The photographer took pictures for a magazine cover shoot of a boy band. They researched other band photos for inspiration beforehand. Several trial photos were taken, but most were rejected for reasons like unfavorable lighting, subjects cut off, or not conveying the desired serious expression. Ultimately, one photo was selected where the quality was good, the lighting flattered the subjects looking serious and proud, and there was space at the top to add the magazine title.

1. Before I took the pictures for the
magazine cover firstly I researched
pictures of famous music rock bands.
This helped me to see what I want the
boys to do for the photo shoot and what
pictures I want to take.

picture represents 3
friendly looking boys
and I want them to
appear more serious.
This is another good
image. I like the
lightening ( it isn't dark
neither bright) and I also
like the modelling.
However I didn't use it
because I don’t think is
appropriate for a front
page of a magazine.
After I took the pictures I chose few I could work on
and consider their advantages and disadvantages.

4. At the end I chose to work on this
image because
I used this picture for the
cover of the magazine because
the quality is good, it
represents what I was aiming
for (serious looking, proud
guys) The lightening is good
which made it easier for me to
Photoshop. There is also a lot
of space on the top where I
can put the title of the
magazine.
