Choosing the images for my magazine

When shooting material for my three tasks , I took a variety of different shots so I had much to choose from. Here are some of the images I used and some I didn't and my reasoning for including or rejecting it:

This shot was rejected because it seemed as if the artist was too laidback and it would be difficult to position this image on a double page spread.

I decided to use this image for my double page spread as it was a good proportion and used direct gaze to connote confidence towards the audience.

This was my cover image because I felt it was similar to that of an NME or Q page in that the artist appeared focused and confident.

This image simply was not taken very professionally , being to far way from the camera and taken with the backdrop clearly visible.

I rejected this high angle shot because the artist seemed uninteresting and was not facing the audience. This is a problem as an audience would be unable to connect with the artist if he was in a magazine.



This image is overdramatic and a bit far fetched to appear in a magazine. It also did not meet my  goal  of making the artist seem relaxed and confident.

This issue with this mid shot is that we can not identify that this is the artist and therefore it will not grab the attention of his fans.

I decided against adding this image because my model is not looking at the camera , and therefore it does not involve the audience as much as it could.

Again I did not like this image , it was not easy to identity the artist and ultimately the artist should be facing the camera , which I have learnt to do in the future projects.
