Photoshoot for feature artist- Feature page

For my feature artists I'm using models with indie looks similar to my main cover girl, this makes the magazine relate therefore sticks with the magazines genre making the magazine more sell-able to the target market. I've been inspired by many of my research magazines to take a photo-shoot like this one as the popular magazines all had this professional feel to there pictures. I experimented with the photo-shot for my feature artist page to capture a range of different music outlooks.. The setting of the shot ranged from a white backdrop inside to a forest woods at night time. When planning my feature artist page i needed to consider what would work with the cover girl 'glamorous' feel of the cover page. I decided to use the same model to keep the glamour look and genre of the magazine but placed her in different settings to create that indie music vibe i was aiming for. The setting that i felt worked most effectively was the outdoor sunny pictures, i feel they gave off the most indie glamorous combination most effectively. The pictures give off a sunny atmosphere which relates to the title of the magazine 'SUMMERTIME MADNESS'  therefore i felt this scenery was most appropriate to my magazine. Examples of the photos from the shoot are below: 

Photo-shoot for magazine- Summertime Madness

Photoshoot inspired by Cara Delevingne female model and singer. Cara gives a rock music look which i feel relates well to my magazine. I feel Cara has inspired me as she relates and has the look that i want my female solo singer 'Ivy willows' to represent.

For my photo shoot i used Abbie Lester as my model to represent Ivy Willows. I used a white backdrop so she stood out and was a central focus. I then changed the lightening in front of her so the light was aimed to the left of her face, this brought out her key features and made the photos stronger. I felt my photo shoot was successful as i felt the photos had a powerful outcome.

Model (For Ivy Willows)- Abbie Lester.

• I feel Abbie creates the perfect characterises for Ivy willows as she has a indie look naturally, I think this impression is created through her long brown hair and tanned skin. Abbie reflects both indie and  acoustic. Abbie reflects what i want my target audience to look like through fashion sense/style as well as through hair and makeup.
• Using abbie as my artist, will mean she will feel and look comfortable in clothes and make up that she is used to wearing. This will give the shoot a more relax effect as abbie will feel comfortable playing the part of Ivy Willows.
• By using Abbie as my artist the target audience 16-25 will be drawn to the magazine and they will feel like they can relate to abbie through the way she is dressed and the image that she reflects.
• By using Abbie as my model means the audiences will identify the genre of the magazine through Abbies look/style. This will also reflect a 'type' of genre that will be aimed at individuals.
