Evaluation Q2Photo Comparison(My magazine Vs. Real Magazine)

My magazine double page spread imageRolling Stone double page spread image

SimilaritiesQuote Marks the font style is very similar also the size and placementQuote Placement both quotes on the image are to the right next to the models head but above their shoulderClean grey colored background this keeps the viewers eye on the subject compared to a different background which would be quite distractingLow Key Lighting in both images which create a very dramatic, intense feel which is very rap likeBlack and white image, promoting the dramatic feel also the high contrast contributes to the look of the imageSomething around the neck which relates to rap culture in some way, 2Pac has a chain with a gun around his neck and guns are a very big part of most rappers lives however I was not able to get any jewelry so I resorted to using a bandana which represents rap culture.Angle of the image is from right in front of the model on their height level

DifferencesMy model is wearing a snapback hat which is a very big part of rap culture today as many rappers are seen wearing them some even have their own snap back lines for fansThe low key lighting my image is very harsh and only one side of the face is properly lit which is a classic photography technique used to show that the subject has a dark side it also contributes to creating drama within the image and giving it a serious feelMy models chin is up while 2Pacs is level with the image, the reason I went with this change is because the artist is very young and full of pride as well as confidence and that posture often shows thatMy model is kind of looking down at the camera with his chin up this makes the subject appear strong as well as imply that he is on a higher level in life as in class & status. 2Pac however is just looking at the camera with an intense look and his head turned a bit to the leftMy model is wearing his clothes while 2Pac isnt wearing his and is showing off his body and tattoosMy image is a close up portrait while the Rolling Stone image is a closer to a mid shot and the framing isnt as tight as mine
