Grunge Photography

Grunge photography
To get a better idea of what I would need to do to prepare for my magazine cover shoot, I researched grunge photography as well as looked at the photography of grunge bands used on their promotional posters and albums.
I noticed that the photography used in grunge style shoots was nearly always over-exposed, high key lighting with a grainy filter. These different factors made the photographs appear much edgier and tougher, suggesting that the people within the photos were just that. This also reflects the ideologies held by grunge fans and musicians, they didn't sugar coat things and make things prettier, they stripped everything down to the basics, exposing their beliefs and attitudes to viewers.
