Above I have added the contacts sheets for the first cover page photoshoot for my magazine. by looking at my photo spread out I can narrow down which ones work with the genre easily as well as using mise en scene to show what I did well and what works with making my model look nature in the genre’s style. Looking at my the shoot plan I made before the shoot I can see that I was able to get the correct narrative that I was looking for from the shoot and the model.

I used the camera to form my narrative by positioning the model in a natural position that can be seen as relatable to the genre and using the camera to capture a movement or face expressions I am able to denote more emotions to the audience. Furthermore, by using the flash photography techniques I learned from the blog I was able to use a soft low key light used and white lamp with a cover to give the images some depth and more profound shadows.

Overall, In my opinion, I think this photo came out really well in representation of my genre and the model did really well to do that. But next time I will give more pointers to give me more opportunities when making the magazine, as her facial expression shows strong emotions but that was the one emotion portrait throughout the shoot due to me not being picky. the genre is all sad and dark rather an alternative to normal music. It is hugely important to make the shoot relate to the audience and create a positive judgment with the genre’s audience to be more effective.
