Comparisons - Double page spread

This is a double page spread from Mojo

I liked the image as it showed Neil Young in action, live. I tried to create a similar image in the sense that i wanted to show my artists in action, I did this using my double page spread.

It is similar in the sense that it shows a guitarist playing, however as the band I am using is a small band I chose to take images in their home studio however I feel this was still a good creative decision, as lighting in some of their gigs was not effective for a magazine image. I feel that this will be more professional overall and will be more appealing to my target audience.
