Unused Photos

The reason i chose the picture I did is because i thought it was suitable to the magazine. I like the photos where the model (Joe) is banging the sticks together and the 5th one down but I thought they may give off a more aggressive impression to the readers. I did not want this to happen because this pose may be associated with heavier rock/metal. I also decided on the one i chose because he was pointing at the reader, which i thought might draw people to it.

However, I need to take another photo because the one I chose is slightly out of focus. The new photo will be the same pose though, although I will take multiple photos of multiple poses.

All of the above photos are way too weak. They WILL NOT be featured in my magazine at all. The photos do not connote rock music or alternative music. I need to make my photos punchier in order for them to fit with my ideology.
