Photo-shoot Photo analysis

Blog 24:

I have chosen three photos from the South Shields photo-shoot to analyse, to show my reasons why I took the shot.

1) Hilly Standing

I took a long shot of Hilly, standing in the wooded area of the park. She is wearing outfit 3 (see previous blog post), with the added prop of 'hippy' style sunglasses. In this photo Hilly is standings quite awkwardly with her hands hanging to her side and her feet close together. This fits with my genre of music magazine as I want to style her, as an artist, on Lana Del Rey or Bjork, and they both have a quirky/awkward demeanor. 

The sunglasses hide her eyes. I think this is effective as it looks like she is hiding something, which may entice the reader of the magazine if I were to use it. 

The natural framing of the branches above her look effective in this shot as her face is situated in the middle grid (rule of thirds) of the photo. 

2) Hilly Sitting

In this photo, Hilly is pictured in outfit 1. She is sitting on the stairs leading to the main park. 

In this shot, Hilly is looking off camera in an upright pose. This gives an almost regal effect to the photo and suggests she is important as the camera is looking up at her. 

3) Hilly and Tree

This is final photo I am going to analyse. Hilly is pictured peering from behind a tree. Her hair is draped behind her and she is wearing outfit 2. Hilly is looking directly into the camera. This is effective as it engages with the (possible) reader and if it was used in my magazine would make a good front cover as it covers many of the conventions I have seen in the magazines I have analysed.
