I recently had my photo shoot for my front cover. On the day the styling of the hair, make up and costume went according to plan and so did the lighting and background. However on the day my idea of holding the guitar aloft in the air like a revolutionary fist didn't work for the simple reason that i could not hold the guitar as it was too heavy. After trying for quite a while and not getting any nearer to the desired shot I changed my concept of the shoot.
Instead of the image referencing the revolutionary atmosphere of my magazine my image now references the credibility of the artist where they are bound to the music and not the fame or celebrity culture of the mainstream music industry. It is also more artistic than my first idea which is what my target audience wants as I learnt from my questionnaire. In my front cover images the model is now holding a microphone and the wire is wrapped round her hands and arms which connotes that she is bound to the music and is a musician.
I'm pleased with how my shots turned out even though my concept changed drastically as I feel it changed for the better.
