Photographic Influences.

I think these photographs are good influences because they are very posey, dramatic and powerful. They're mostly all one person shots which is what I am aiming for.
The costumes, makeup and setting for these images is something I would like to bring together and use in my piece.

























I really like the abstract and fresh composition of this image. I like the fact that it is different and not seen before. I think this is a good trait to have in an image as this will make people remember and recognise it. I like the makeup in this picture, it is smokey and dark, which makes me think this person has something to hide and that they have a darker and mysterious side to them. I think the line in this image is very different. The positioning of her hand and shoulders give a very dynamic feel to this image and I would like to take this into consideration when take the photographs for my magazine.



I love how this person is positioned in a way that most people wouldn't expect in a magazine. I think this would be a better photograph to influence my double page spread image if it was a bit wider and showed more of the location as I think it would wow my audience and it wouldn't work on a front cover in my opinion as I think there would be too much going on with the text and mast head as well. I like the lighting in this photograph, I think it is very asymmetrical and highlights the abstract lines in this image. This intrigues me as I would like to make my lighting dynamic and interesting as this is.







I also like the line and positioning in this image. I like how she looks like she has an attitude on her. The way she is grabbing the heel on her shoe gives her a 'bad girl' and a 'diva' sort of feel to her. This image is sexy and smokey and I think this would be a good influence on my images as for my target audience this would be a probable look they would aspire to in later life. I think the lighting is good as the whole background is dark. This shows that she is the focus of the image and this is also what girls of my target audience would aspire to.
