photoshoot

i like this photograph, it works well for the contents page because you could wonder if there's a different person under the make up, and the slight smirk on her face makes her look inviting 







i like this photograph for my front cover, i think it makes her look care free, like a lot of young adults are, also the person looking at the magazine could be curious to her location and what that has to do with her music. 

i think this photograph would be good for my double page article because its almost like she's inviting you in to read her story and she what she's like behind the make up. 

in these photographs i think i have captured the stereotypical emo/goth vibe. i think that the photographs show a rebelliousness and could appeal the a youth audience. i don't want my music magazine to look like the typical conventional style of of emo goth music magazines like kerrang i want it to look individual and different.
