Chosen image and reason

Chosen photograph from front cover
photo shoot.

I have chosen this image as this was the most popular choice from the results of my peer review. It is also my preferred photograph from the shoot as I feel their body language and facial expression reflect alternative music magazines conventions and ideology's of representation of alternative bands on their front covers.

It also reflects the individual personalty's of the two band members as I positioned the model on the right slightly more forward which shows he is more open with his audience and fans connoting he will be more willing to reveal his personal life, his mouth is also slightly open which anchors this idea.

I placed the second model behind to show he is slightly more reserved however his blank facial expression connotes his slight attitude and passion for his opinions and views. He is placed behind his band member to also connote that he is reliant on his band mate even if he slightly too arrogant to realize it. However overall their brightly coloured checked t shirts and fresh faces connote to the reader they are friendly, their causal clothing shows they are 'normal' and 'down to earth', it does not appear through their dress code they have anything to hide although their facial expression is not giving much away to the reader, this is another element of this photograph which intrigues and attracts the reader and alternative music genre fans. 

Their direct eye contact also draws the reader in. Their blank facial expression and position reflects the typical conventional way in which alternative bands are represented in alternative music magazines.
