PHOTOGRAPHY: BEFORE AND AFTER.

This shot was taken outside the middle campus of Ludlow College. I decided to use a stone wall as a background in order to reflect a sophisticated and rebellious look. My 'models' are Tom and Jake; both two people who i think reflect my chosen sub-genre. Their clothing consists of a leather jacket, a band t shirt, a checkered shirt, a beanie and wristbands. After researching existing rock musicians, i discovered they follow the same sort of dress sense. The props in this photograph are a guitar, and a cigarette; things associated with rebellious 'rockers'.

I decided to use this image as my front cover, as the guitar and the rock like hand gesture really reflect my chosen genre of music. I edited my photos using the online programme 'ipiccy'. First i cropped out a fraction of the background, and altered the exposure and contrast. I then decided to use a sepia effect, as no effect would look 'boring' and normal, but a black and white effect might of clashed with the features of the front cover. Also in the process, i added a 'beard' to Tom, to create a more older impresion, and also to connote coolness.
