Front Cover;
This image is a midshot of a teenage girl. The image is taken outdoors and the lighting is all natural, this has made the image look very bright and the colours all stand out very well. The pose of the girl in the photo is very confident, she is showing attitude and looking straight into the cameras lens, these factors will apeal strongly to my target market and the overall look of the model fits in well with the RnB/ Hip-Hop genre of my magazine. The model is placed in the centre of the image, this insures all attention is on her when a reader looks at the image. The background of the image is a brick wall, this makes the photograph look very urban, this again will fit in well with my music genre and help attract my target market. The model in the image is wearing a hooded jumper, this is a connotation as hoodys are assosiated with teenagers (my target market) & also hoodys worn a lot by RnB artists and people who listen to it.
The next 2 images are both quite simular. The images are all taken in the same outdoor setting and the lighting is all natural. The images are both taken in front of brick walls, this is to make the image look very urban, this will help attract my target audience. The brick wall is also a good background choice as it can be linked to the streets and city, these are connotations that are related to my target audience. In the first photo the model is posing with a phone, this will relate to my target audience as a mobile is an accessory most teenagers have become addicted to their phones and so hopefully the audience will see a simularity between them and the model. In both the images the model is wearing an american style hoodie, this is a connotation of youth today, and my target audience will find it very attractive. The hoodie also adds to my artists over image and 'swagga' which is important in the eyes of my target market.
The photo below has been cropped out of one of the previous images. I cropped the picture as now are eyes are drawn straight away to the models face when we look at the photo. This is very effective because the model is making ye contact with the camera and her facial expression gives the impression that the model is very young and vulnrable, this will help target my chisen audience as they may relate to her and be interested in finding more out about her.
These images are also very simular as they are shot in the same setting. Both the photos are mid-shots/ long shots of the female model i am using as the artist of the magazine. The pose of the model in the picures is very simular however in the first picture the model is looking into the camera and in the second she is looking away. Out of the two poses i feel the second is more effective, this is because the eye contact between the model and the camera creates a connection when looking at the photograph. The setting of the photos is very urban, the brick wall and fence help create this opinion and the the view behind the fence is covered by a tree which makes the setting slightly mysterious.
The next two phots are shot in a music studio. I chose the studio as a setting as i am making a music magazine and i thought the instruments and tecnology around would connect with the theme. Both the images are shot from the front and the lighting is artificial.
The first image is a close up of the model, she is posing infront of a microphone with headphones on, she is also making eye contact with the camera lens . The headfones and microphone in the image are connotaions that represent music and singing, the pose of the model fits in well with the RnB theme as she is showing confidence and attitude.
The second image is a midshot of the model looking into the microphone, she again is wearing headphones, the props clearly show that the model is a singer whcih helps me show my magazine is a music magazine.
For the second part of my photshoot i decided to take some action shots of my artist rehearsing. I used a dance studio as the setting as i thought it would connect with the story in my article and show that the artist Alisha Carter is rehearsing for her tour. I decided that for this group of photos i would need 3 more models who will pose as backing dancers for my artist. The images worked well as its clear that the girls are practasing a routine that is connected to music. The poses of the models also suggests that the genre of the music is RnB / Hip-Hop, this is down to the attitude they are showing. All the photos were taken in the same room and the lighting is artificial. The slideshow below is of the photos i took;
