Practicing shots

In order to understand different shots which were used within music magazines we looked at some music photography and analysed what the conventions are for these photos, through this we picked out what shots are usually used within music photography and especially in shoots for magazines, we highlighted the aspects of the photo that make it conventional for a music magazine, we then were asked to use the techniques and skills we learnt and take pictures which would be used for music photography. 

This photo would be for bands within the shot I was trying to include depth as the reason in which I included the side of the corridor, it is a mid-shot which is usually used within music photography and magazine as it is very common to show the musicians closely. In this photo I also used the rule of thirds which is why i placed the musicians on the right side of the photo. 

Within this photo I used a low angle to include more depth in the photo, I also used a technique which was quite common through the research in which we done on music photography this was multiple focus, multiple focus usually makes the photo look more unusual and sophisticated which suits music photography. Multiple focus usually makes the viewer see all aspects of the aspects and realise it's depth. 

In this photo I positioned the models right in the middle of the photo as used in some musical photography in order to convey the message that the musicians are the central point of the picture which adds importance to the musicians and shows that they are the central focus.
