Photo Shoot Images

I organised my photo shoot to be in a studio so that the background would be blank and I had the use of the studio lights which helped me control the grading of the shoot.  I made sure my artist was wearing her everyday clothes to give her a casual look unlike conventional magazine photo shoots where artists can be dressed up to much.  This gives my artist the representation of being down to earth and like normal people, opposed to being fake and dolled up.  Most of the poses I had my artist do were inspired by Terry Richardson's poses, which I had looked at earlier.

Here are most of the images from my shoot.

Planning - Photo Shoot Poses

I have looked at some photo shoots of celebrities by the photographer Terry Richardson. I used his style for inspiration because his photo shoots are known for their eccentric and sometimes controversial poses. So I think a photography style similar to Terry Richardson's would suit my magazine because it will appeal to my younger audience because he uses themes like sex, humour and fashion.
