I wanted to capture a photograph similar to how Lana Del Rey poses and portray herself on magazines.
This idea was inspired by how Lana Del Rey presents herself as a modern indie pop artist.
Since my magazine contain a serious slogan “I had troubles growing up…” I wanted my photograph to match what my slogan says.
I wanted to capture a medium shot (inspired by Lana) that demonstrates serious and strong emotion. The reason behind it is because the my magazine’s main issue is serious and mature.
Similarities:•Both have their hands on their mouth/face. The effect it creates is to boost the photograph’s emotion. Therefore, it is not just a plain mid shot.•Appearance: Both are classy in terms of appearance (no flashy clothes) simple yet elegant.
Over all, I think that it fits my magazine’s style because my magazine’s layout is simple yet punky. The photograph I have chosen also fits my serious and strong slogan “I had troubles growing up… I’m ready to face them as an artist.” due to my photograph’s mise-en-sene (facial expression).
In addition, my photograph fits my magazine’s style because the colours matches my photograph’s appearance (orange hair, pink lipstick, neutral make-up and dark clothing). It allows my magazine to look professional and conventional (indie) in general.
