This document compares an official photo from Metal Hammer magazine to one of the author's own photographs. It notes differences in posture, facial expressions, and gestures between the two shots - the official photo shows the celebrity turned to the side with a serious expression, while the author's photo is from the front with a smile. Both convey a casual social group through clothing and long hair, but differ in photo quality and details like hand gestures.

1. This is the image that I will be using for comparison to one of my
own photographs within my magazine and explore some of the
differences and similarities. The picture is an official shot from
Metal Hammer.

2. Here you can see the difference in posture by the shots on
the official photo the celebrity has a turned to the side for
the photo where as my one is from the front, similarities such
as long hair and style are there but the facial expressions and
gesture are different. In my photo the person is smiling where
in the other he has a more serious approach. Also you can
see the gesture with the rock n roll symbol of the hand,
where as the official photo is more laid back and unknown.
Overall you can see how both photo’s convey a casual social
group of a shirt, or T-shirt and long hair but are both of
different quality.
