Choose an image…. Describe it

• This is a photo taken by Rukes on the 25th of April 2013 of Steve Aoki at Hakkasan in Las Vegas. The picture was taken with the intent of including the crowd, the stage and of course the incredible light display. The purpose of the picture would be to show the atmosphere and advertise both the show and the artist. Some editing techniques have most likely been used on this photograph to enhance how sharp it is and to make the crowd look more packed together therefore making the show look more intense.

Composition

• The composition of this photograph was clearly very well thought out, The photographer obviously purposely included the entire of the crowd to make the room look bigger and busier. The angle the photograph was taken at creates the illusion of a 3D image making the photo itself look action packed. The height the photo was taken from allows the artist to be shown in the background almost submerged by fans, making it look like the fans are extremely close to the artist. The camera that took the photo had a very wide lens so it seems to fit the whole room into the picture making it look like the eyes of a member of the crowd rather than a camera.

Techniques used• The photographer uses many

different techniques and effects on his photos, each photo conforms to the standard rules of photography such as the rule of thirds, making each photo look the best it could. Some photos use different effects for example the coloured lights shown in the pictures on the right give the picture more of an energetic feel and give the photo depth. One photo displayed on the right uses an effect around the edges to almost push the picture towards the centre, this makes the photo look more action packed and lively. Some photos also include effects used whilst the picture was being taken such as shutter speed modifications and exposure settings. This has good effects on the lasers and can improve the picture by a long way.

Strengths & Weaknesses• The photography of Rukes has

many strengths making him a very well known and respected music photographer, The angles of the pictures are very unique and as well as going for the generic angles he also manages to find a whole new range of places and shot set ups to use throughout the show that he is photographing. The effects he uses in his photography make a huge difference too taking the already impressive looking laser lights and turning them into a spectacular show of electronic magic.

• The only slight faults are with the amount of images that look the same and certain dull, unedited images.
