Production 3- Photoshoots

Personally, I am not a good photographer; every time my friends ask me to take pictures of them to post in their social media usually takes time because the way I take them is not very accurate since there are different angles that you can take a shot to make you look different.

A green screen photo shoot for my cover is actually the greatest idea I have ever had. Now, where on earth was I going to find one? I had to start moving quickly and that is when I got lucky again. Well, it results that, Flavio Bazan's dad, one of the dreamers I interviewed, runs a magazine. He owned a green screen and he didn't only gave me the green screen but the set up as well, which included the lighting and the stands. I also had a chat with him about strategies and what I had to keep in mind when editing and his knowledge based on his experience were very useful for me.



There is my lovely mom helping me out because at first, we did not know how to build up the set and since Lesley Trujillo, one of the dreamers, was on her way we decided to improvise. After her photoshoot was over is when we realized how to get to build it right, how convenient! 

Lesley came during the night and the next morning, Flavio came and then Lucero. I photographed them three from a low shot angle so that they would look powerful and from the sides because I don't know who is going to be in the middle and who is going to be on the sides.

These are the final shots I selected from the three of them: 



I am nervous I did not get to capture them within the whole green screen background but since the shot was taken from a low angles they did not fit, so I'm hoping this doesn't become an obstacle when editing them out of the picture.
