The photographer took portraits of a model for a music magazine cover. They used a tripod, lighting, and different outfits to capture the model in a style suitable for the genre of music. Their favorite photo shows the model smiling, implying he enjoys the music. The photos follow conventions of magazine covers by being sharp, clean, and having a less formal tone that suits the style. Additional photos were taken for spreads and contents pages while attending a summer concert, with preferences for photos that show the musical atmosphere.

1. These photographs above were taken on a camera-Nikon D3100. I set up my camera on a steady tripod so that I would get a
better steadiness of the model. I also used a camera light to get the different tones on his body and facial features to create more
definition of the photographs. I chose a range of clothing for my model which I though was suitable for the genre of music. I
used the same shot type each time, this was because this was the specific type of shot I was going for. The middle photograph is
my favourite of the following selection because I like the shirt as it suits my genre perfectly and he is slightlysmiling which
implies that he is enjoying his music. I think my photos follow the codes and conventions of a photograph for a cover because
I think my photos follow the codes
and conventions of a photograph
for a cover because, they are sharp
and clean photographs. Also the
mode of address is not direct
which makes the magazine feel
less formal which suits the style
that I'm following.

2. These photographs below are for my double paged spread. What I
like about these photographs is the way he is positioned, because he
looks casual as oppose to informal. The one on the right is over
exposed due to the lighting, I prefer the one on the left because the
lighting is much more sufficient. And his clothing looks less formal
which is the look I was trying to get across because it links nicely
to my genre of music.
These photographs to
the right are for my
contents page, I still
have to take some
however for that part of
the magazine. I took
these when I went to a
concert in the summer. I
am undecided which
one to use yet but ill
make my decision when
the time comes. My
preference is definitely
the top one because you
can tell it’s a music
concert due to the hands
and the man on the
stage playing his guitar,
it just seems more
obvious.
