Original images

Here are some of my original images that I took whilst doing my photo shot of my friend. Below I will discuss why I used certain photos and not others.

Here is the photo that I used for my front cover. I used this image because looking at some of the common conventions of a front cover some of them have medium to close up shots. Another reason for me using this image is that the model is looking directly at the readers, this makes the audience feel like he is looking at them. The lighting of the image is mostly around his face which is good as it helps the audience identify the person.

Here is an image that I didnt use for my magazine. This is because it is a long shot and you can barely see the model. This breaks common conventions of a music magazine. The lighting of the background is all wrong as well, as you cant really make his face out from the light reflecting.

Here is an image that I used for my contetnt page.I think this photo really works because again he is looking directly at the camera. You can see the model however most of the lighting is on the guitar which I think is a really cool effect. It is a medium shot which makes the reader be able to identify the star easier.

Here is another image that I didnt use. I didnt use this image because the model isnt looking towards the audience thus not connecting with the reader. This also breaks common conventions. However I do like the way that the light is directed towards the end of the guitar.
