Practice Photos

This image would be useful as a background for my images as the use of the newspapers look very music relate and used with the right lighting, clothing, props and model could make the image look quite grungey.

 

This image would not be suitable to use on my music magazine as it does not really relate to my chosen genre. Also the model is not making eye contact with the camera but the image is a mid shot which would mean it could be used on a front cover of a magazine.

 

This image is not appropriate for my chosen genre, as the models used not dressed clothing which would relate to my chosen genre (modern rock). They are also not making eye contact with the camera which is a typical convention of a magazine. Also half of the image is in poor lighting which means the music would be unsuitable to use.

 

This image would be unsuitable for my chosen genre of magazine as the models do not have connotations of this genre and because half of the image is in poor lighting. The background of the image also features the green screen which would make it difficult for the reader to not look at it, distracting them from the overall image.

 

This image would not be appropriate to use within my music magazine as the artist is not looking at the camera and as their clothing does not have connotations of a modern rock magazine.

This image would not be suitable to use on my magazine as the image does not connote modern rock and the model is not making eye contact with the audience (some readers would be unable to relate to her)

I like this photograph as it connotes anger and rage which could be used for my modern rock magazine. However, it could not be used as it is possible to see the green screen and the lighting, making the picture look less genuine.

This long shot photograph could be improved by having the artists look at the camera so that they appear as though they are engaging with the audience more. This type of photo would have to be used on the contents page or double page spread as a medium close up is a typical convention of a front cover on a magazine.

After looking at my practice photos, I am confident with what would be ideal for a modern rock magazine and what would not. When I take my own images, I will be concentrating on trying to make the image have connotations of a modern rock magazine and allow this to show through my images with the use of lighting, clothing and props.
