Photo shoot for magazine cover and analysis

As you can see, the colours used in the photos I took are dull dark colours and are taken at night as I want my cover to look enigmatic and I want the audience to be intrigued as soon as they look at the magazine. Also my genre of indie is a little peculiar and ranges from other cliché genres such as pop and rock. I realised each photo features the bright white light somewhere which I think gives an eerie feel as if something is being hidden from the audience and more people need to listen to this genre of music and in the future it could become more popular with more ages. The people presented in the pictures always face away from the camera too and I think this helps finalise my idea of indie genre as there is something else to be known about this type of music. It differs from others.
