This is the first photo that I have picked from my photoshoot. In this photo I have used a high angle shot, with the model Imaani, looking straight at the camera. Having the model look straight at the camera is a good technique to entice an audience in. Also the photo may not have been as eye catching if she was not looking straight into the camera. Another reason why I chosen this photo is because she is sitting on a chair, rather than standing up which is more of a common pose. The reason why is because it gives the photo an edgy look and also makes the model look confident, which suits my genre R&B as the artists are usually quite confident and cocky.
This is the second photo that I have chosen from my photo shoot. With this mid shot photo I have used a black background rather than white, as this will make the model stand out and instantly this will be what the audience will look at. Also in this photo I like the pose that Imaani is doing, a side on pose whilst still looking straight into the camera. The reason I like this pose is because its similar to some of the models and poses on popular music magazines such as billboard.
This is another photo which I have chosen from the photo shoot. One of the reasons why I have chosen this medium close up photo of Imaani is because of the lighting used, as this is a key feature making the photo really stand out in front of the black background. The use of lighting here will allow the audience to see the clear facial features of the model, and as well as this the lighting and the type of shot used draws us to look directly to the face. This is seen as a good aspect of the photo as my target audience are female, and the female audience will be interested by what the model looks like, what make up the model has on etc.
This is the forth photo which I have chosen from my photo shoot, which is quite similar to the first photo I chose. One reason why I chose this photo is because of the white background used. The white background allows us too see everything clearly, and the lighting enhances this. I believe that having a light picture allows the audience too see every detail within the photo, giving them more to look at rather than a dark, shady picture which will not attract the audience.
This is another photo which I chosen from the photo shoot. This medium long shot photo allows us to see more of the model, so the audience can now see the costume in more detail, and as the audience are females, this can attract them as people copy and follow what celebrities are wearing. Another thing about this photo is that even though the pose could be seen as more sexual than the others, this can still work to suit the genre and audience as it makes the model look more interesting and confident like the artists in the R&B genre.
This is the sixth photo chosen from my photo shoot. Using this mid shot photo allows the audience to see more of the model, so the photo is focused both on the costume and the face. The costume/pose, with the hands in pockets in this photo suits my genre as again it is showing confidence and cockiness, and as well as this the serious face reinforces this. I like this photo as it is a bit different to a normal close up photo of a models face.
Overall I have chosen these photos as my favourites from the photo shoot because they all have good qualities of what I want on my magazine front cover. The different aspects of the photos that I like include the different poses in each photo, the change with both black and white backgrounds, the different costumes used in each photo etc. Also, the reason why I chose these photos is because I believed that they suit my target audience of young females.
