These photographs were not taken specifically for this media task. In year 10 I did a photography course using the theme of music. These are two images that I thought appropriate for this piece of work therefore decided to use them instead of taking new pictures. I did this because I found these pictures well suited to my magazine.
Photograph 3
This is a mid-shot of a boy playing piano. He is smiling, indicating happiness and joy, this could suggest that the music is having this influence on him. The photo is black and white, giving at an authentic look. This also adds the naturalness of the action shot. The photograph was taken in black and white, therefore further manipulating was unnecessary. The lighting captures his face well and creates a shadow on the door behind, adding more life to the photo. The light also hits the piano keys making it quite a striking part of the image.
Photograph 4
This is a close up of a boy playing the guitar. It has only captured him from the lips to the knees (as he's sitting down). You cannot see his facial expression therefore the main focus of this image is the guitar; making the first thought music. I enhanced the images colour on 'Toycamera Analogcolor' for my photography project (I unfortunately am unable to locate the original photograph). The background is very dark with the end of the guitar disappearing into the black. The main light source is focussed on to the middle section, his body and chin. It also captures his hand very well, showing clearly the actual playing on the instrument making this another action shot. Although slightly posed, the movement within this picture gives it some naturalness.
