Photographs for my

magazine

FRONT COVER PHOTOS

I love these images I have taken for my front cover. I used a white background therefore they would be easier to work on photoshop with, I can easily put in sell lines however the photo could have been better if I had left more room at the top for a masthead, and also got the full guitar in of the artist on the right. Overall I love the picture as it shows the fun side of the band furthermore I have decided not to use it as I took the photo landscape which will make it difficult for me to edit of photoshop.

Pretty much the same photograph as the one on the right, however I have asked the band to be serious and to give the camera eye contact. By doing this, the band create a relationship which the reader as eye contact can be intense and personal. Same overall conclusion, not enough space for masthead, and the landscape format however like the postion, props and setting and facal expressions of the models.

This is the image I am going to use for my front cover, the format of the photograph, portrait is perfect for editing on Photoshop. The band are all giving eye contact to make the a direct connection with the reader. I have used props for the photo shoot to make it look realistic. Overall l am defiantly using this photograph for my front cover. The negative points of the photograph are that the background colour is great, however to get a full shot of the artists the pipe and plug socket are in the photograph. Furthermore which the image is zoomed in on, on the front cover to make the artists higher on the page for the masthead, I believe the image will work well.

Landscape view of the photo on the left. All members of the band are giving direct eye contact. Like the use of the props, facial expressions, are serious however fun and happy. Used casually clothing will the band tour in and wear in their everyday lives, I like the initial idea of this photo shoot as it isn’t over the top staged and look natural. Negative points are the same, the pip are in the way and part of the carpet border.

CONTENTS PAGE PHOTOGRAPHS

This one of my close friends who is modelling as a solo music artist. I tried to set up a photo shoot of her performing musical tasks, therefore I can portray her as a music song writer, I have accomplished this by using various props such as pianos, microphones and music stands. I have provided to clothing of the artist and have inspired her to look like Jessie J who is one of my favourite artist's and who is also very big in the pop/hip hop sector which is my chosen genre.

In this photograph I have used props, such as pianos, headphones and music stands to make the artist to appear as if they are song writing or even recording. The photograph as it is natuaral, shows the artist at work, the only downside is the plug socket in the background and also the blue chair, however with photo shop editing the photo should look better.

This is one of my favourite photographs from the photo shoot, showing the solo artist recording in a music studio. The photograph is very natural, the artist is not extremely made up, in my opinion she is a classy, pretty artist who females artists will inspire to be like. I especially like the shadow of the microphone in the background as it is really effective. The images on the side are my other attempts of the images at different angles, however this is my favourite.

Possible photos for my contents page. Placing the model in different poses, using a plain background, therefore it is easy to edit straight on my contents page.I like the facial expression of the model, as it is direct and connects with the audience.

Using a action shot to show the artist, song writing as I will be featuring “6 tips of song writing” in my magazine. Showing a action shot, is more natural. The prop I have used is a piano.

This is the image I am planning to use on my contents page advertising a new solo artist Harley Ashton. I used a plain white background, therefore I could adapt the image on Photoshop and a make it easier to crop around.

This is an image of a amp, in the music studio. These are used in the industry of Hip hop and pop. Thinking about featuring it on the contents page – For sale.

ARTICLE PHOTOGRAPHS

Solo shots of Tom – drummer of Odd Future. I like this photo, as he looks cool and is a action shot. The photograph is not posed, therefore it is more natural.

Action shot of Jamie, playing the guitar – natural shot. Lots of props around, however I do not like the background of photograph as it appears “too busy”

Solo action shot of Nick.Prop – Electric guitar, natural shot however looks slightly posed. Only negative part of the photograph is the background props.

ARTICLE PHOTOGRAPHS

I am planning on using either of these as my main article photograph. Using different facial expressions on each model, therefore it creates a different impression of the band. The photo of the band pulling funny faces, this creates a fun impression of the band, having a good time while recording. The photo on the right is a more serious pose however, the band look happy, only downside is the cables, but to be able to use the props to create full effect, the props where needed.
