Music Photography Evaluation
The reason I chose Music Photography over the other categories is because I have strong passion and admire the beauty of the magical sound waves and the enjoyment it brings to my ears. The amount of pleasure it gives me is insurmountable, nothing can beat it.
For my project I had to take a total of 10 photos and each one being completely different to the other with a story behind it. My aim was to go for an instrumental feel instead of a live show so what I had to get hold of was a studio which involved a lot of planning (creating the set and getting models) and booking in advance. I created a mind map to come up with as many ideas as possible to help me go in the studio fully prepared work smoothly without wasting precious time.
The whole process went very smoothly even though I had limited amount of time (1 hour) to stay in the studio but with all the paper work done time wasn't much of an issue. The models were ready and so was the set so now I had to take the photos. The theme I was going for was a more relaxed and intimate feeling so I took close-ups of the instruments such as the speaker and guitar for the album cover picture, I used shallow depth of field technique for with the keyboard and I also used iPhoto software to edit my photos, change the colour correction and give them better quality.
I'm going to compare my IMG_9663.JPG to Nick Pickles NJP_2862.jpg seeing as they are very similar except mine is in the studio and Nick Pickles is at a live concert. The most noticeable effect you will find in both of them is the light exposure by using the subject infront of the light creating a shadow effect. The major difference is the background and I think Nick Pickles photo is better because he has a live audience, band and the subject is in mid-air which makes it more exciting.
