Photo Shoot

I took images of my little sisters for my music magazine, because I didn't want any of myself!











I used this specific mise en scene, the white plain background with the rugged white wooden floor, to make the artist stand out. After taking the photos I had noticed that the lighting is poor, so that is one factor I would improve if I had chance.
           These 3 photos above are the photos i have chosen to include in my music magazine. My magazine, MANIC!, will be aimed towards teenagers/young adults, interested in music such as metal, punk and screamo and with their being a young girl as the main artist, shown on all, the cover, contents and double page spread, it creates more controversy for the buyers. It gives the magazine a much more daring, edgy feel to it, as it is risky putting a young child on the front, which is how the readers, themselves, feel. The personalities of the readers will relate to the front cover, with it having a different edge to it. I have also decided to go to another level and include, not exactly explicit, but words that you wouldn't normally see on the front cover of a magazine e.g 'arse'.
          Putting a young girl in the magazine also relates to the rise of young YouTube stars, such as the latest teen-hit sensation, Justin Bieber. Oh god. He started off as a young 15 year old boy living in a small town in Canada. He loved to play Ice Hockey and singing was just a hobby. After getting bored one day and putting a youtube video on the web of himself singing, he started to gain more and more hits on his videos and was then founded by a man known as 'Scooter'. The fact that Molly, the artist, is only 8, it relates to the fact that young stars are on the increase and that the magazine can also relate to others around the world.
