Photo Shoot for Album Cover

We used a Fujifilm care to shoot the photos. We decided on using multiple locations to ensure getting a wide variety of shots that we could use and edit to test out which setting worked best.

We decided to use outside locations instead of just shooting headshot, which when we shot them, we thought they would be boring for the album cover.

We found an outside setting which had an urban look to it when looking the lens of the camera. We thought that this fits with the conventions of the other album covers that we looked at in our research. This added a sort of dynes to our artist, as if the audience only had an idea of what she was like through her music video and if it were to be just headshot for the album cover, the image of our artist would be quite boring and unrelatable.

We also found some outside locations which had a natural look to them which we thought would show a good contrast between the urban look. In our research into similar artists we found that the conventions which most of the artists used was a combination of aspects of nature juxtaposed to an urban setting which created an effect of nature within their music to a contrasting aspect to an edgy twist to their music of technological sound.
