photography ideas

Ian - Kerrang! - lostprophets Photo
NME Double Page

I've been researching magazines like these and the style of photography would be suited for my magazine. I think having one person or group of people as the central image/background would be good as that would then show the reader straight away what the main story in the magazine will be about.
If I was to just have one person on the cover, then I would have more of a selection of secondary images (like in the issue of Kerrang). A similar idea will be used for the double page spread but more likely I will have to have a group of models for the background, and the interview below the picture. But like with Hammer, I would have a focal colour and possibly edit that in to the image, so its more consistent.

I would prefer the shot type to be a medium close-up for the front cover and contents page, but for the double page spread I think a medium long shot will work better, as then you can see more of the 'band' the models will be portraying.
