Photographs I have taken


This first photograph which i have taken i chose to use for my front cover of my music magazine. I thought the wall around them which disappears then, into the blackness behind them, helps to give the impression that they are only normal people who live in rough areas. This highlights the fact that they are ordinary, everday people and this could help to encourage people to like them. I also think it gives the impression that they where brough up living on the streets. I think the close space between them helps to show the intimacy between the two artists.













I liked this photograph, however when i was producing my magazine i discovered that it didn't really fit in on any pages.















This is the photograph which i used for the double page spread. I liked this photograph. After researching many different music magazines i discovered that their pictures didnt tend to be artists in studios etc, most of their pictures had their artists in certain environments, such as a bus stop or in a bedroom. However the artists still had microphones and proper instruments.

I thought it would add to the joke if the guitar where to be a blown up one and have a plastic microphone with a really shiny top. I believe this had a comic edge to it and made the photograph more interesting. I also surrounded them with empty beer cans and bottles as props made the picture more interesting and added believability.



I really liked this photograph. I thought the joke microphone and blown up guitar work well and really make it look like a band messing around and having fun. However i believe that this photograph would probably have looked better if the two artists where standing closer together.
