Ancillary tasks - magazine advert (and possibly CD cover)

As most acoustic songs have a 'summery feel' or lightness to them and tend to have quite light colours on their albums and album adverts, so I thought about experimenting with photography.
Quite a few artists star themselves on their album covers and in their adverts, so I thought about taking a few photos of my actor and seeing what I can do with them, based around my ancillary tasks. As the weather is getting nicer and it's getting warmer, I want to play around with lighting and the sun (eg, flare in photos) and warm effects in my pictures, of which I think the majority of my target audience would like (teenager aged 14+).

Before experimenting with sunny and warm weather, I took a photograph on a winter day where it was quite cold and grey.

I used a 'sepia' filter whilst taking the photo so it's almost black and white. It has a vintage feel to it which is often associated with the acoustic music culture.
(Likewise, so is the beach and coastal areas.)
