8. Main Photoshoot
Selection of shots from my photoshoot
• I’ve chosen to use a variety of long shots. This is because the impression of the artist I want to give is a
‘authoritative’ and ‘independent’ female which is done through the positioning of the model.
• I also took a variety of medium shots. These did not have the same effect and I felt that it represented the
female artist as an object rather than an inspiring idol.
