This is my reconnaissance of possible locations for taking my photographs for my magazine pages.

I wanted my photos to have a white or black background so I have chosen a painted wall at my school to have as the background. The wall is slightly cream so I aim to edit the colour using a software such as Pixlr to make a more prominent white final background.













I didn't really want any other background apart from the white for this artist because I didn't think it would fit what I was trying to portray her as, which is Indiemy genre such as having a pink background would look very Pop style and using black would have made it more Rock stye.

Also, by having a white background it connotes innocence, which is ironic as the magazine genre is the opposite to this. It also, makes the artist stand out as being the main attention on the cover, so there is no distractions away from the artist.

I don't think that the location is very conventional because the photos were taken at a school whereas most Indie/Rock photos are taken at concerts and gigs because many don't like the idea of posing for photos. This suggests that although my magazine is the same genre, it will have certain aspects that are unconventional to the usual genre style images.

 I took these photos in a house garage where there was enough room to it the band instruments and equipment to make it look more like a gig event.
I wanted it to look dark so there was no lighting or natural light and I used the flash on the camera.
I wanted a black background so that they looked like a Rock genre band so that there was a mixture of Indie and Rock in my music magazine.
