This was the first photograph I took for this photoshoot and from this I changed what I thought was necessary to get the perfect shot. From this, I decided that the image would look better if I took the photos from a low angle, therefore making the model look larger and more significant which is important as the whole purpose of fashion spreads is to sell the clothes that are shown.

After evaluating the first shot, I took the images from a lower angle and instructed the model to move closer towards the middle of the hot tub and simply put his hands by his side on the hot tub and take a relaxed posture. However, when looking at this image I decided that this posture looked awkward and unnatural, and the fact that the model is looking and positioned away from the audience I believe is very disengaging and doesn’t look very inviting for the viewers.

After deciding I was not a fan of the previous body posture, I asked the model to sit on the side of the hot tub and take his feet off the floor. The idea in mind was good, however, I was too close to the model when taking this image and by doing so I cut out the footwear of the model, which is very unideal and does not look good what so ever considering the purpose of fashion spreads is to show the clothing. However, I liked that the model was not looking in a direction no where near the camera and I believe that either me moving more central or the model positioning more towards the camera looked much better.

This photograph is very good, as the model is central which is good when considering the rule of thirds, all the clothing is shown, the aperture is ideal and the theme is represent well, however, I believe this photograph is very default and boring. Summer should be represented as happy and positive however I believe this image does the opposite and is very dull as there is no angle to the shot, the model is positioned straight on line with the camera and the hot tub is very central, conclusively, I am not a fan of this image as it does not represent the summer theme well and is not eye catching what so ever.

When considering the negatives about the last image and keeping in mind the positives, I decided to position my model facing towards the camera, however did not put him entirely central and decided to position him slightly to the left, I simply believe it just looks much better and less dull when doing so. Also, I made sure that I kept all the clothing in the shot and in focus but I moved elsewhere so I could get a better angle of the hot tub which is not straight on and boring. This angle shows the model, background and mise en scene very successfully which is what I aimed to do for the image. The yellow trunks and blue sky combine together very well to represent a summer theme and the image as a whole shows the theme very well.
