Voice magazine cover image

I chose to use an out side setting because I like the natural lighting. The place I have chosen is a small pond, I

chose this because I like the little Island in the middle. I think that having a photo shoot outside suits the music

genre more as it is not forced and fake.

I chose to shoot my picture in

portrait because I could then get more detail into the pictures as well as being

able to make the picture fit the

A4 page properly

I chose to use these 3 boys as they are styled in the way I think the band members would actually dress. Each one has their own style and it does not looked like a forced style. When I was taking the photos I told them

to just look natural and let them stand how they wanted. I took a lot of different photos

and decided to choose the one I wanted after.

I decide that I wanted to use this as my

image as they all have a direct gaze towards the camera, as well as this I like the stance

they have as they look powerful which is how I wanted to

portray them.

This is one of the final edited choices I had, I like how I have made the back ground a lighter more subtle tone where as the boys as a brighter more vibrant, I think this shows them off more and makes the viewer focused on them.

In the end I decided against this as the band did not seem close, they are all positioned away from each other which is not normal for bands to be standing. To make them closer I cut them out and placed them on another setting which I took a couple of days after the initial shoot.

This is the final setting I chose. I like this picture because of the iced branches making it look like winter. As well as this I like the crisp cuts along the trees and leaves. I had to be careful when adding them in as I didn’t want it to look fake.

This is the finished Image that is placed on the cover. I like the closeness of them and the order that they are standing in as they seem like a real band with the ‘favourite’ at the front. I think that the image looks as real as possible and if a person was to look at it they wouldn’t tell the difference.

Thank you!
