MY GENRE - MAGAZINE LOCATION RESEARCH

This photograph was taken in an open, pane glassed window area, it has golden pillars and a white floor. In my opinion, this was a very good location to take a photograph for a classical music magazine, as the pastel colours set a very calm atmosphere. The red dress contrasts with the rest of the photograph because it stands out and is very bright, this draws attention to the star. The fact she is not looking at the camera shows she is mature and is very sophisticated.

This photograph was taken in front of a brick wall, and the grey bench clashes with it. It is clearly taken outdoors, with studio lighting because the stars face is very highlighted. The star is not facing the photographer, this makes him look like he has a higher status and has a sophisticated edge to it. Overall, the clashes of all the colours is brilliant and creates an eye-catching front cover.

This photograph was taken indoors, in what looks to be a fancy bar, or restaurant. The paleness of the stars clothes makes him stand out and the readers attention is brought to him. It looks like it mainly uses natural sunlight, as you can see the seat is highlighted and he has shadows on his face. The reflection on the table is a good effect to have. The star is not looking at the camera, whilst his clothes may seem casual he looks away to give off a mysterious and sophisticated edge to him.






This photograph looks like it was taken outdoors, with winter scenery behind the star. The background scenery is blurred which draws the readers attention to the star, enabling more focus to be put on him. The stars clothing makes him look very dark compared to his very pale face. I think this is suitable for the genre because it has a very bland colour scheme. The natural light sharpens the models face and makes him look joyful.




This photograph was take in front a tree in autumn, this sets a peaceful atmosphere and creates a quite soothing vibe, which is a convention of classical music. The blurred background is effective because it draws attention to the star and makes her seem more bold. The dark green dress she wears contrasts with the tree and the nature look. I like how she is holding a viola because that is a convention of classical music magazines. This shot was taken in natural lighting because it sharpens her face and some parts are shadowed. The star does not look at the photographer which creates a higher class and more sophisticated edge.

This photograph was taken indoors in front of a old window pane, it is quite dark but very bright on the stars face. The dim lighting makes the star stand out even more because the light is focused on her.  The red on the models dress contrasts with the rest of the photograph because it makes her, and the viola stand out.
