Research and Planning-Magazine Photographs

Over the Christmas holidays I used an SLR camera to take photographs for my music magazine cover and also the double page spread.











   

When taking these photo I found that the 'black and white' affect gave the picture a sharper quality and looked a lot better than when in colour. I also think that black and white images would tie in well with my colour scheme of the magazine as that also uses lots of black and white. When researching magazine covers and photo-shoots for my chosen genre I found that a large number of those photos were also in black and white. This will make my magazine genre more widely recognized. 

I took around 25 photographs and the above are the ones that I thought were the best. I'm not sure which I'm going to use but several of them will be featuring on my magazine cover and on the double paged spread. I'm thinking of using one of the outdoor photographs in which my model can be seen posing with a bass guitar. This will be relevant to the genre of my music magazine (indie/rock) and also to the name of the magazine "Bass". However, I may use the last photograph as I think the sharp contras between the white of the model and the dark background gives a good effect and also would make it sound out and draw the eye.
