Q4 techniques employed to produce the context of images (everything outside the image) from beginning to the final presentation of the pictures

Magazine

Many magazines will frame the images on their pages. A lot of magazines will feature cropped images, or sometimes edited from the original so that certain parts of the image can be seen closer or even further away. 

Exhibition

The images at exhibitions are generally manipulated and not normally by the photographers who took the photos. Most of the images are put into frames but sometimes are left bare to show the true original image. Most of the galleries will have to produce space to make way for their presentations.

Q2 How images are formatted and produced for each of the two contexts. How are they made and displayed

Magazine

Many images for magazines are taken on location or in studios depending on the type of magazine. For example, National Geographic will encourage their own photographers to photograph images on location. This will normally be photographs of wildlife in their natural habitats. National Geographic also encourage people to send in their own photographs. Other magazines like Empire and even Vogue tend to not produce their images on location and favor to use studios.

Most images which would be found in magazines like National Geographic are not enhanced by software such as Photoshop, but many of the images in Vogue magazine are prone to using editing software on the images of the models. I personally do not agree with manipulating photos in this way, especially on the models, because it does not show their true beauty.

Exhibition

The images found at photography exhibitions tend to have been enhanced by using various software such as Photoshop. These pictures have been enhanced so that the photographer could get the best out of the images so that they are the way the photographer wants them to be. The origins of these images would have been taken on location or in a studio.

Gorillaz concert at London's O2 Arena - 14th November - Concert Photos

The following pictures were taken on the 14th November 2010 at London's O2 Arena. I was there to see Gorillaz in concert, and I can honestly tell you, they were absolutely amazing in concert. As I was standing very close to the front, I decided to take some pictures...

 Damon Albarn, probably one of the best musicians of all time...

 Special Guest Star 'Nenah Cherry' who came on to sing 'Kids With Guns'

 I took a moment to show the visuals on stage

 One of Gorillaz's new found guitarists 'Mick Jones' who was from The Clash

 Another Guest Star, the singer from the first support band Little Dragon

 Guest Star 'Daley' came on stage to sing the latest single 'Doncamatic'

 The singer from Little Dragon came back, the two singers really showed emotion while singing this track

 Gorillaz's new bassist, 'Paul Simonon' who also used to be in The Clash

All in all, it was an absolutely amazing concert. I would rate the concert 10 out of 10, it was that fantastic.
