Photo shoot

For Riffs magazine, I have selected two models to you. I used Bill Maddison as one model (who i will portray as a Eric Clapton or Mark Knopfler kind of artist) and I also used Jason Jones (who i turned into an artist called Jack Pender.) i decided to call him Jack Pender because I believe in the modern music industry most solo artists have a unique name. These are some of the photos I took. Underneith each image there will be a caption explaining why I took the image and what it is meant to show, however the images with captions underlined are the images I selected to put in my magazine. The images I left out are left out because they either didnt fit the page, the target audience requested they were left out or I feel they wouldnt suit my Mojo style model.

Here I am trying to create a focus pull from the guitar head down the neck to my grandad. I felt this would look good as it would show that the music comes first for Bill as the guitar is the first thing you see then you see Bill.

Again I tried the focus pull, however this time I made sure that Bill was pushed over to the left of the page to make sure this picture was suitable for the double page spread.

In this picture, Bill is more centerised and is actually making eye contact with the camera to give him some sort of connection with the readers.

Here I tried a low shot to make Bill look a little bit more page dominating as now he is standing and you can almost see his full body. This almost gives the model a sense of power as now we all seem to be looking up at him.

In this image I made sure that the guitar head is at the centre of the page to show the music is the most important part of the picture and artist. Also that the article will be about his music and nothing else.

In this image I have Jason in a medium shot with his arms crossed and a fake tattoo to show the attitude expected from a modern rock star however he has the slightest smile on his face to show that this article will reveil his soft side.

This is very similar to the last shot however on this jasons arms are uncrossed to try and give a less aggressive feel to him to show to the audience that he is ready to answer all the questions asked.

In this shot he have a very low shot of jason standing tall with his arms crossed again to show him standing over us looking down on us. This shot gives Jase a lot of power and is meant to be an intimidating shot. He also has the guitar casually hanging from his back, which contridicts what was said about Bill's image, as in Jasons live, he comes before the music and thats exactly what the article is about.

This is my shot for the double page spead and I like this as I feel it gives the artist a layed back look and also shows that he is coming back with his music career.

This picture is a more intence version of the first double page spread image as he now is staring at his guitar and this shows the audience he is now dedicated to his music and will focus on coming back.
