Planning My Photos

Location

I have decided to take some of my test shots outside, just to see how natural lighting would effect the pictures. I did like the outcome, however because I didn't have the correct equipment to make my pictures believable I have decided to take them in front of a green screen instead. This is so that I can edit the background to my advantage. I can manipulate the background which is unlike taking it in natural settings as it would be impossible to control the mise en scene and unpredictable.

Who am I planning on taking pictures of?

I have decided to not use a classic look for an indie pop artist. Instead I am planning on using my model Christel who is 16 years old. I am using someone I already know because again the reduces the risk of unpredictably also they are easy to get a in touch with and plan my photo shoot with. As I am already friends I know what their comfort zone is and how to act with them. Hopefully by using a friend I will be able to produce a good end shot. 

Clothing

As my magazine isn't classic pop I have decided to almost juxtapose the style of my model by them wearing a dark colours. Black would then contrast with the light pink leather jacket I am going to place on my model which I think would clearly portray my idea of my magazine being pop that is represented by the pink and then the black which symbolises how it is the mature side of pop to fit my target audience; it shoes the versatility of the pop genre. Also this type of jacket would represent my social group as well as it would be the kind of thing they would wear.
