The model I used for my photos was my sister, I chose her as I felt she represented the age of my target audience as well as a person who could fit in to the pop genre. When planning for my photo shoot I had a few ideas of what images I would like to capture. Some of these are that I wanted shots of her holding an instrument of a kind- I also wanted her in two different outfits as I found that lots of pop magazines have the featured artist in different clothes on the front cover and double page spread. This was important as I wanted to ensure I was following some conventions of a pop magazine. When shooting for my front cover picture I had initially intended to get a shot of her looking straight on to the camera. However when taking the pictures I did not manage to get a photo that I felt would connect with the audience. I originally planned to do the shoot at night however I did not take in to consideration any plans that she may have and in the end had to settle for photographing her in the evening. Something that is portrayed in some of the pictures is her reluctance to be photographed this is something that I tried to fix later on however I believe that this may still come across. Another issue I had was the lighting within my house as how it translated on the camera- using the camera is not one of my strong points and unfortunately this may be seen in the images however I believe that I may later on be able to fix this through the use of photoshop.
