This document is a project proposal for a photography student to do a portrait photo shoot of a band for a music magazine. The student plans to take around 50 photos, with 10 selected for the final work. They will capture the band in a flattering light to promote their music. The student has researched three photographers for inspiration - Michael Williams for use of shadows and black and white, Andy Fallon for celebrity portraits with multiple poses, and Philipp Ammon for unusual poses. They will use a Canon EOS 1100D camera with 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses, along with a tripod. Techniques will include shutter speed, ISO, and rule of thirds composition. Shooting will take place in the college

1. Unit 57: Photography and Photographic Practise
Project Proposal
(P2, P3, M2, M3, D2, D3)
Candidate name: Theme: Music Magazine Portrait Photo Shoot
Predicted final outcome
During this shoot I shall be taking round about 50 photographs of which 10 of
these will be used for my work. For this I shall be taking photos that would be
going on the cover of a music magazine. These photo will be used to get the
band and artist in a good light this means the photo should come out as a way
to get people to listen to them and not ignore them that means the photos that
I make must stand out above the rest
Reasons for selection of theme (including inspiration from the work of others)
I have chosen 3 different photographers that I will be using for inspiration when I
start to take my photographs
The first artist that I have used as my inspiration is the work of an artist called
Michael Williams .he uses the use of shadows well as well as adding a black and
white tint this might be something that I want to use
The next artist that I have chosen is Andy Fallon he dose a lot of celebrity work he also
dose a lot of work at portrate with mulltipal people .What I like about his work is having
more than one person in the photo each of them making a different pose .

2. The final artist that I have picked is Philipp Ammon I like the strange poses that he
uses in the images it is something that I might think about doing in my own work.
The photo imaging equipment and medium that will be used and why
The camera that I shall be using for my shoots will be the Canon EOS
1100D.Some of the features that this camera will includes is 12.2 mega pixels ,
6400 ISO, Continues shooting ,LCD screen and optimize lighting levels
The lenses that I shall be using is the default 18 – 55 mm lenses for close to mid
shots .I will also be using a Cannon EF 75mm-300 mm lenses for far off shots . I will
also be using a GIOTTOS tripod if needed which is 3/8” mounted with a max high
of 1.76 m
Techniques
Some of the techniques that I shall be using will be the following. shutter speed I
may want to have some sort of motion bluer in the photos this would mean that I
need to have a low shutter speed .
I will also be using the ISO command so then I can change how much light the
camera takes in for example if I am inside then I will need a high ISO and if I’m

3. outside I will need a low ISO(depending on the weather).I will also use the rules
of thirds in order to make the viewer look at what I wish them to see but this is
something that will come natural and it could also look interesting and different
if I do not follow this rule so I might not use it a often as some of the other
techniques
Location of shoot Around the Eccles college area mainly in the photography
both .other areas of the college may be used if need
be .On the outskirts of the college the three sister’s woods
will be used because it has a lot of nature wildlife trees etc.
This will also give me images with natural light which will
work well with my photography.
Risk and health and safety considerations
I will complete a risk assessment
