Locations used in existing magazines

I have decided to take a look at some location photos used in magazines that are already existing, hopefully inspiring my own photographs to be original and more interesting.

I really like this photo because of the location which is very rural, in a field. The colours of the nature surrounding the musician are very calm and soothing, this can be seen as the musician himself looks very calm and happy.
I like this type of scenery because it is very calming and could imply that the artist in the photo is a calm, down to earth person.
What I also like is that the musician is dressed in dark, natural colours and is letting his guitar rest on him. Also the way he is  sat down makes him look very relaxed and feeling comfortable in the place that he is at, as if it would be his happy place.
Since I haven't yet decided as to whether my star's personality will be wild or very calm, I will consider this as a connotation for peaceful, happy, down to earth and calm.






I am not too fond of this scenery as the snow is too plain for a background in my opinion. However, this artist looks very calm as if he belongs here, and he is not dressed with a coat, which make him look like he prefers the cold and I really like that.
Not only is he calmly playing the guitar, but he is also not making any eye contact with the camera/reader, instead her is concentrating on the playing. I really like this pose because it looks like the shot was taken without him knowing so, and that is what I find oddly charming about this photo.
The overall colour scheme of this photo is cold as there are no reds,yellows or anything like that, which could imply that this person is 'cool'.




This photo was taken at a children's park, on the swings but that's not what I like about it.
What I actually like about this photo in particular is that these artists don't even look like musicians, they are having fun on swings and acting wild, drinking. I also love the way this photo was taken, not on the ground and not exactly posed, the photo is in mid-air and the models are in movement.
I also love how one of the model's legs are placed on the actual text and text wrapping is used to make them pop.
Overall, I think this is one of my favourite photos because of the style, how it was taken and how natural the stars look.
