Album 3: Planets Revisted

The Photo Shoot
All the photos on the following slides are all original photographs that I have taken. (Evidence of this will follow). On my blog, I will explain my choice of final photograph and in the notes here I will explain why I didn't choose the other photographs for the actual album cover.

All photographs that are shown in the following slides are all original and taken by me. There will be evidence of this after all the photographs taken from the shoot have finished.

As I was only allowed to choose one photograph for my final choice, there will be 29 other photographs that I haven't chosen to be the photograph that I use on my album cover. The notes on each of the photographs will be why I didn't choose the photograph apart from the one I actually chose.

My Choice:
I did the Photoshoot for Album 1 and Album 3 on the same day and decided I liked 2 photographs with the bricked wall location. The photograph chosen is similar to one of the first photographs from the album 3 photo shoot and the choice was made because of the better lighting in the Bricked Wall Photograph.

Photo by Jenn Farr

I liked this one, but...

This one had better lighting and no shadows - This is my choice of PHOTOGRAPH for Album Cover number 3.

Chosen Image

This will be used as the photo on the Album Cover

I will photo-shop Anbu and Poppy out of the photograph and put them into a different background, to make the background different to Album Cover number 1.
