Photo analysis

This is one of the photos which I took for the photo shoot. I think I am going to use this image for the front cover. The model is wearing a dress which has a prom style to it which would link to the teenage audience very well as some would have their school proms so they would be inspired by the dress which my model is wearing as this may be the sort of style they may want to where. Furthermore the dress has black flowers placed diagonally across the dress also connotes the girl audience as they typically would be attracted to flowers. My model is wearing a tiara this connotes power and royalty. It links to the idea about being glamorous and having authority this relates to the idea of being a princess.  In terms of my music magazine it implies the pop star of being a 'Pop Princess'. By using the tiara it would draw the audiences attention as it is a common object which the young girl audience would appeal to. The model is looking directly into the camera which shows she is engaged with the audience. This would grab the audiences attention and entice them to purchase the magazine.

I think this image may appear on the contents page as it would remind the reader on who the main article is about. This image will be included along with other images which will present features and other exclusive articles inside the magazine. My model is wearing glasses which is also known as 'geek glasses'. The use of the glasses creates the feeling of being at school and also being clever. This relates to the target audience as they would all currently be in full time education. It also connotes a fun and exciting side to the image, this links to the music genre 'Pop' as the music illustrates the varied and enjoyable music.

I think I am going to use this image on my two page spread. This photo is a mid shot so it shows most of her body which is suitable for the two page spread. This image would take up one side of the page, this would make the audience aware that the article is defiantly based on her. Her outfit that she is wearing are the clothes which are in trend at the moment so they are authentic and go suitably well together. Additionally she is wearing high heel shoes which are girly and connote elegance and also her confidence which portrays her personality which you can find out in the interview. In my opinion I think that this outfit is appropriate for my music magazine. My model is showing some skin on her legs as she is wearing shorts but I do not think this would be any inconvenience towards the young teenage audience as I am trying to get the message across that they should feel confident in any type of clothing that they wear. 

I am not sure whether I would like to use this photo for my magazine. If I did use this photo it would appear on my two page spread as it is a full body shot. I think the choice of clothing works really well together and links with the theme of black and white which I would like my magazine to represent. However I don't think I like the body language which my model presents as I think she may look slightly awkward, furthermore her facial expression appears as quite serious which a pop magazine doesn't commonly illustrate.
