Photos of me (guitar 2)

I like the lighting of this photo and the framing to bring focus on the shirt + face, however the background is not perfect.

I like the more laid back composition of this shot, the audience can feel more of a personal relationship with the band. 

Examples of intertextuality can be seen with the hoodie and cap which are both merchandise items from rock/metal bands.

I would be interested in experimenting with editing this photo to add 3D/glowing style face paint over the top to link with the animations in the video + other parts of the website.

I like the direct mode of address and codes of expression/gesture in this photo which again communicates a more personal relationship between the band and the audience. 
 

I would like to use this photo as an interactive part of the website where the user can scroll to reveal Photo Booth/polaroid style photos of each member of the band.

I have individual photos for each band member with this backdrop and their instrument. I feel the background is simple enough to not distract the audience but also fits in with the image of the rock genre. 

Examples of intertextuality can be seen with the hoodie from another band and various stickers that reference horror films (that are closely linked to the rock image). 

Each member of the band will have a photo with a Funko Pop that relates to their personality presented on the ‘About Us’ page. For this one, the figure is of the lead singer of KoRn which is a band mentioned as an inspiration on the website.

The background is of a rat cage (which is also brought up on the website) as it is busy but not too distracting.

I like the framing of this photo as i feel it gives it a certain ‘edge’ associated with the rock genre.

I like the full body shot and subverting gaze, however the houses in the background are not ideal.

I feel this image would be ideal for a magazine front cover created by the band for the audience as a more unique piece of merch. Many rock bands collaborate with pre-existing music magazines to sell specific issues on their website.

I do not like the angle of this photo and I feel the lighting is quite dark so I will likely not use this photo.

I do not like the composition of this image or the shadow on the background so will likely not use it.
