Female pop artists

 

These photos of established music artist are both inspiration for my artist 'Rosa Deane' but also for my photo-shoot, which I will then go on to use the photos throughout my magazine. The female pop icons include Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Cher Lloyd and Lady Gaga.
The conventions of pop photo-shoot consist of perfect hair and makeup rather than the grudge look with messy hair which may be associated with rock/indie music. Stylish, modern clothing including the latest trends so that they appeal to their target audience. These shots are all making direct eye contact with the reader to entice them into reading into their story whether it was in a magazine, or listening to their song on an advert. Plain background or faded is common so the focus is on the star themselves.
