the rest of my photos

This blog post relates to the remainder of all photos taken previously. These are some of the photos that I`ve taken which are up for consideration. I have yet to decide whether or not to put them in my magazine. I'm also in the process of deciding where exactly I should position my photos and images in my magazine. For example the contents page. In relation to all the pictures below, I think that  fashion is appropiate to the genre and can be attractive for the viewers.

 

Photo 1

This picture displays a man in a studio. I took this picture at a small studio. I think the picture could be used as a contents page image. Its a good image because it has musical aspects such as the speakers and the tuner. I wouldnt use this picture as a front cover main image because it doesnt really attract a viewrs attention, however I would use it as an image that is placed on a contents page.

I really like this photo because it has a cool theme to it. it applies gaze thoery well and attracts the audience`s eyes. However, the only problem is that there isnt much colour which can make it dull to some people. I took this photo at a concert last year. the photo is appropiate to the hip hop genre because it clearly shows two rappers on a stage and has the American flag behind them representing the origins of the genre. For me, this image is a type of photo that is used in the background, not as a front cover or articles main image.

                                       

 

 

Photo 3 

 

This photo is a two-shot and shows two people wearing an urban attire and this is appropiate because my magazines name is "Urban beats" and hip hop genre usually promotes or displays urban fashion. I like this photo because of the greyscale effect and the poses that the people in the photo make. It is attractive and would act as a good, appropiate front cover image.

 

                                        

 

 

 

 

The following photos were all taken at a preorganised mini-photoshoot by myself:

 

Photo 4

 

I like this photo becuase of the pose the person in the photo does. I think this would act as an ideal image for either the front cover image or the double page spread image, becuase its an attarctive photo. I adjusted the brightness of the photo so that it catches the readers eye.

 

 

 

 

 

Photo 5

I prefer this photo above all the other simply because of the grey scale effect and the fact that theres three people which is an element that is not often seen in Hip- Hop  magazines. It would go well well with my magazies concept theme colours- black and white. Furthermore, I like how the model in the phot, is looking directly at the reader, I think it applies gaze theory effectively and appropiately, I believe this photo would work best as a front cover image because its attractive and thats what a front cover needs to be. However, the only negative about this photo is that the effect makes the photo a bit blurry or this could be due to the fact that I zoomed in when editing the image.

Photo 6

this photo is the original photo of the one above. I havent made any modfications or adjustments to this one. Firstly, the people in the photo look far away and the wall behind has wires that ruin the photo. I edited the image by cropping out some of the background, also I optimised the size of the cropped image so that the people in the photo looked closer. Afterward, I added the greyscale effect
