For my second topic i have decided to focus on music photography as again this is one of my passions.

The picture i have chosen to display my affections for this type of photography is of ‘The Enemy’ frontman Tom Clarke. I decided to opt for this picture for many reasons as the enemy are my favourite band, but mostly because i saw them at this years V festival which is where this picture is from.
The picture is a mid range shot of Tom Clarke showing pure emotion in his face as he delivers his much loved music to the masses. The smoke around creates the effect that he is actually rising up from the depths of it, thus really bringing the photo to life.
I think the photo shows tom clarke in an alpha male-like pose, invoking emotion and passion, much like the enemy themselves did at v festival for thousands of drunken fans, myself included.
The colours in the photo are mostly dark, while the guitar is white, thus emphasising it. I doubt this is done purposely, but it creates a good effect showing that a rock star is nothing without their instrument.
