Final Studio Assignment Portrait Shoot

My portrait shot was to advertise Pantene Pro-v, so my images have to be of a woman with shiny healthy hair. These are the final shots I chose from, I will explain why I chose my final image.

f/25 1/100
I like this image as it shows shine in my model's hair, but as it is a portrait shot I need I did not choose this image.

f/16 1/100
I believe that this image does not show enough hair for an advertisement about hair.

f/22 1/100
I chose not to use this image as the bottom of the hair is not light enough, making the shine of the hair look uneven.

f/22 1/100
I chose not to use this image as I did not like the shadow under my model's chin

f/22 1/100
I did not us this image as despite the shiny top of the hair you can not see it in the bottom of the hair.

f/25 1/100

I did not us this image despite the shiny top of the hair you can not see it in the bottom of the hair due to the positioning of my light.

f/22 1/100
I chose not to use this image due to the shadow on my model's arm

My Final image

I like all my images and tried very hard to find reasons not to use them. I finally chose the one which I think would advertises Panten Pro-v best.

f/14 1/100
I chose this image as it shows an all over shine on the hair due to moving my lights so they shine on all the hair. I also chose this image as the skin tones of my model are not under or over exposed and there are no obvious dark distracting shadows within the image.

Final Studio Assignment Quality Street Shoot

My final images and the process of choosing it

f/16 1/125

I chose not to use this image as you can not see the whole product.

f/16 1/125

I chose not to use this image as i think it is very plain and i do not like the shadow on the bottom.

f/20 1/125

I also chose not to use this image as the right side has bright light on the top right hand side of the tin.

f/14 1/125
I moved the back light to the left side of the product so that both sides of the tin would have equal amounts of light on it. I believe this makes the product look much better. I chose not to use this image as I did not like the amount of white around the product.

My final image

f/14 1/125

I chose this as my final image as both sides are equally lit. I also liked the way I had positioned the camera to see both the product and the contents of the tin. I also chose this image as I thought it had just the right amount of background surrounding it so if it was to be used for advertisements then there is space for text be added.

Final Studio Assignment Pentane Pro-v shoot

Final studio shoot - my process of choosing the right image

f/16 1/125

f/20 1/125

I chose not to use this image as my final image as I did not like the blurred shadow under the shampoo bottle as I think they are quite distracting.

I chose not to use this image despite the fact that I was able to make the reflection on the light table look much better by adding white perspex. I could see the line between the background and the perspex, which again I found was off putting.

f/4 1/125

I chose not to use the image to the left as i believe the bottles to be blending into the background.

My final image

f/16 1/125

I chose this image as both bottles clearly stand out from the background. By using a reflector to make sure that both bottles have even light on each bottle. I also like the clear reflection underneath the bottles as it is reminiscent of the images that a researched. I believe that this image is successfully in promoting these Pantene pro-v products

Final studio assignment experiment

For my final studio shoot I had to capture images of 2 seperate products. I chose to shoot these products at home before taking them into the studio so I could familiarise myself with the products and what angles I may want to position them in when undertaking my studio shoot.
