Photography

These two images are very different.

 The one with Lady GaGa in is more of a dynamic images. It has a grey/silver background which contrasts with the black lace bodysuit and her off white hair.
The angles in this photo are very interesting. There are many lines used. They all join at a point which makes the limbs look connected. The lines create a path way leading to her face. This makes her face the main focus point. The shapes are very angular. There isn't any curves from her body. This could suggest a strong women. The angle the photo is take from is relatively front on. Her head is slightly tilted up to symbolise that she has higher authority then 'us.' Her eye-line is straight forward but her eyes are just half open which could signify a feel of seductiveness. The centre of her face is along the 2 line which creates the focal point of her face. The photo hasn't got Lady GaGa slap bang in the middle. She is towards the left side, it makes it more interesting.

In 'The Source' the photo has a grime element to it. It's a head shot of a man with a gun to his throat. You can see the man himself is muscular, with tattoos which creates a 'gangster' feel. The fact he has a gun in his hand creates a darker side. The expression on his face is very unique for a typical front cover. His eyes aren't just closed they are squeezed closed which could represent fear. The eyes are still along the 2/3. He is slighting looking up which could be a biblical symbol, 'pray to 
God.' The background is also a grey/pebble colour. It looks like a concrete texture. Which adds to the style of grimy/hip hop. The photo has the man slap bang in the middle, this usually isn't done but here it works because it is such a strong image it has the main focus in the centre.
