My music magazine is themed on the electronic music genre which makes it a little difficult for me to think of ways in which it can be represented in photographs. I decided that it would be best to take some photos, out in the woods somewhere, and then edit the images in photoshop so as I could include lights and effects to make it look electronic-esque.
I considered the possibility of using a studio for my photoshoot but I feel as though the outdoors represents what I want to express with my magazine, (Freedom, etc.), rather than an enclosed space. Yet a simple picture of woodlands or a person has no relation to electronic. I concluded a blend of both natural and unnatural elements were required for the images I wanted my magazine to feature. In reaching this decision I realised I had made a bold artistic decision, not just for my images but for my magazine as a whole, that my magazine would feature surreal images in order to express the music visually.
So I plan to take my camera down to the woodlands and shoot several photos in various poses and locations, keeping in mind what will need to be edited in post-production, for example ribbons of light, colours, planets in the sky or a whole magnitude of other electronic elements.
