test shots (music studio session 1)

After previously looking at the way photographer 'John pesina' presented and shot his work on 'Jonathan Terrell' and the way he showed him in the studio and then out on stage with the crowd I took it as inspiration when heading to the studio. The studio is where I want to capture the majority of my shots as its the place where my subject creates his music and my project is on the DIY production of music, I also shot there because I feel I can capture raw emotion when he is rapping into the mike and when music is being produced. I also wanted to focus on capturing a sense of my subjects flare which I think is a important aspect of my project.




Here is the contact sheet I have created after shooting with my subject in the music studio, I am very pleased with how they came out as the lighting in the studio was very good which allowed me to get some nice photos. I tried to get the light only showing my subject as it highlights his emotion when he is rapping and in the studio, it was hard when picking what photos I wanted to use but below you can see a few that I have picked out. two of which will be added to my final images.


























So Below is a selection of photos that I chose from the shoot at the studio the first two are the ones I have enlarged as they are my favourite I feel they capture raw emotion on my subjects face as he's in his place of work. I have also thought about the composition by including a electric guitar in the photo to show that music is incorporated into his lifestyle following 'Stuart Hall's theory on semiotics I have tried to make that part of the language that is figured out when viewing these photos. 

At the very bottom you can see I have a photo of my subject behind the mic, I was not that pleased with the photos of him actually rapping so I am going to have to re visit the studio in order to catch my subject maybe with the rest of the band, but also focusing on his rapping and the emotion on his face when he does so. Also in my second visit to the studio I want to shoot photos off my subjects fashion sense to capture his individuality.
