All these images will be taken at the average shutter speed of 1/60 and an aperture of f2.8 to ensure the scene is suitably lit as I am using natural lighting. People walking in the background will not be overly blurred as they walk but some of their movement may be visible in the background to present a bustling city.
Stereotypical 'chav' photo planning
First sketch: This image will be taken on a 650 DSLR camera, and I will use flash to try and get an effect similar to Jurgen Teller's signature style. The location is the Winter Gardens. The image will be a wide shot taken from straight ahead, I will use the grid to try and make it as symmetrical as possible and ensure the entire shot is in focus. The contrasting monochrome colours of the 'chav's' 'scruffy' outfit (a tracksuit) compared to the foliage around him should make for very distinctive colours, as well as interest textures being shown off. This contrast will offer connotations of the 'chav' sub-culture being unfairly stereotyped (people view them as unlikely to hang around places like the Winter Gardens and instead more 'run down' areas), and may represent the mood of the subject similarly feeling outcast.
Second sketch: This second sketch will also be a wide shot and will have a high angle. Alex will be looking directly at the camera and laughing, to connote breaking down the idea of chav's stereotypically being threatening and moody- the bright colours around him will enforce this mood of joy being connoted. This image will be taken on a 650 DSLR camera with the portrait setting on to get the best possible focus on the face of the subject. I wish to compose it so that pedestrians can be seen through the foliage of the Winter gardens, almost to give the effect of a window into the rest of society and an artificial sense that I have brought the subject out into another realm for this photo. It will also follow the rule of thirds if I manage to accomplish this.
Third sketch: This image will be taken on a 650 DSLR camera with the portrait setting on and an out of focus background to create a more poetic and intimate feeling of the viewer being in the subject's headspace. It will be a close up in order to capture the expression of the subject accurately, also any interesting textures will be highlighted to create a more aesthetically pleasing image and form of the subject.
Stereotypical 'hipster' photo planning
First sketch: The first image will be taken on a 650 DSLR camera on portrait mode and the peace gardens will be out of focus in the background. There is something very appealing about catching my subjects mid smile or laugh; something that creates such a genuine aspect to the photograph that, I feel, tends to elicit some obvious sense of joy in the viewer. I want this shot to be a close up of Kayla's face smiling with a slightly out of focus background (which will be the Winter Gardens) to intensify the emotion she is expressing, it will be a landscape shot to show slithers of her surroundings simultaneously. Kayla will be dressed in a stereotypical 'hipster' outfit of: jeans, docs, layers of shirts, a beanie and glasses.
Second sketch: This image will have portrait framing and be entirely in focus to show off not only the clothing of the 'hipster' but also the area that sub-culture are stereotypically associated with. The 650 DSLR camera I am using will have a quick shutter speed in order to capture any passer-by's as well as the subject. The composition is very important in this piece and I will try to situate my model in between two of the metal spheres to show off the space and give a better sense of depth within the image.
Third sketch: I will take this image by the side of John Lewis in town as there is a white wall that looks like a stereotypically hipster background for an image; as usual I will take the picture on a 650 DSLR camera. It will be a landscape shot in full focus, from directly in front of Kayla that will be well naturally lit. Kayla will be directly in the centre of the shot to make it more symmetrical. In this image my model will not need any props but instead will need to try and pose for the photo so it has simultaneously a natural and artificial feel to it as the model is in control of how they choose to act before the lens.

Stereotypical 'goth' photo planning
First sketch: These images will be taken on a 650 DSLR camera, the first shot will be in front of the cathedral. It will be a high angle that should adhere to the rule of thirds; I should ideally get the graffiti on the wall in the background in order to create more points of interest. The subject will be looking off into the distance in order to show his side profile so not every photograph I have taken shows a person's portrait from the same perspective. Everything in the shot, particularly the dark clothing of my model (black jeans, shirt and dark hoodie), should give the whole image a very gloomy effect that connotes what people stereotypically associate with the goth sub-culture.
Second sketch: Bradley will be leaning in the doorframe at the Church in town; this is, again, a distinctive location associated with goths so it would be great to get some photographs in this area. It will be from straight on to try and get the door as central as possible in order to create an effect that would almost be symmetrical without the subject being present. It will be a landscape medium shot to show off the clothing of the model as it is being used in order to reflect the sub-culture. The texture of the bricks and wood around the fabric and skin of Bradley will create a very texturally interesting photograph for me to use.
