Photo {Likes & Dislikes}

There is an even amount of picture that I have taken that I might consider to use in my music magazine and some are pictures I do not want to include in my magazine due to me either not being satisfied with the  outcome or simply thinking that there could be an improvement .

Half of my pictures were set in my room with multiple lights used and a white sheet hung on my wall. The other pictures were taken in a hotel room in Marriott, I had the permission to shoot some shots in a bedroom setting.

In the first picture I decided to try out the poses for my side view idea for the front cover, however I did not like the look of it and the lighting did not go right for the image quality, therefore I decided to scrap that idea to using the side of the face mid shot. The outcome of the picture seemed boring and it simply did not appeal to myself anymore.

I had another idea for my front cover picture which was to use half a close up picture, I have tired multiple times however I did not like the results I was getting. One picture came out with perfect lighting, but the angle of the face that it was positioned is not what I wanted, and for the second picture, the pose and angle is right, however the lighting is not as good as the first one. I will be able to lighten the picture throughout photoshop however I am not sure if I want to use it for my main front cover photo.

This front mid shot that I have taken I was very pleased with, even though the lighting was not perfect it was a decent pose and close enough shot as to what I wanted to create for my front cover,  If this will become my chosen front cover photo I will photoshop to improve the lighting and create the image more of what my idea was in the sketch. 

 I have tried out a few different angles and shots that I might use for my double page spread ideas when it comes to showing the music artist personality, however some cam out blurry, had dark lighting or simply a wrong pose that seemed boring. I will decide later on weather i will use photoshop to develop some of the photos or just take them out as a whole and stick to one image for the double page spread.

When I went to shoot some of my pictures in a hotel room I decided that I might use it for my double page spread if the images I previously have taken did not satisfy me.

This is one of my favourite picture outcomes that I have taken,  I want to use a black and white affect for the double page spread with the text about it. I used the sleeping beauty pose to represent that if you dream big and never let go of your dreams and work hard for it you will wake up one day with what you always wanted and dreamed of.

another idea form my initial sketches for the double page spread is to have one page with a mid shot of the music artist and then the other page would consist of the article and a few pictures above capturing the personality. I tried to capture some mid shots for this and these are two examples of that outcome. The lighting was great and the poses were soft it signifies the simplicity of her personality and how she doesn't need to pretend to be someone to show an impression, she shines through just being herself.

It is slightly a side shot as her face is facing another way shows that you haven't seen the full story of her and what she yet hasn't show you. It leaves a sense of mystery of what you will find out.
