The genre of music my magazine will be aimed at is indie/rock. I have looked at examples of photo shoots by artists who fit this genre to get ideas about location and how the photographs look best suitable.
Below are some examples:
Arctic Monkeys
Foals
The Kooks
The Pretty Reckless
The majority of these photo-shoots appear to take place outdoors in quite urban looking areas. They also tend to use black and white which. The lead singer/main artists is always stood nearer to the camera and is the main focus of the image. A lot of the photographs seem to be taken by walls/enclosed outdoor areas. This gives me a possible idea for where I can photograph my model(s). I will take the photographs down by the railway bridge near the junction pub in Guide Bridge. This area has quite a dingy and urban look to it which I think would fit my genre well. However, one thing I will do differently that doesn't seemed to be used in these shots are the use of instruments which I think would have a better effect. In my photographs I am going to use one or more bass guitars. I think that particular instrument is representative of my chosen genre.
