Photo Shoot 2

These are a few of my favourite photos from last nights photo shoot along with some examples of pictures that I will not use. I have created a Slidely to show all of the photos I took during the photo shoot as well which I added to the end of this post.

In my opinion this photo is one of the best pictures I captured as it contains three strong representations of the genre Country and Western (the belt, the banjo and the boots). Her pose is relaxed as she 'sits on her hip' which gives the idea that she is comfortable and the picture was taken in a relaxed environment.

Another one of my favourite shots from last night! This photo accentuates Brittany's eyes and the lighting is great as well. However I didn't plan to actually get her hand in the photo so if I choose this to be featured in my magazine I might have to use photoshop on her thumb nail to make it seem polished so it shows that she is a big Country star.

This shot was taken on the ground which makes her look quite laid back. I especially think that her hair and makeup in this shot are how I want them to be seen in the magazine.

This was the first picture I took where the model wasn't smiling. I think it would change the whole tone of the magazine if I incorporated this photo. Since she isn't smiling it looks less inviting than some of the happier photos I took, however it still works very well as she looks rather high fashion and her eyes are widened. Girls in this generation look up to people in the media who use poses like this because it shows off their confidence and makes them look fierce, for example Beyonce in her "I Am Sasha Fierce" album or Miranda Lambert in her "Gunpowder and Lead" photoshoot (as shown below).

Although Brittany's face isn't shown in this picture, breaking conventions, I do think it's cool how you can see the motion in her shawl.

This picture is a bit like the previous one however the shawl is static and Brittany is now facing the camera. This would be a good photo to use because I think it was successful in representing being liberated and proud. This would further change the tone of my magazine, thus adding diversity into what I could write about on my double page spread.

This facial expression is similar to one of the previous ones but she looks slightly smug instead of looking fierce, this is due to the tilt of her head and slight smirk. It just goes to show how big of a difference one slight movement can make to your photographs.

The lighting in this photo is all wrong in comparison to the pose as her face is very dark. I would've expected the lighting to have been much more fun and bright to compare with her sassy pose but this just didn't happen. However I do like this shirt as it adheres to the conventions of the genre.

I probably wouldn't use this photograph as it is blurry and the light is far too bright. As you can see it has burnt out their skin. However I do like the different facial expressions of my models since it shows a contrast in the personalities of their star images which appeals to most people in my TA.

Although this picture has many drawbacks like how it is very blurry and the background isn't very practical, it has inspired me to use the same pose in the next photo shoot I do. I loved working with two models instead of just one because it let me use a wider variety of poses.
