The document discusses selecting photographs for a magazine article about a band. The author chooses several photos they took of the band performing that show the passion and togetherness of the band. The photos would be used and edited for the magazine's cover, contents page, a double page feature, and to supplement an article. The author describes how they would edit the photos, such as by adjusting lighting, saturation, and cropping, to make them suitable illustrations for the magazine.

I have chosen this picture I took at the
Keystones in York as one of the features in
my magazine as I feel that it is a good shot of
the lead singer of the band. The way that the
singer is focused on his guitar gazing down
upon it gives the idea to the audience that
he is passionate about his music and can
relate to people that would read the
magazine. It is a central shot so we are on his
level and have a full view of his guitar and
the gig atmosphere behind him. This would
be a good image to feature as a main photo
on the cover. Adjusting the contrast and
exposure with a grey overlay on Photoshop
would make the picture more unique and
eye-catching on the cover of the issue.

This shot I feel would be
suitable for use within the
contents page of my issue as I
feel that is shows the band
getting really into their music.
As all their focus is on their
instruments it shows passion for
the music they are creating. The
way that they are stood
together in the shot also
communicates that they have a
sense of togetherness and are
tight as a band.

This is one of my stronger
images that I would use in
my double page spread of
the band. The way that the
band are all stood in the
same way and are almost
symmetrical in how they
play their instruments at
this time. I would edit this
picture by putting a brown
overlay on the image to
portray it is an older better
quality picture and
different from other that
may feature within other
magazines.

I like this image as it shows
the full set of the gig.
Although I would adjust the
exposure to a higher level as
it is not a clear enough
picture to feature in the
magazine as it is. Increasing
the exposure would make
the picture clearer and
cropping it to show only the
band and the floor lighting
would improve the look of
the composition shown.

This image taken of the lead singer of the
band King No-One is in portrait so could
be used as the main image when edited to
more suitable. I would crop this shot to a
medium shot so I could focus more on the
facial expression of the singer and his
instrument. I would adjust the saturation
to lower in the image so that the writing
on the main cover would be more
noticeable.

Using a running mode on my
camera the lights streamed along
the image that I had taken. I like
this image as its very individual and
two members of the band have eye
contact with the camera which
engages with the audience. The
genre of the magazine being
individual rock I like the way that
this image reflects that.

This image shows the venues flier for the
gig that the band played when I was
collecting the pictures. This would be
used as a sub image on my double page
spread featuring the band as it shows the
band that they were supporting and
where the gig was. This shows the band
up and coming within the music industry
and is different to other images that I
have collected.
