Selecting and Constructing photography for the music magazine

I looked at a series of websites to find appropriate professional photography that I could use in my magazine. This is because:
I need to have lots of options for what to use in the

magazine. I need to have plenty of variety that helps to represent my music scene accurately.

I like this one because its plain and clear. I like how the colours connect and blend with each other which also makes the women stand out more and she matches the colours.

It could be used for a artist that is maybe going on tour so they could put it on a poster advertising the tour. It would be a good imagine as it stands out with it been so simple.

I would use this as the back of an album cover. If I was to use this as the back image I would have a picture of the artist in the same pose but showing her frontwards so it is like a mirror imagine when the album is flipped over.

I like this photo because it gives you a tranquil feel. I like the light effect on the photo also.

If it was to be an album cover then it makes me think that it would be for music such as Acoustics, calmed or even country music types.

This image reminds me of the artist Gwen Stefani. Also, it feels like it could link to Alice in Wonderland slightly which a lot of artists on music videos have a theme of. This would be a good album cover as it kind of shows you what type of person she is e.g. style.

Here are some more photos and graphics that might help me to establish the overall look of my magazine
