2. • These were the first set of images I
took for my music magazine. I took
them against a plain white backdrop
in the media studio.
• Due to being able to take the images
in the media room, I was also able to
use the lighting provided so that I had
high quality lighting incorporated in
to my photographs.
• I told Tyler to wear a plain black tshirt and a pair of jeans for this shoot
as I felt it best reflected the simplicity
of the magazine whilst still including
the indie/ soft rock theme.
3. I took these 4 images at Tyler’s gig in
Liverpool.
Taking these at his gig benefited me
because there was already good
quality, high-tech lighting as a
backdrop.
I was only able to take 4 images
because of the short sets that Tyler
was doing whilst on stage but the
images I managed to get will all work
well in my magazines double page
spread and contents page.
I didn’t have a choice in the clothing
that Tyler wore however, this choice
of clothing still fits in with the music
genre that I chose.
4. I took these images in different
locations throughout Chester city
centre.
I chose this location because the
band The Jigsaws are from Chester
and they felt that they would like to
include this location in to their
images.
The first few images on this contact
sheet didn’t work very well as the
lighting and the flash was not
thought out properly. However, the
more images I took, the better
quality they got and the more I
thought about lighting and location.
I asked the members of the band to
wear clothes that they would
normally wear to band practice.
5. I have put the images that I have
edited from The Jigsaws shoot on to
it’s own contact sheet because these
were the images that I took the most
time on because I knew that I wanted
to make one of these images the
front cover main image.
I used Photoshop to edit these
images; adjusting the brightness and
contrast on a lot of them.
I have chosen to use the first image
that is on this contact sheet, as my
main image on my front cover. This is
because I feel that it not only
incorporates aspects of the main
location, Chester, but it also keeps
with the soft rock theme of the
magazine.
