Here are a few shots that I have taken in order to meet my brief for my music magazine. The picture above is a sample for my double page spread and the picture below I had in mind at first for my front cover, but know I might use it for my contents page. The area in which I took these photos were the studio, in which I felt had very good lighting. Also it benefited my model as she needed to hold her heavy guitar, in which I had a chair for her to sit on. This also made it look more authentic, as you stereotypically play a guitar sitting down. This links to my brief as a lot of Indie Pop singers play an instrument, mainly a guitar. This connotes the Indie side a lot more. I decided to use dim lighting as I wanted my model to look timid as this is a convention an indie pop artist has through my research. I also tried out bright lighting as the bright lighting gave my model a bright light effect on her face which I did not like and wanted to change. Changing the bright light and turning the lights down a bit
As you can see from this picture above, I took another test shot of how I wanted my model to pose on the front cover. Unfortunately the shot did not turn out too well as there was bright lighting used on the test model I used face. This was not the effect I wanted to create. This is what therefore made me want to turn the lights down a bit more to have a clear view of my models face without bad lighting. This shot was also taken in the studio on white background which was what I wanted, it was only a shame about the lighting. The white back drop also made me have to work a lot better with the lighting as it could have given off bad effects several times which I did not want to happen. I therefore took a lot of shots at mid angle instead of low angles, as low angles could have created a shiny, bright effect on my models face as a ray of light could have shined through from the top of the picture.
