Here I have taken 3 medium shots of my artist - Demolisher, who is on the right and his side kick who is on the left. I took this from the front so it is clear to see both of them. I have taken this picture in colour and also black and white. I think the black and white one gives a more edgy and rough look which suits the Grime genre more.
I did a simular photo to the first however this time I did it of the artist Demolisher, alone, without his side kick. This is so it is clear that he is the artist and that there is no confusion between the both. He is looking directly at the camera as I felt the audience could engage with him and it'd feel as if he is looking directly at them. In the background you can see part of the location. The railings suggest danger/beware so I thought this would be a great location to film as it conveys the Grime genre of looking tough and fearless. I also took the same photograph but with a black and white effect, as the railings in the background and the my artist leaning against it gives a very tough and rough look. It suggests that he may be from the estates or a deprived area he is still working hard with his music.
In this medium shot I took it slightly from the side. This was so the 'Thieves Beware' sign was visable. It gives a very 'edgy' look to the photograph. To support this I also took it in black and white.
These two photographs I took from the side. This makes more of the location visable and emphasises the 'Thieves Beware' sign as it is closer to the camera. I didnt want him to look directly at the camera for this shot as I didnt want my artist to come accross as intimidating. Again the same photograph was taken in black and white, this was I have a range of photographs and the meanings behind the coloured and black and white vary.
In these two photographs I have shown both, the artist Demolisher and his side kick. However to make it more clear that Demolisher is the artist, I made him stand infront of the side kick slightly, so theres no confusion. The first imagine is slightly dull however shows the location more. The second photograph is black and white and is slightly more closer than the first.
In the last two photographs Demolisher is leaning against the rails. Here his designer jumper 'Stone Island' logo is visable. This shows that he may be from a working class background however he is still working hard and is able to afford expensive clothing. I wanted him to be facing the camera directly as it emotionally engages the audience. It makes the audience feel like he is looking at them. Him looking directly at the camera is him looking out to his fans as asking for support towards his music.
