This photo is at a low angle, this portrays the model as more important as it makes him look taller. The model for this has a direct gaze which is good as it makes a connection between him and the audience, he has a serious facial expression which conforms to the stereotype of grime music as hard hitting and truthful as it highlights various social inequalities in places such as West London. It is in mid shot which means you can see the mise en scene in his clothing which truly associates which grime music as what he is wearing is a stereotype of grime clothing. Also, there is a shadow over his face which gives it a cool kind of look which is also closely related with grime music. The negatives of this are that you can see the brown on the outside, if I decide to use this image in my magazine then I will have to crop out the brown, also the lighting is quite poor as there is a shadow behind him.
This photo is at eye level angle, this works well with the direct gaze as the audience can clearly see his eyes, this creates a real connection between him and the audience.
This is also in mid shot which means you can see the mise en scene too like the fist photo. The lighting is good in this image as there is hardly any shadows in comparison to the first photo. The negatives with this are his hair is quite a mess which makes kind ruins how I imagine my magazine to look as I want it too look quite professional. Also his face isn't as serious as the first one and the photos I want, I want him to look very serious as this connotes the stereotype of grime artists.
This photo is very similar to the first one, but the main difference is that he is facing the other way, this was so I had a wide range of images to select from. The main positive from this in comparison to the photo above is that this one has less shadows, so looks more like a real photo shoot.
This photo is also in mid shot, with a direct gaze and is in eye level angle. His body is straight in line with the camera which gives me a variety of different poses to chose from and this one is good because I believe it attracts the audience better if he is facng directly towards them. His hand gesture clearly connotes to the grime scene as this is a common pose for the grime audience and grime artists. This photo also has the brown round the outside and if I decide to use this image then I will have to crop out the brown bit.
Overall, these photos are good options because of his clothing, which closely relates to grime music as he has a puffy coat and a man bag. The negatives with this are that his hair is a bit messy which subverts from the stereotype of grime because they usually have quite short hair. the problems I had with this location was that it was hard to get really good lighting as this place probably had the best lighting and still had shadows and looked quite dark.
