This picture is intended to be used on the contents page. This picture will attract the readers attention, on the contents page to the exclusive interview of the duo. Attitude is pouring out of the models facial expressions, their confident body language also gives a sense of superiority and importance as artists. The eye contact makes a connection with the buyer and the artist, which will make them more interested in the interview. 
This close up of the model captures a passionate singer in a performance. The green lighting enhances the punk artist and the shadows created by the lighting is very effective and visually stimulating. This atmopheric image will be used on the front cover of my magazine to contrast with the main picture on the cover. This will be a small picture to attract the readers to the article about secret gigs. 
I took this picture at the flee market in Kemp Town, The back drop is made up from vintage curtains hanging from the wall. I used the Kemp Town flee market as it had the ambiance to the one similar to which i was trying to recreate, it had the mixes of modern vintage furniture and clothes, music and books which gave the feeling of eccentricity.This picture has a dynamic use of texture, which empathise and highlights the models skin and clothes. The model is around the age of the intended buyers for the magazine limited. The intended buyer is from the age of 15 -44, however the median age of the readers of LIMITEDis 23 yrs . The plain grey V- neck which the model is wearing complements the skin tone of the model, his blue eyes and gives a casual yet fashionable look. The style of the model was inspired by the two singers; Peter Doherty and Tom Waits. These artist have influenced many and are style icons in there own right. The bowler hat worn by the model, gives a subtle messages to the viewer, giving the impression of maturity and gives an artistic flair to the outfit. Both Peter Doherty and Tom Waits have been photographed wearing a bowler hat and now is a fashion trend. The festival bracelets seen in the picture gives the impression that the model has performed at festivals and attends them, this is an advantage as the fans will go to festival, this gives the viewer a connection with the artist. The tattoos makes the model more individual and distinctive with a youthful flair. However i have not included this picture in my magazine.
This is a great picture, the viewer gets a real feel of the mood which the model is emitting. His body language gives the sense of reflection as the model appears to be thinking, this gives the viewer a feeling of personal connection with the artist. The model looks casual as if he is not aware that he is being photographed, this is powerful because the fans can feel that they are getting a sense of the artists personal life. The curtains in the background gives a great affect, the different textures and colours enhance the model. Furthermore, the background is open to interpretation which the viewer can decide upon themselves, for me i interpret the curtains as flags intertwining in the wind at a festival such as Glastonbury. I have included this picture on the front cover of my magazine, which draws the readers attention to a feature in my magazine.
In this picture the model has direct contact with the viewer, as his eyes are looking straight at the camera. Usually photographs taken for a cover of a magazine will have the artist looking straight at the camera. This is a technique to grab the buyers attention, and hook them into buying the magazine. Because the model is looking at the camera, there is a certain contact with the viewer which will hopefully compel them to buy the magazine to know more about the artist. The models upright pose gives a sense of confidence and power which will draw buyers to the magazine, as the artist is confident in himself that he is the next big thing in the music industry. The models eyes in this picture suggests that the models has great self- importance, which additionally will attract buyers, because they will be curious to find out what is so great about this artist. This could be a great option for the front cover of my music magazine Limited.
This picture was taken in a quirky cafe in Kemptown, the cafe is known to have had scenes filmed for TV dramas, as the cafe has eccentric furniture and modern art work. This picture was taken under the intention of having a small array of pictures to compliment the article on the double page spread. However i have edited the picture without success, not only does the models skin look unhealthy, he looks sinister and older than his age. The colours in the image compliment each other; the flat cap with the top, the scarf with the red arm chair and the leopard print stool. However the picture is visually disappointing. I will not be using this picture, the models shoulders are tense, which could be interpreted as being self conscious which is going against what image I'm trying to create for the artist.
This fun image, gives a sense of humor to his serious pose. The black coat and grey hat is a fabulous contrast to the vibrant surroundings, in a vintage flee market in Kemptown. The flee market is a popular attraction to shoppers in Brighton and has even been featured in Vogue as one of the top places to get a good bargain. The settings in which i took the picture in, gives a impression to the fans that the artist is highly fashionable and is shopping at a well regarded store for people with quirky taste. This enhances the models individuality, as he doesn't browse through mainstream shops as he is too cool. His big eyes and strong jaw line will attract female admires. I have edited the picture so the model has doll like eyes and brushed over any blemishes, in a naturalistic way as possible. I have done this so the manikin is not just an object, but it comes into perspective visually. More over, society looks at manikins for fashion tips, and even to try to accomplish to look like them, the model in this image has became a live version of what a manikin represents. This is a very powerful, however it is not suited to compliment either the article, front cover or contents page.
I took this picture at a run down art gallery in Brighton, the setting for the picture is very atmospheric. The mid shoot of the model gives a personal persona to the picture, as the artist is holding a casual pose with direct eye contact to the camera. The clothes the model is wearing listens up the dark atmosphere of the image. I will mot use this picture as i have enough for my magazine of this particular model. This image isnt powerful or creative enough to use in my magazine Limited.
This image was intended to be a small picture in the contents page. The painting of the fictional aggressive creature is an interesting background and is very eye catching. I took this picture at the gallery so the image would have a different dynamic of space comparing to the other picture i took in the Flee market and the cafe. The wide open space and the white walls and floor gives a sense of inferiority to the subject which the viewer should be focusing on. However, because the model is mirroring the body language of the creature, it gives a sense of wholeness to the picture. This a possible picture for either the contents page and the double page spread. As the picture suggests the musican is interested in many diffrent art forms, not only music.
The imaginary in this picture is brilliant, taken at the gallery. The two models pose informally, in a relaxed manner in a run down building, which gives a great amount of character to the picture. The dull colours of the building enhances the models clothes and heightens their personality. The setting is intriguing, therefore the viewer will be interested in the subject, which are the two models. The models have both one dominate colour in there outfit, This gives a subliminal message that the model dressed as red , is a passionate singer blooming with emotion which comes to the surface in his appearance. The other model, wearing blue as his dominate colour gives a cool appearance, not trying hard to stand out. Furthermore, the status in this image is Strong as the model sitting higher than the other, makes the distinct from the musician to the singer. As the singer of the band is the focus point to the picture. I will use this image in my magazine as the picture is artistically well constructed for a music magazine. This picture will be used on the double page spread as the proximity of the models are close giving the impression of a strong relationship . The heads are on powerpoint within the rule of thirds. This will draw the readers attention
This is a very eye catching image, for many factors. One being that i positioned one of the models directly in front the art work exhibited at the gallery. The sculpture and the painting behind the musician gives a very interesting composition to the picture. The art work greats a pointed crown or hat with two arms coming out, for the model sitting on the stairs. This composition of mixed media within the photograph gives a creative interpretation of a modern representation of Vishnu, a Hindu God. Another subtle element to this picture is the symbol on the banister, which gives a Pagan undercurrent within the image. However if i use this picture i would have to use photo shop to erase the man in the background, looking around the art gallery. The two models look serious which enhance the curiosity of the viewer. Overall this is a successful image but the image above gives a stronger impression to the reader.
This effectual image captivates a dark ambiance, due to the editing on the background. I used photo shop to create a cave like backdrop, i darken the areas around the edges of the picture and lightened the centre of the image. The centre of the image is lighter because it makes the viewer concentrate on the model ad the cross. Furthermore, the faint painting on the wall are highlighted which make them look like old cave paintings. The picture is primitive as it confronts a certain life style in nature, the painting of the mountains is contrasted with the neon cross hung in the art gallery. The model is stood directly in front of the cross holding a casual pose; head down hands in pockets. His figure is powerful, the cross is hung above the model giving a sense of authority to the image. The cross is a dominate factor to the image, as everyone connects with the symbol in a different way. Religion is confronted in this composition and religion has a strong influence over music too, this is why the image works to well. Crystal Castles are famous for having a neon cross on stage when performing live, the artist above have similar music style which is a subtle hint to the viewer whom aren't familiar with the band yet. This is a great picture and will be featured in my magazine as the picture expresses attitude rather than expressing the personality of the band. To promote a new band successfully, attitude is essential as the the buyers of the magazine want someone to idolize. This image will be featured on the double page spread.
