To take my picures, I went to Harlow Common. The reason I chose this location was because, firstly it links with my country style of my magazine. I think the fact that the horses were there helped me to portray this country style and also, the checked shirts that Katie and Lizzie wore are associated with this style too. The only problem we had with this location was that it was really muddy, so any shots I wanted with their shoes in were difficult to take because of the mud we got on our shoes.
Also, as Harlow Common has a lot of greenery, I think it set the scene nicely because it showed a 'peaceful' atmosphere which I wanted my band to get across. In the middle of the common, there is a round huddle of trees and we went through there to take a few images because I think the twigs as a background looked really effective.
The second location we used was a brick wall and a staircase underneath a block of flats in the Rundells in Harlow. This was only a short walk from the first location at the common. The reason I chose the brick wall background was because it helped create more of a focus on the two girls, rather than having any distraction from anything in the background. I liked this location because the wind blew through, creating a flow in their hair which was an image I had already pictured that I wanted to take. However, sometimes it blew the opposite way, so in some photos their hair is over their face.
