Main Task: Equipment Used

With my written work done and some of my sketches created and finished, I then began to take some photos for my magazine.
To make my magazine look and feel realistic, I used equipment such as:
The Canon Eos 400D camera with 10.1 megapixels and an aspect ratio of 3:2 was one of first time I used a industry recommended camera.

 At first I struggled to use the camera and found it hard to take decent photos but with help from my teacher, I got the hang of it and was able to take photos for my coursework project.
This camera was assisted by the use of a Bowens Gemini Esprit GM 500 Flash. This piece of equipment synchronizes with the camera so that when I take a picture the added flash from this equipment will enhance any lighting effects I desire to achieve



  I also used a Bowen’s radio trigger, which was attached to the camera which help synchronize the camera with Bowens Gemini Esprit GM500 Flash allow to add lighting effects to photographs I was about to take.

Also used in the photo shoot was a 60cm soft box. This was basically used to add a softer tone to lighting of the photographs, so that when take the photos wont be to dark to appear on the screen

Finally in the photo shoot a Photographic Light Reflector Disc was used to reflect light onto the main object at any angle to in my opinion connote and imply a hidden message left by the photographer/editor of a magazine

With all this done I was able to produce photography such as:
