In preparation for taking my first set of photographs for my music magazine, i will analyse and evaluate several poses, looking at the clothing, makeup, facial expressions and body language. I would like the models on my magazine to follow a punk/indie rock style, with a girly edge, and so i will look for the same style shown in these images.
Although the video has audio commentary, due to restrictions on how long each audio clip can be, i had to include some text to accompany the video, which i have added below. The Youtube link has also been provided.
Please press play.
- This image, showing Lily Allen, gives a strong rock girl image, mixing it with a fairly girly feel. She's wearing a dark purple dress, with black lace underneath it, with a minimal amount of jewellery. Furthermore, her expression is fairly simple, while still giving a stare that oozes attitude. I feel that the dress leans toward the girly side too much, and i hope to create a more indie-rock feel, and so i would not dress my models in a dress similar to this. The pose itself is quite simple, with her hands on her stomach as she leans forward, and so it is one i would consider asking my models to use.
- The makeup follows the same style as the previous image of Lily. Both wear clothing that would be considered high street fashion, with Ellie in a silver crop top, and white shorts, while Marina is in a dark grey play suit. Both are wearing the bare minimum when it comes to accessories, only wearing an earring each, both of which are a similar colour to their hair. Moreover, the poses that they're using are very simple, with Marine standing with her leg bent at an angle, while Ellie stands in a neutral position with her hand on the back of her head. I would like to use the idea of a 3/4 length image on my music magazine, but while i will keep the models in a fairly neutral position, i would like to ensure that their faces are used in some way, as the facial expressions shown on this image are fairly uninteresting.
- This image of Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine shows a slightly punk rock, girly style which i would like to consider reproducing on my music magazine. The dress on the left is more punk rock than the one on the right, which follows a much girlier theme. The left image is considerably darker compared to the right. The dress has a navy blue top, and a brown feather skirt. On the right her dress is mainly light blue, with a small print in navy blue. Her makeup in both images is very simple, with a little red lipstick and some black eyeliner. The poses are quite simple, with her looking down with her hands on her hips in the left image, and her hand on her head, while she faces away from the camera in the right.
- Here we see Ellie and Marina on two different magazines, where the same style from The Company magazine has been maintained, showing their personal fashion style. Ellie's wearing a sailor hat, while her hair has been curled. In addition, she's still only wearing a small amount of makeup, with most of it being eyeshadow and eyeliner, and a pale orange nail varnish. Her clothes, being a white crop top worn underneath a purple striped shirt follow an indie theme, but are also considerably girly, which reflects on her personality and music taste. Marina's follows the same theme, as her makeup consists of only black eyeliner, mascara, and a bright pink lipstick, while her hair has been slightly curled and styled. She holds a coloured stone to her eye, which draws our attention to her face and the bracelet on her wrist, which compliments her dark hair colour. Her top is simple, with the bright blue contrasting with the stone, and linking to the pale blue background on the right side of the cover. I will have my models hair down and styled naturally, to give off a more relaxed feel, as well as using the idea of natural or no makeup.
