RESEARCH / LOCATION RECEE

In order to produce Good pictures, you should shoot in the right location, so earlier in the week I went searching for suitable locations for the cover of my magazine. I was mainly attracted to flowers, bushes and nature in general, I think they give an idea of an intricate and enchanted world, yet the locations I have shot still have a sense of normality.

The location I liked the most and am most likely to use is the the yellow front door. The shot I got of it, reminds of the outside of 1950's/60's household, it is very normal, ordinary and simple yet it is able to create a story, which makes of an effective image. This Location is appropriate for the mood I am thinking of portraying through my images portray, which is everyday life, expressions and action captured on a more dramatic scale.  I especially like the mood The yellow door creates, the colour yellow signifies happiness, sunshine, and humidity. However, this is a door to a building on a neighbourhood, it is likely that there will be residents, so there will be consent needed to shoot there.  

A reliable yet cliché location is the park, it also offers that secluded world because of the grass and bushes, this is why I chose it as an optional location. However it is something that has been done before, also it does not fit in with the story/ mood I would like to portrayed through my images.
