music magazine photo shoot evaluation

I had decided on using Pink and Purple balloons as the prop for my photo shoot. I feel the shots that were taken were good ran smoothly and linked well to the genre of magazine i'm wanting to create, which is a pop as well as a mix of indie. However I feel that in order to get the right effect for the photos, was to take into thought about the use of costume and what would fit best, as the background fits the pop genre well.Though the type of clothing the model is shown wearing in the picture, would be classed as fitting with indie instead of pop.

Picture 1

I took the shot with the model and with the set background that will be used with my inside article of my music magazine. I believe that the lighting is used well in the shot and not over used to make a glare. I believe that in order for this to be a pop magazine, the costume should have been given more thought. Another note is that even though the background fits pop, the costume is more fitted to indie. The shot of the model is a medium close up and at eye level with the model.

Pictures 2 and 3

They are both shots of the background. I have taken them to show how the background would be set, before placing the model in the shot that has been set up for the music magazine. They are both set similar yet different layout of the balloons.

Pictures 4,5,6 and 7

These are shots of the prop that was used in the photo-shoot. This is so that I can see how the balloons would be in the lighting that was set. Another reason is that I can cut these images of the balloons out easily if needed to, so that if i wanted to use the balloons for my cover, I can place some on my music magazine.
