Photographic Influences

These are the initial ideas that I think would compliment my magazine well. They suit the 'look' i'm going for extremely well and are all of a feminine look which is my aim. I'd also like my models to have an intricate hair and make up look. Although my magazine is aimed for tweens and I dont want to promote the obsession and promotion of make up but for this chosen photoshoot I want make-up to be one of my main focus points and what I'd like the whole picture to revolve around.

I like this image because of the way it has used young, fresh and feminine colours to create a high quality picture. The model is wearing a top that has flowers on to create a main vocal point, and every colour in the image compliments and contrasts the other, even the models lip colour and the background work together well. The way she has her hair is a young and up and coming hair style and it works really well, young girls aspire to be like these girls and they want to look like them, be like them and with this hairstyle it is suitable for that. It's a very angelic option that creates a pretty look. The shot type is a medium close up, portraying the models expression. This picture is originally from Vouge magazine and they focus alot on  their make-up and fashion. So the close up shot could be as a focus point from the make up. I would like a girl band on my front cover but this would look nice as an image as part of my double page spread. Where each 4 of the models will have their own image and all 4 of the pictures will be lined to create the certain composition. 

The thing I like about this image is the 4 girls all have a very different costume but it works together and contrasts really well to create a trendy look. They're all wearing the same types of clothes but they all look different and portrays each members individual own unique style really well. You can tell each member has their own distinctive style which has warped really nicely to this chosen costuming from the producer of the shoot. The girl on the far left, here has quite a tomboy style but with a little bit of femininity. For example, Her combat pants, large shoes and still camo belly top looks a little masculine but her little crown shows she has some girly-ness in her too. The shoot was made for Teen Vouge and like the image above the main picture was probably made for fashion and publicity purposes. The long shot shows each element of this well, portraying they 'care' about the clothes they wear and as it's what's in fashion it probably is a demonstration of what's 'in'. The clothing choices are probably abit too revealing for the tween generation but it still develops and portrays the same things.
I am aiming for something along this wave-length to be my front cover but with one model with a more young, vintage, girly theme. It will be a fun image on a set such as an Ice-Cream parlor or a fun but fashion, hair and make-up based look in a studio with the correct lighting and a selection of vintage props.
