Photoshoot for Front Page

This photo (above) is a good photo for my front cover in my opinion, this is because i have left rom for the mast head of my magazine as i want it to slightly overlap.  The pose i think is good also as it fits the genre of the magazine and also the lighting fits in well as its a dark and dingy background so it makes the artist stand out with his blue and white adidas jacket.  I used a single light for this photo which was a spotlight which makes it really stand out and light only one side of the artists face.  I will take into consideration using this for my front page.

Again, i used the spotlight only for this photo also which i have found works well for my genre as it makes the artist appear from the darkness which is the case most of the time with rap artists as they seem to just appear and either make it or break it.  Also i shot this photo from a higher angle which would have worked well. This photo would have been better if more thought had went into the pose unfortunately i don't think that i will be using this for my magazine unless i use it for some small photos on my contents or DPS.  

I also used the higher angled shot for this photo and the spotlight only but tried a different pose of the model looking away from the camera which lights up the face of the artist which connote lots about the artist which is what i wanted so i will use either this or the first photo for my front cover.  However, i think the first photo will fit the genre better as he is not looking away as on my front cover i want a photo that will interact with the readers so the first photo would be better i think.
