Tracking An Artist - Task 13

From these 3 images above, it shows the development of drake through a time period of around 8 years. There isn't any obvious change and I feel Drake has done this to show he is still the same person and hasn't changed massively. On his Instagram, website pages and when he performs live, he is always thanking his fans, friends and family showing his humbleness. There is some changes to his presentation of album covers. He still remains in the centre of the frame, however in his recent photos, he isn't actually looking at the camera, this is because he doesn't feel the need to attract the attention he needed before as he has already created the reputation he needs. As well as this, the use of gold has been very effective, showing his status, and power. I feel the difference in location between the first and third album cover shows his ability level and how far he has come in the industry. The first photo is showing he is on the ground connoting he is at the bottom, and the third photo he is in the clouds, the top of the industry. This point can also be shown by one of his songs which is actually called 'started from the bottom'.

 

By following Drakes career, I am able to see the changes he has made and try to see why he has done this. I found the difference in album covers very beneificial as it shows how he has developed in different ways through his career. This will allow me to take into consideration any changes I feel my inspirational artist has changed which will ultimately effect the way I shoot the cover for my song.
