POSSIBLE LOCATIONS

Before shooting I went around looking at different locations that I could possibly use for my images

Here are two locations I was thinking of using for my images. The location was within a garden which I though was appropriate for my audience, due to gardens connoting prettiness and beauty which would appear desirable to my audience, prettiness and beauty stereotypically being a females domain. Although this location had many values I chose not to use it because of the garden being surrounded by building, which gave it more of a urban hip-hop vide.

I though this location could have been good due to it denoting famous pop artists via the multiple star which would have made my models appear well known and current. However I did not use this location, worrying that the mise en scene would take the focus of my images, making the models appeal less important thus making them come across uninteresting and boring. Although I did think that the stars where a good idea, therefore I will be using this idea in some of my images as a subtle reminder to the audience of my models popularity.

I though this location was very good as it had a one coloured background, which would allow for editing, and also as it props which I could use in my images. However I wanted the background to be white as this is used by photographers when professional photos are taken. Although it was made known to me that there was a similar room with a white background with the same props in Brueton 608, therefore I will be using this location for my professional styled images.
