Front cover photos

a few examples of Photos that could be used on a front cover

These photos that i have taken from the internet are of individual artists and also groups for example - swim deep or the stone roses. These photos could be used for cover photos on a magazine for a few reasons. In all of these photos, the models being photographed are all looking in to the camera lens (apart from if sunglasses are being worn), this draws the viewers attention in. most of the images are close ups or medium close ups on shots of individuals, other shots include medium shots/ wide shots/ establishing shots, or shots that use the fish eye effect (Radiohead image)

Some images use effects such as black and white or sepia tones, some has high amounts of contrast and some use various different lighting to create a certain look.

The back ground is also very important, backdrops, studio sets, outdoor settings and natural backgrounds can be used to represent certain genres of music for example the backdrop/ setting on the 'professor green' and 'Devlin' image are of what seems to be a street and a garage door, this is representing view and image of 'rap' and 'grime' music.
