Investigating Photography

• I looked at a series of websites to find
  appropriate professional photography that I could
  use in my magazine. This is because
• I need to have lots of options for what to use in
  the magazine.
• I need to have plenty of variety that helps to
  represent my music scene accurately.

• I like this one because of the effect of the
  black and white and the way the light reflects on
  the subject and shows the black and white
  contrast.
• It could be used for and album cover or a
  advertising poster.
• It might have been created by taking an picture
  of the subject at a slight high angle when he was
  unpacking his instrument. The shot is a medium
  long shot so the props and background is also in
  the photo.

  been used to give the appearance of smoke.
• It could be used for and album cover.
• It might have been created by being taken as a
  medium shot to focus on the subject standing in
  front of a blank wall and a projector with a
  colour filter in front of it with the image of
  smoke being projected onto her.

• I like this one because of the way the lighting
  highlights her features. And the black and white
  effect that has been used.
• It could be used for anything.
• It might have been created by deliberate
  positioning of the subjects facial features. And
  taken as a close up to focus on her facial
  expression.

• I like this one because of the props that have
  been used and the way it is laid out.
• It could be used for a poster.
• It influences the design of the page because if
  the shot was to be taken with half of the
  subjects shoulders it wouldnt look right.
• It might have been created by using a full set
  and lighting for a medium close up.
