1. Contact Sheets

2. • These were the first set of images I
took for my music magazine. I took
them against a plain white backdrop
in the media studio.
• Due to being able to take the images
in the media room, I was also able to
use the lighting provided so that I had
high quality lighting incorporated in
to my photographs.
• I told Tyler to wear a plain black tshirt and a pair of jeans for this shoot
as I felt it best reflected the simplicity
of the magazine whilst still including
the indie/ soft rock theme.

3. I took these 4 images at Tyler’s gig in
Liverpool.
 Taking these at his gig benefited me
because there was already good
quality, high-tech lighting as a
backdrop.
 I was only able to take 4 images
because of the short sets that Tyler
was doing whilst on stage but the
images I managed to get will all work
well in my magazines double page
spread and contents page.
 I didn’t have a choice in the clothing
that Tyler wore however, this choice
of clothing still fits in with the music
genre that I chose.

4. I took these images in different
locations throughout Chester city
centre.
 I chose this location because the
band The Jigsaws are from Chester
and they felt that they would like to
include this location in to their
images.
 The first few images on this contact
sheet didn’t work very well as the
lighting and the flash was not
thought out properly. However, the
more images I took, the better
quality they got and the more I
thought about lighting and location.
 I asked the members of the band to
wear clothes that they would
normally wear to band practice.

5. I have put the images that I have
edited from The Jigsaws shoot on to
it’s own contact sheet because these
were the images that I took the most
time on because I knew that I wanted
to make one of these images the
front cover main image.
 I used Photoshop to edit these
images; adjusting the brightness and
contrast on a lot of them.
 I have chosen to use the first image
that is on this contact sheet, as my
main image on my front cover. This is
because I feel that it not only
incorporates aspects of the main
location, Chester, but it also keeps
with the soft rock theme of the
magazine.
