Different photos we took to use for our poster and magazine






















We took various photographs for our magazine and poster, using different perspectives of Kareem and how he's portrayed through a camera, in these selected images we see images of his close mate Skyvez located in different part of the images in some of the photos, we showed this through the depth of field created in the image, sometimes Skyvez is in a shallow focus and some of times he's in a deep focus, this was deliberately portrayed as we wanted to show Kareem thoughts of Skyvez, one of the images where Kareem is looking over his shoulder as if he's in a state of paranoia as if he doesn't trust him even though they're meant to be partners in crime. One of the other images we see Kareem giving a sinister look to the camera with Kareem giving him a 'dirty look'. We had 2 individual photos of Kareem, we created a contrast between these 2 photos with one of him dressed in a deceiving way and another in a casual, notice he is looking towards his right which projects him to be looking at a new way of life because in Islam we have a way of saying that the right hand side is the good side. We had a couple photos of Skyvez with him again in one of them looking  to his side and we also played with lighting to show the level of darkness and lightness on the face. One image in particular that was an accident but we thought it would work was the one in Kareem in the light having Skyvez in darkness slightly seeing his face which visualised a mysterious image. Overall we created a theme with our pictures showing the different views of Kareem, Eventually we decided for the poster that the shot of Kareem on the side was perfect. We arranged these pictures in a studio with a selection of lights which gave that professional finish to our photos.
