Photo Shoot Images.

These images here are of the band 'The Drums', they were featured in the 'NME'magazine. I really liked the idea of the ruggered beach theme which has been put across. The tight stripped tee shirt look is really effective in the way it suggests a sailor theme. I wanted to include girls into my band so I could be more creative in what their costume would be.

After drawing up my flat plans and planning what would be featured onto my magazine I went on to plan what type of photos I needed to produce. Here are the best pictures I took using a digital camera at the studio and Saltburn Beach

I used a high saturation within this photo, as it captured the whiteness of my background with contrast with the colours of her costume( navy). As the model's top has white stipes featured on it, it stands out from the background quite effectivly. She is framed more to the left of the page as it creates more power and more dominant towards to audience. I used the traditional microphone as it shows she is a singer but also a more classic but modern approach towards the artist. Comparing this to her costume, which you can see, she is wearing short highwasted shorts, a stripey sailor top and emphasiing on the bow in her hair, she comes across to the audience as a stylish icon which my target audience can look up to.

Here is one of my male models. I have used closed framing to emphasise on his facial features and also his accessorie, the sailor hat. I used this prop as my location is set on a beach and my whole theme is beach and sailored themed. And against this white background it really blends in well. You can just about see his top and his cardigan which is also navy and sticking to the sailor theme. His eye line is high as it's to suggest power but he's looking down which connnotes he may come across quite shy to the audience.

Here, shows all three models. I have made the two female models stand at the front, posing a strong pose. They also will attract the readers eye's as they have sexual features which will catch the readers eye and draw them into the magazine. I will probably use this for my magazine front cover as music magazines dont tend to always use medium shots for the front cover.

ADD PIC

I have used a staggered effect on this image below. I think it creates a really good effect. I have placed Rachelo at the front as I thinkher features are very attractive and will stand out more to the readers. People can also look at ther outfit and want to follow her style. Also I chose to shoot in the location as my theme was a ruggered beach and sailor look and I think this created it quite well.

A low angle long shot. I think this is a really creative shot, as it captures all three members. It captures them looking professional and orignal. The models stood against the wall makes contrast with the costume which they are wearing. Could do with some editing, maybe brighteningthe contast and editing out blemishes. A close up shot, using high depth of field. The red accessorie which some of the models have been wearing, I placed on the sand and captured the contrast between the brightness of the sunglasses on the dull sand. Also in the distnace is my male model, by using a high depth of field, blurs him out but stil seeing him knows this picture relates with the band. Editing the background and making it lighter will show the location at its best and make it look sunny and bright. The pictures above I have tried to create a simular look to the professional pictures of 'The Drums'. I think I have made a good job of this and I have made it more 'real' for my target audience to relate to by using younger models. And also using not just men but a mixture of males and females.
