand in our cameras to be uploaded onto the computers for us to use next lesson.
