PTS photoshoot planning

I plan on photographing on my winter trip to Colorado and California. I intend on photographing in the national park I will be visiting. These parks include: Estes park, Rocky mountain national park, and Yosemite National park.

I love natures creations and landscapes especially mountainous ones, and these park will be perfect for what I have in mind. I especially love trees, and sequoias (redwoods) are one of the tallest trees in the world. I hope to capture the perfect shot of these beauties to make one of the photos my front cover. I will also visit Long's peak which has high elevation where I will be able to take a panorama of the Rocky Mountains if weather permits.

In Yosemite national park there is a large granite rock "el capitan" which I would like to include as one of my spread features. I hope to capture a shot of this work of art.

With the photos I take I intend on capturing the beauty and antiquity of the landscapes. I want to be able to portray the beauty of the landscapes in the snapshots. The message I want relayed to my magazine readers is how vast and enrapturing nature is and I hope to evoke this emotion with my photography.

Below I included the type of photos I intend on taking of the landscapes:

Furthermore, the colors in the magazine help to create a placid mood and a welcoming feeling. All the ed...

PTS feature spread content process

Choosing an article topic for the two page feature was somewhat challenging. I had minimal word count for each article, being that it was a half a page of text for one article. However, to narrow my searches down I decided to touch upon the National parks I photographed and I they can offer its visitors. But specific to my magazine, I made sure to focus on adventurous and outdoorsy activities because my target audience are adventurous travelers and nature goers. I began searching for puns and slogans for the Rocky mountain national park. I found "Rockies Empire" and instantly pictured it as my article title. However, in order not to fall into copyright issues, I created the title "The Rockies Kingdom." I took a shot on Long's peak in the park and thought of it as the "king" of the rockies so I decided to adopt this as my title for the Colorado portion of the layout. Below the "Long's peak" photo: As for the California portion...
