shooting/selecting images

I made sure before deciding on my magazine I made sure I took a handful of pictures not just one. I took picture in several of positions and backgrounds and selected what I would like in the magazine and the ones that wouldn’t be suitable for the magazine. I looked at the quality of the pictures as well as the things that were in picture. 

For my shooting and selected image I thought about selecting a band for my magazine so I took and image of them up on the stage them performing at a show called big deal. The microphone is there for them to sing the band is going to be on my feature page of the magazine. The background is dark so the band colours were all in bright. It is a live performance as well so it’s realistic. The band is in a specific way where the female is in the middle of the two males and her putting her arms up in the air.

I tried to do several of different shots and tried to present a sense of feeling this is an image close up of me and in the background is the cage where the death voltage sign is shown.  The artist face expression is very blunt and has hardness about him. The background is dark but the brightness of the death voltage sign is still showing from behind. This image I was unsure about because I done similar camera shots and they are all alike in someway. I think the figure of the shot is well presented though.

This is a long distance shot which I am planning to use it on my features page it’s a picture of the artist walking through the alley way which I am going to talk about the music and  his songs which is trying to get to the other side the lighting of the picture is not very bright brings and presents mysteriousness .

This image is also on one of my features page which is going to be known as the artist Cinderella. I took a close up shot of the female and made sure she wore leather gloves to seem very sinister and mysterious.  The image was in colour but I manipulated it and made sure it turned into black and white by using software on my laptop. It’s a close up of the artist with her hood up suggesting she is from the streets. This would have been one of my other chocies of a front cover image but i thought it would be a good cover line and feature.
