Investigating Photography

• I looked at a series of websites to find
  appropriate professional photography that I could
  use in my magazine. This is because
• I need to have lots of options for what to use in
  the magazine.
• I need to have plenty of variety that helps to
  represent my music scene accurately.

• I like this one because it looks likes she lying
  down, however, she is actually leaning against a
  wall.
• It could be used for a rock/metal magazine cover
  or double page spread as you could use the
  background of the image for the next page.
• It would influence the design of the page by
  placing text around her.
• It might have been created by altering the
  colours of all of the image.

4

• I like this one because it is at a low angle shot
  and her pose is slightly different to usual
  images.
• It could be used for the main feature image or
  again the double page spread as the background
  could be used for the second page.
• It would influence the design of the page by
  placing text around her.
• It might have been created by desaturation.

5

• I like this one because the background is blank
  but doesnt effect the overall look.
• It could be used for the cover as information can
  be placed around it.
• It would influence the design of the page by
  adding text around it.
• It might have been created by telling him to pose
  with his arms crossed.

6

• I like this one because the shot and the way she
  is posing is different.
• It could be used for the cover or contents page
  as information can be placed to one side.
• It would influence the design of the page by
  adding text to the left side where the wall is
  which would probably work better for the contents
  page.
• It might have been created by her leaning against
  the wall so that her cheek was against it.

7

• I like this one because it uses the same kind of
  colour scheme.

• It could be used for the cover page.

• It would influence the design of the page by
  adding text around her, however, landscape images
  arent normally used for the covers of magazines
  are normally portrait.

• It might have been created by getting her to pose
  with her hands on her head.

8

• I like this one because of the dark colours used.

• It could be used for the contents page.

• It would influence the design of the page by
  adding text to the left and right or just one of
  the sides.

• It might have been created by getting her to pose
  against the wall so that her tattoo showed.

9

• I like this one because the different heights are
  used.

• It could be used for the secondary lead.

• It would influence the design of the page by
  using the different heights to illustrate
  something on the cover page.

• It might have been created by using an infinity
  wall and reflective flooring.

10

• I like this one because it uses a high angle shot.

• It could be used for either the cover page or a
  secondary lead.

• It would influence the design of the page by
  adding text around the men for the cover.

• It might have been created by waiting till night
  to take the image.
