Choosing the correct image

Choosing the correct image all depends on the person that you are taking the picture of. There are a lot of things to consider when taking the perfect photo.
These are a few things to think about:
- Clothing
- Positioning
- Lighting
- Props
 This is the image that i am using for my double page spread. I thought about the clothing as my genre is country, and wearing something casual like a shirt and some jeans, and maybe a hat, would definitely fit my genre. I decided to have this type of clothing because i wanted people to look at it and immediately think of a country artist.

The position of the person also determines how good the article will turn out to be. I like the positioning of this because it shows that they are into what they are doing. It shows that they are interested in what they are doing. An image like this is what people want to see on a double page spread.

As there isn't really much lighting to this image, it still looks effective without a shadow. However, as i have photoshopped the image so that there is a coloured background so that it would match the colour of the background on my double page spread of the magazine. Although there isn't a lot of light, there is a sharpness to the image showing the proper focus the camera had on the person in the image. 

Again, having the perfect image all depends on what is used in the image. So using a guitar, this ensures that the audience will definitely know that my genre is country. If the clothing wasn't a big enough hint towards the genre, the guitar should definitely help show that. On the other hand, the use of the hat ensures that the person looks like they came from, or grew up in a southern country like Texas or somewhere like that.
