1. The Smiths – This image is of The Smiths who are a highly recognisable indie rock
band. A minimal look has been created through the image being in black and white,
and this could also reflect the nature of the music created the band. The mise en
scene within the photo suggests that the music is from the 1980’s due to the bands
clothing, especially the lead singer, Morrissey. This would appeal to an older
demographic, as the outfits and hairstyles presented within the image are reminiscent
of the 1980’s and creates a sense of nostalgia. The background of the band presents
them to be in an urban area, which conveys where the band members originate from.
Lorde - The artist’s main genre of music is minimal pop, and this is conveyed through
this image. Lorde is wearing black clothing, and is surrounded by a black background,
reinforcing her musical style. High key lighting is used upon the artists face to assure
she stands out from the harsh background colours. Her youthful appearance could
attract a younger demographic, this is as a result of her image, and also due to her
pop music, which is popular among males and females.

2. Fall Out Boy - The rock/alternative genre is portrayed through this band image, this is
as a result of the bold, dark clothing the band members are wearing as black is usually
related to the rock genre. The band members also are shown to have tattoos which
give them an edgy look; again making the band link into the alternative/rock genre.
The lead singer of the band is situated in front of the other 3 members and is wearing
a different coloured top, making him stand out and asserting his importance within
the band. The band appeals to a younger demographic, as the lead singer is dressed in
what can be associated with ‘hipsters’, as he is wearing a fedora hat and large dark
rimmed glasses, giving the band a younger appeal.
Jake Bugg – The indie rock/alternative genre
is conveyed through the casual clothing the
artist is wearing, and as he appears to be
smoking a cigarette. The image has high key
lighting, and the artist is wearing dark
colours which appear well against the lighter
coloured background, the lighting used
enforces how the artist’s music isn’t heavy
or aggressive. This contrasts with his facial
expression which appears to be quite dull
and sombre, and could appeal to both a
male and female demographic.

3. The Naked and Famous – This image of the band features high key lighting, especially
above all of the band members making all of their faces appear almost white which
could symbolise the light hearted nature of their music. The lead singer and the only
woman in the band is at the front of the line-up and is closest to the camera,
amplifying her importance and role within the band. The camera is also more focused
on the first few band members in the line, showing that the band members towards
the back of the photo are not key members. The band members also are all wearing
sunglasses which give them a rock edge, despite their image looking particularly indie
due to their clothing.
