this is my favourite picture as the compostion is good and she looks very relaxed which is what i was going for. however i feel the lighting is a bit dark which i could edit on photoshop.
i took these to coincide with my initail ideas for my front cover; i wanted a folk singer to be playing an instument in the sun. so with these pictures, with the help of my girlfriend, i am able to see what works and what doesnt. i decided to use blue which connotes emotions and makes the singer look like her songs have depth and meaning, which is a theme present in many folk songs that are often about a tradgedy or tale. i also wanted her to look very mellow and i used natural lighting on a sunny day to give the festival folky feel to the picture. i feel like i have learnt a lot about angles and shots and i have tried to think about how the image would affect any writing on the page like the mast head. i feel some shots came out well and others not so well but i now have more ideas for my final photo.
I'm very impressed by the progress you have made Charlie. your ideas seem to be coming together to form a cohesive message. You're beginning to use terminology confidently and thinking abiout how your cover will appeal to the audience. Try to include a bit more analysis and comment about your original photos and scan in a sketch.
