Photoshoot ideas

For my magazine I have decided to go with the Indie rock look and design. This esentially means that artist that are featured in the magazine had to be associate with the magazine and its image.
How coan this be done?

This can be done through:
  • Wearing spacific types of makeup
  • Wearing differrnt types of clothes
  • Props
  • the Mise en scene (surrounding area)
  • The colour editing of the image
  • Hair styles ect...
Examples of this image can be found by looking at the artist of florence and the machine.

From looking at this image we can see that she is probably and Indie artist. How can we see this? The photo itself is taken from a high angle so we are able to see that she has wild hair and a vintage dress on. Her make up is also very vibrant. We associate these things with the indie culture, if we were to be loking at a picture of a well groomed solo soul singer we would probably see tham with very nicely groomed hair and a modern looking dress. They would never be pictured like this, in what lookes like to be a very wild scene. She woud be featured in magazines such as Q

Another artist with the same sort of style is Marina and the Diomands, in this puicture we can see that the artist has the same scruffy hair and aukward pose. In the Mise en scene we can see that she is laying on some very vintage pillows.
In the smaller image below we can see she wears more colourful cloths and her make up is yet again very flamboyant.  
How are the pictures taken?
The pictures are taken in close up to medium shots. The camera shot itself seemes to edited as if an old camera has taken the picture, making the atrtist look unique and interesti, and very Indie.
