Band and artist imagery
In this image of Rihanna, low key lighting has been used,
the use of low key lighting draws your attention to the
protaganist, which in this case is Rihanna. The shadow that
is casted on the wall and shadows most of her face makes
the picture mysterious once again drawing you into the
image. The colour red is dominate throughout this image,
the colour red suggests lust and in this image has made
Rihanna look quite promisucuous. A binory opposition has
been used in this image through the use of props. Rihanna
is eating what looks like to be a starwberry lace sweet,
these sweets relate the childhood and children however in
the environment have been used as a means of seduction.
Over all i believe this is a sucsessful image as it protays the
genre of Rihannas music and Rihannas personality.
This image of Kanye West has been edited so that the
image is Black and White, the effect of this edit is that the
image stands out and is striking. The Black and White edit
emphasises his clothing and we can see that he is stylish
and young. This makes the image appeal to Kanyes
audience as they are the younger generation and are seen
as stylish. It is well known that Kanye West is wealthy and
the camera flash that has been reflected on his sunglasses
emphasises this even more as it represents that he is
‘flash’.
The dynamics of this image of Take That are very
unbalanced as the band are not spread out equally,
four of them are lined up and one in behind the
rest. This could deliberate as when the band
rejoined they did so without Robbie, who is the
man behind the rest of the band, however Robbie
then rejoined the group, therefore emphasising
that he is the new member. In some ways this
image is very formal as they are wearing quite
formal outfits, however they are outside which isn’t
a formal setting. This represents the band and its
target audience as they appeal to more of the older generations and mainly women however by
being represented as informal they are trying to appeal to the younger generations.

This image of the Arctic Monkeys is very informal
as the band do not look they are on a photo
shoot, they look like they are doing everyday
things and wearing everyday clothing. Also not
one of the members of the band is looking at the
camera. The use of informal clothing and setting
represents the genre of the band’s music which is
indie and also appeals to their target audience
which is a quite niche audience and also the
younger generation.
My Chemical Romance is the band on the image
on the left, they are a heavy rock band that target
a niche audience. Low key lighting has been used
in the image, the low key lighting emphasises
there genre as it is dark and mysterious. The
picture is well balanced as the lead singer is
positioned dominantly in the centre of the image.
