This is a good example of how id like my photo to look as there is lots of colors and good use of lighting. The subject is very prominent in the image and everything is very bright with nice highlights on the drum kit. Marco wants the drumkit to be a key part to the photo as well so I will try and set my photo up more like the example above which shows the drummer and his kit unlike the photo at the top which shows more action than a portrait of the musician. I will use a black back drop for my photo as this will make the subject of the photo much more prominent and it will the photo an overall much more serious look.
Marco wanted his picture to be done in the studio i found these pictures that i thought would relate to what he wanted. These photos will also help me develop my own idea and make my finished photos look much better as i can analyze these photos to see what works and how it has been achieved I also came up with a lighting diagram so i can quickly set up the lights to how i need them. This is a very simple lighting diagram but for the photos that i wanted to achieve this lighting set-up will be perfect as they light the drum kit well and also brings out the main subject being the client. I wanted to light the drum kit this way to bring the kit out and make it bright as this was one of the requirements of the client, this is why i chose this lighting setup as it helps meet those requirements and will make the photo look professional.
