Taking images

Taking original images:

I took images of the two people who I wanted to act as the band members of The Crookes. Firstly, I took pictures outside, however, I realised that it would be more difficult to isolate the image in Photoshop when I come to create my advert poster and so I moved inside and photographed Ed against a white wall.

In terms of direction, I asked for him to look quite straight faced and look away from the camera, instead of using images with direct mode of address, as the pose of looking past the camera emits a 'cool', relaxed feeling.

whilst taking images of Jeremy, I used the same direction of looking away from the camera, however, here I experimented more with different angles at which to take the images. I wanted to see if side angles or low or high angles would create or contribute to a particular image. However, I feel that to suit my sketches for the advert and the pose in which I want the two band members, a more level angle looking directly at their face is best suited.
