16. Photo Evaluation

I took my first set of photos in my living room, with the room well lit. I asked the subject to stand holding their guitar, and look as if they were playing it. This was the reason that the subject was looking down in the majority of the images I took. This was unconventional for my front cover, so I decided to do a second shoot, where the subject was looking at the camera, so there was eye contact this time. When I decided on a good image for the front cover, I cropped around the subject so that I just had them, so there were no distractions in the background. I took a series of photos of my guitar, some when it was leant against the wall and some when it was laying down. I chose a good image and cropped around it so that I could have a transparent background for my contents page. I went to a local gig to get the images for my double page spread. They're not the clearest of images, but it gives the page a realistic feel from a fans perspective.
