Variation Of Photos

These are photos that I have taken at a 5 seconds of summer concert, at concerts and gigs it can be difficult to get decent pictures of the acts performing as there can be many people in the way, too many lights or too many people on stage that you cant get them all in on one shot. Whilst I was at the concert I tried to take the best pictures that I possibly could by deciding who I wanted in the shot and then deciding what kind of shot I wanted it to be (close up, mid shot, long shot etc.) once I had decided what kind of photo I wanted to take then came the hard task of taking the photo avoiding the distractions around me such as people arms. On magazine front covers concert photos are rarely used as it can be very hard to get a good and clear shot which shows the meaning of the magazine and creates a clear visual syntax for the reader, when concert photos are used they are edited to make sure that a certain part of the image is clear to get rid of any unnecessary parts that may cause a distraction to the reader. On my music magazine I will make sure not to used any concert photos on the front cover of my music magazine as they can be hard to take and unclear for the reader that may want to purchase the magazine, however concert images can be used on the contents page or double page spreads as they can be interesting for the reader to look at and learn more about the artist and what they do (in this case the band is a pop rock band).
