1. The Script is a pop rock group formed in 2001. The style
of this image suggests a rock band; this is shown by the
costumes of the characters. They are wearing leather
jackets, and one is wearing a shirt with a skull on. The
location of this photo also links to the genre; the brick
wall makes the photo look grungy. A vignette was later
added to make the high key lighting look darker to
become parallel to the genre of rock. The high key
lighting is positioned to the left of the artists. This casts a
shadow on their faces, making one side of their face
dark, implying they have a dark side, which links to the
genre.
Usher is an R&B artist, this photograph links to this
genre. The artist is wearing sunglasses and a chain
necklace. This links to the R&B genre. Furthermore, the
white colours from the backdrop and t-shirt as well as
the high key lighting all link to the genre of this artist.
Sam Smith is a soul/R&B artist. This is shown in this
photograph from the high key lighting that oversaturates
his face, and that he is looking down. This implies his
music is more important than himself, which links to the
soul genre. Although, the black hair and clothing
contrasts this as it makes him stand out, which links to
the R&B genre.
Eminem is a rap artist. In this photograph a high key
lighting on the black backdrop makes the artist stand out
from the background. He is also looking towards the
camera, making eye contact with the viewer, making him
look tough. The lighting also casts a shadow on one half
of his face making him look like he has a dark side. These
all link to the rap genre.
Olly Murs is a pop artist. This photography links to that
genre. This is shown by the high key lighting and the light
blue backdrop. These light colours links to the family
friendly genre of pop. The artist is looking directly at the
camera and is holding his braces off his shoulders this,
shows that pop music is fun and open palm of his hands
suggests that others are welcome to listen.
