These images are a compilation of shots that I took which are most likely going to be part of my magazine. This was the result of my photoshoot. I did not know that the camera had a low battery, this resulted in some more abstract shots as the photo took so long to process each shot. In low light, there was a noticeable blurred effect and I knew instantly that i wanted to include some of these images in my pages. On reflection, i should have tried to get the model out of his comfort zone to get more varied positions and expressions.

Planning for shoot

These are the positions my model will be in for the photo-shoot. I chose these positions as they all imply the person is going through a state of depression or constant dissatisfaction. Melancholy is often portrayed through many PBRnB artist's lyrics and there are many people who feel better when they listen to the music because they can sympathise and come to know they are not the only ones going through hard times.

None of the images will contain direct address. I want to keep the artist's mystery consistent and a way of doing this is by creating distance from the audience. Small details mean everything and I want to keep the audience questioning and interacting with sources that include some sort of  symbolic value. There are music videos that have been analysed completely to convey some sort of understanding of the story behind the visuals, and everyone has a right to their interpretation.
