The images above depict the three stages my image has gone through before coming to resemble (loosely) the image that I have envisioned for my final draft, as the image was intended to emulate the iconic image of the Clash's album 'London Calling'. For this to be concieved, organisation of actors, props and location were important. The image was required to be taken against a dark background in a place with little lighting and it was also important for the boots to be apparent as they are central in the actual image itself. The guitar, also, needed to be held centrally and with the same attitude as in the original image, emboying the feeling of punk in the original. To create the feel of the original it was essential that I had the picture completely in Black and white and also that the background remained blurred (conciously keeping the main image within focus as part of the article theme). So for this I also had to cut the main image off from the background. This was done using the Paint.net eraser tool and then flipping the image vertically so that the stance depicted from Rachel mirrored the image on the front.
