My photography- what i was asked to do and how i responded

I've been ask to produce 9 quality photos, 3 in the studio and 6 otherwise. It took me a while, but i finally came up with an idea that i felt comfortable with. I decided to go with song lyrics. As the theme is 'youth cultures', i wanted to go with meaningful lyrics that could relate to teenagers. I used lyrics that could reflect their mood or their character.

The images below were my first testers away from the studio. I wanted to try and capture colourful backgrounds and i wanted to see if the text would stand out. I like the look and character the images give, but i think the busy backgrounds are distracting from the main purpose of the image.

Comparing the images with a wall background to a woodland background. I think the woodland background looks very nice, i like the dark background tones because it makes the person holding the sign standout. Although the tree background is distracting, i think the image is very nice. On the other hand the wall background isn't to distracting, but the use of lines on the wall is more eye drawing. The image it's self is good though.

Also comparing the street background to the other backgrounds. I think it looks okay, but it's not a great background to use, as the busy background is distracting. The background does give off more character though, but there are to many overwhelming colours going on. I think the colours don't compliment each other.
