Preliminary Photos for Magazine

 These are the first set of photos for my music magazine. They were taken in a house in Maldon, Essex on Saturday 29th October 2011. I chose to set the room up like a squat, to give off the sense of teenage rebellion, and the pale colours of the background contrast to the darker clothing of the models.


This photo is good because it shows the whole band, but it's also intriguing as they are hiding their faces. I might make this photo black and white or sepia, to add the effect of intrigue and secrecy. The way they are sitting in a line of ascending height is interesting and the white background of the sofa, the walls and door contrasts to their clothing colours which makes them stand out.







This photo shows the band looking more sinister and mystical. They are still in ascending order of height which is interesting, and they look slightly more rebellious here as their faces are sullen and serious, which fits in well with the rock genre.

This photo shows some contrast within the band, as Nikki is laughing while Mia and Emily are serious. The symettry of 'serious, laughing, serious' is interesting, and the band's positions have changed slightly as they are more hunched up as though they are hiding. This adds a sense of rebellion and intrigue to the photo.

This photo is a close up of the band hiding behind Nikki. I intend to photoshop out Katie, so that the three main band members are visible. This photo shows two of the band hiding behind Nikki, which sends out the message that Nikki is the most upfront. This also shows the secretive nature of Mia and Emily, which adds a sense of mystery and intrigue. The umbrella shielding them from the light adds undertones of darkness and fits in well with the rock genre and rebellion.
