Photo Shoot Plan

I have to produce several of my own photographs for my music magazine, therefore I will be holding a photo shoot for my artist. My artist will be Elizabeth Bailey. The photo shoot will be held in several locations; including the Albert Docks and outside the Liver-buildings.
       The photo for my front cover will be a mid shot of Elizabeth; showing that she is wearing a shirt under a dress with an over sized Levi denim jacket. This has a mise en scene of the indie rock genre. She will have her arm up on a ledge, creating a 'no nonsense' portrayal of my artist which is frequently used within the rock genre. Also, she will have a large cross earring on show, and will be wearing red lipstick to contrast with her Auburn hair and attract the male gaze.
        The photo for my contents page will be similar to the front cover. It will also be a mid shot; however it will be from a high angle. She will also have her middle finger up, reinforcing Cohen’s Moral Panic as it will intrigue the audience to read the article. The background will show some water and an ocean safety traditional life buoy, emphasising how she is on the coast on a summer’s day. Yet again, she will have her cross earring on show and she’ll be wearing red lipstick.
         For the double page spread, I will choose three photos; one of Elizabeth standing in front of the Liver Buildings, and another of her posing infront of a white wall
. The photo of Elizabeth in front of the Liver Buildings will highlight her hometown and upbringing. She will be wearing red nail varnish and lipstick, which is clearly visable, to yet again highlight her Auburn hair and contrast with her green dress. The sun will be shining against her hair to to increase the visablitiy of the colour. I have also made sure that one of the Liverbirds' is on show, to strongly portray her background.
        
Moreover, the photo of Elizabeth posing against a white wall will be a medium close up, with the white background clearly highlighting her Auburn hair. Yet again, she will have red lipstick on to reinforce the male gaze. Her mouth will be open, as if she's about to bite, creating a seductive image of herself. The lighting will be quite dim, representing the dark stereotype of rock music. However she will be wearing a cream shirt to contrast with the darkness, as it will emphasise how she also fits in with the acoustic indie genre.
          Additionally, I will take a photo to Elizabeth to create my own album cover for her. It will have some of her Auburn hair covering her eye, conforming with the normal rock image. She will be wearing a white shirt, and a green jumper. This will portray the indie and acoustic genre she is also expressing. Her cross earring will clearly be on show as the image will be a close up, supporting Dyers' Star Theory.
