Photoshoot

Strengths and weaknesses

The strengths of these photos are that they are of similar poses to those you would see in a proffesional magazine as the poses show off the personality of the actors and characters involved also the minimal use of make up shows to the audience the real person and doesn't come across as fake so the audience would associate and create a relationship with the audience. Also the setting in the first photo is also quite a good one as it could suggest going back to her roots where it all started so the photo shows off personality in an effective way. The way in which they don't look at the camera suggests attitude so the audience can see how the performers have a bit of arrogance about them suggesting they are confident so they have been succesful or have success. Looking away from the camera also makes the reader want to find out more about the artist involved as it creates ambiguity and suspense suggesting they might have something to hide so they want to find out more about the artist making them want to buy the magazine.

These photos also have weaknesses the costume used isn't the most effective and doesn't portray the genre as effectively as it could have but the costume used is still relevant to the genre as they arent wearing dark black clothes or highly provocative clothing and the make up used is minimal so it doesnt over exadurate the artists look. The magazine is for a dancey dubstep audience so a lack of black and dark colours is good as that would represent a rock magazine such as kerrang  but as these photos don't they are representative and relevant to the genre. Another weakness is that the photos aren't as proffesional as they could have been as on the photos used in the studio show off a small bit of shadow but this isnt too important and doesnt effect the images to much. In relation to professional photos these photos could maybe so with better facial expressions and body langauge although the sultry and moody look still is effective as it shows off their personality so the audience can see the true artist.
