Photography of My Artist

Before the shoot of my video i dressed my artist in the clothes i selected and started a photo shoot, taking photos of her in the location that my video was gonna be set in. I took various shots of her doing different things, if the photos work and look effective i may even use some of them to create my magazine spread and my cd digipak. I was pleased with the outcome of the photos i took, and i believe some of them capture the exact look that i was planning to make.

 

I changed this photo to black and white because i believe that it makes the original photograph look more poweful. Grace crossing her arms and looking straight into the camera makes her look fierce, confident and controlled. Her oversized denim jacket and thick gold chain relates to Rihannas style and the paleness of her face stands out against the dark background. Its a mid shot so you can see half of Graces body but also the background around her which is isolated and empty which adds to the 'urban, street' feel i wanted to capture.

 

 

 

Here is a close of shot of Grace i took with her standing infront of a wired fence. Her teeth baring and the gold chain are on show which connotes with the rigid background and makes her look chilling. I edited the photo in black and white to make it look more intimidating and urban. Her piercings are also on show which shows her confidence and her independence.

 

 

 

This is a original shot with no editing. The background also looks empty and isolated and the bright bold colours really make a statement in this shot. Its also a mid shot like the first with half of her body on show and the gloomy sky with the healthy greens around her. Her outfit colours work well togeher and work with the red lipstick and blue bandana. I felt like her straight face pose makes her look tough and fierce and her arms folding relates to this aswell.

 

 This is also a original shot and i felt like no editing was nessecary. Its pretty similaur to the one above and i think the empty background adds to the photo because it creates a more isolated and dangerous feel as she is completley alone. The clouds in the sky create a unerving feel and it still has that urban edge i wanted to portray.
