Photo-shoot of Solo Artist

I decided to do another photoshoot as i realsied i anted to include another artist on my contents page. I decided to chose a solo artist as it show how my magazine targets a wide range of artists in the industry. When taking my photos i tried out many different angles for the shots. The mise-en-scene for my photo shot i wanted to portray the ideologic impressions of a normal, everyday, teenage girl. I did this by the fashionalble image and also by having shots taken sitting down or looking in mirrior. The image i wanted to create for this solo artist was an indie look. I firstly researched into some indie pop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_indie_pop_artists

Then this lead me to look indiviually at the artists image and style of clothese they wear. I also looked into some indie music videos on: http://www.mtv.com/music/indie/

Florence and the Machine

These picture to e inspired me as they reflect real life. The artists image is unique and colorful. Also te pictures remind me of summer. The artist is not looking at the camera and i believe this is code for the idendence and attitudes she play in society.

These picture of another solo artist also help me understand the indie genre. The artists is simling and having fun, as if shes young and care free. The colours are very bright and bold so they sand out and are could be code for wanting to mkae a statement. The mise-en-scene again is reflective of everyda life and show us how music is part of her life.

From this research i have a greater understanding of the indie pop genre and also the style and image of the artists. This reasearh has influence my photoshoot and helped me produce some good picture:

The bold eyeliner and bright pink lipstick used in the picture is reflective of teenagers growing up and trying out new looks andmakeu. The flower in the hair links to some of the other flowers used in the shot; wallpaper, flower bed, flower t-shirt. I wanted the model to wear summery clothes as the magazien issue is being published in June. Also i wanted her to wear bright girly colours to attract the readers attention and appeal to the appeal to demographic females iamge. The model is not smiling in every picture and this is code for teenagers being moody and having an attitude. Also in some of the picture the artists is not looking directly at the camera and i believe this makes the pictures look more like everyday life than someone posing for a picture.
