Contact Sheet 2

This is my final outdoor shoot. I had to provide an additional shoot to my indoor shoot to employ a range of various pictures to make my magazine more appealing and interesting. The setting of the outdoor pictures were at the skate park and in the woods, it was raining which reinforces the characterisation of 'Cecile Rose' the way she is created to portray in the magazine. Also, I took a few indoor pictures in my bedroom where Megan (the model) is made to look like she is writing her songs in her diary. This creates a personal connection with the reader and adds a exclusivity to the article, as her bedroom is in her home as if the audience is looking into her private life, behind-the-scenes.

Contact Sheet from osnapitsalina

This is the contact sheet for my final photoshoot. The majority of my images are close-ups and are in portrait rather than landscape as my main focus was to achieve a picture for my front cover. Both models, Megan and Karishma were to represent their genres to the best of their capability. For Karishma, a microphone, electric guitar and explicit hand gestures were used to apply to the genre rock. Whereas, Megan had unusual make-up, unique poses and looks to establish her genre electra-pop and to accompany her interesting lyrics and controversy that is supposedly following her in the media.

Model Release Form

Karishma and Megan both agreed to model for my magazine by signing the model release form.

Choosing The 'Right' Image For My Front Cover

I am still deciding on my image for my front cover, I have finalised these three images with the exception of one that is with a different filter. I want my front cover image to be unique and not the standard posey image you see on every magazine on the shelves. It has to represent the artist, thus the overall point for my magazine is to reveal the true identity of the artist and what never-to-be-told gossip they are witholding. I am leaning towards the fourth image where 'Megan' the model is  wearing a white dress, which connotes purity and innoncence - it puts forward the message that she has nothing to hide. I think the image looks raw but at the same time established, due to the make-up and the quality of the image. There are no shadows masking her face which indicates that she is ready to disclose all information with the consumers.
