Connecting Essay 4

In my image, it is of the a sound technician and the studio equipment and deck that is used to produce the music that my band recorded that day. The image has strange lighting as because it is in a studio there are no windows in the processing part of the building, there are just lights from the ceiling, this gives a really cool effect because it illuminates only certain parts of the image, creating depth of tone and an overall interesting image. The angle of the shot is very effective in showing the processes of what is happening,  along side the technicality of it. 

The angle of the image means you get a head on view of what the sound technician sees and does, this gives a creates a cool perspective to the viewer. The window through to the band gives an interesting look into how the music starts off from another room full of mics and equipment that records the audio and then transports it to the technician to process and mix. The lighting in this picture is quite dim and varies less than my image. In terms of process and insight in to recording the second image gives greater understanding to what it's all about.

Both images are in black and white, this both clearly maximizes tone because in a studio the lighting is very low and changing therefore all the soundboards etc look better and more clear and contrasting when in black and white.The images are also very similar in terms of where the lighter parts of the image both exist, they also show very similar processes, in image 2 you can also see a band playing, this gives more scope to what goes on in the studio.
