Arctic Monkeys Album Cover, with James
I decided to use the Arctic monkeys album cover as inspiration as it is one of my favourite modern albums. I also feel like the image is very effective. It looks as if the guy in shot really doesnt care whats going on and i feel the photo catches that perfectly.
I had always wanted to use the image but strugled to find somewhere with a similar background that was outside. The image needed to be outside as the man is smoking in shot. The guy smoking is one of the main noticable parts and i needed to be able to copy that.
It was when i was outside on another photoshoot that i noticed the college huts thats outline was very simular to the curtains in the album cover. It was then i decided that i was going to go ahead and do that cover.
James was my first choice to use in the image. He is one of the closest representatives to the man in the album cover and he smokes so smoking for the cover would not be a issue.
The photo was taken in three shots, only retaken to perfect the stance of the man in the cover.
When editing the photo i made it black and white and changed the setting to make the image look more grainy.
I glad i decided to use this image and i think it has turned out very well.
