In the photograph of Miley Cyrus the
photographer has put her in the centre of the
shot to show that she is a solo artist. The prop of
the microphone emphasises that she’s a singer.
The background is all the same type of light
colours so that she stands out against it. This all
gives the overall impression that the genre is pop.
The composition of the photograph of Panic at the
disco delivers balance on the vertical axis, both sides
are similar.
The lead singer is more noticeable because he isn’t
stood right up like the other members of the band.
The colours are neutral except for the red on the hat
which stands out more.
The band are usually put into the genres of pop
punk, electro, vaudeville, baroque pop and
alternative rock this comes across in the
photograph because of the way they are
dressed.
This photograph of Avril Lavigne uses the rule
of third; the colours are bright and vibrant to
represent the pop/rock genre.
High key lighting is used and the background
makes the setting and photograph look more
natural.
In the photograph of Nirvana, Black and white
colours are used which is a usual convention of a
rock picture which indicates the rock genre. The
clothes and low key lighting and the colour contrast
of white on black also establish the genre to be a
type of rock music.
The rule of thirds is used and the lead singer is
more centred than the other members of the band

In the photo of Florence and the
machine, the colours show the music
genre to be indie as the bright colours
and patterns indicate that the music will
be different like the way she looks.
High key lighting is used and there is a
plain pale blue background.
In the photo of Lady gaga she is the only person in
the picture and is centred which indicates that she
is a solo artist. Due to her clothes and hair she
would be considered to fit into the pop genre.
The lighting is high key and the background is white
so that she stands out against it in a black dress.
The sunglasses also contrast to the colour of her
skin and hair.
The photograph of Mcfly is composed in a
way to show the importance of the singer as
he’s slightly more to the front than the
other members of the band. The
background is of a wall and looks natural
and this is mirrored in the clothes which
gives the overall impression that the band is
normal and like any other person.
Overall the band would be perceived as a
pop/punk band due to their overall
appearance (clothes, hair).

In the image of Eminem the background colour is blue,
a colour which is associated with royalty, and has
connotations with the genre of rap.
The colour of his clothing stands out against the
background and the clothes he is wearing are casual
which is often seen in photographs of rap artists.
The photo uses the rule of third and this makes it stand
out that he is the only person in the image, showing
that he is a solo artist.
The composition uses the rule of third. The colour
contrast shows the pop/country genre which Taylor
Swift is from. The image uses shallow depth of field
to create the relaxed atmosphere which mirrors in
the artists style of music. The light focuses on the
singer to show she is the main subject in the photo
and also a solo artist. The bracelets and the pattern
on her shirt reflects the background which all
represent youth as the singers audience is aimed at
younger people.
