TEST PHOTO SHOOT

In the studio, we didn't really have much to work with apart from big bright lights. So we used them to our advantage and did some test shots in preparation for our photo shoot. We moved all of the lights around and tested different shots.

We then thought about having the lights in the room off apart from the odd few to give this effect. This looks pretty good, but a bit too dark and you are only able to see the outline of the band.

We then tried with the flash on to give more lighting to the face, and it worked. This was the kind of thing we were aiming for. We wore indie clothing to represent the indie pop genre that our band is set around. 

We then tried the shot with the full band. We decided to show a blank emotion on or faces because that is the most stereotypical thing to do with an indie pop band.

We tried different things to try and get the best possible photo. We tried looking at Darren and walking away to create a bit of humour for the photo.

When we were messing around with the camera and trying out different things, we produced this. We feel that this was the best photo we took. The lighting on the photo looks really good only lighting half of my face. We are thinking that this could be the idea for our digipak, but with the full band (obviously).
