photo shoot for double page spread/research on photographers









Location: London, UK
christie Goodwin
Christie Goodwin has been a photographer in  music since 1976, hence  the size and quality of her astonishing  portfolio. Her work is influenced  by her background  in fashion and editorial photography, this simply suggests why her works appear so fine and professional.She photographs artist the likes of   Taylor Swift, Usher, and Katy Perry, among others, in their comfortable spaces i.e on stage.
This photographer is very inspirational to be as her fashion roots makes her ensure that her works presents the artist in their conventional clothings, whilst making sure that she captures their most natural and effortless pose.She always ensures that the artist is presented as important and interesting to the audience as she focuses on completely  focuses on them and ensures that there is nothing destructing in the background which will sway the audience attraction from the main image/artist.
Here is an example of her work.
 Miller Mobley
Miller Mobley who  is a portrait and advertising photographer takes stunning images of celebrities, newsmakers, athletes, and musicians. Eventhough he is  still in his 20s, he has photographed a lot  of the well-known names in show business, from Meryl Streep to Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore, Taylor Swift, and Channing Tatum.I will take inspirations from his work as his works are very vreative and he ensures that he uses space around the model to complement their chosen pose.He also ensures that the artist has a direct mode of address in to create the effect of  having direct contact with the artist, on the audience.
Here is an example of  his works/photography.

Here is my photoshoot.






Above are a range of photos of the model posing for an inspirational photo idea for a potential double page spread, main image. These photos were taken because I wanted to practise my photography skills in preparation for the double page spread. The photographers I researched about also helped me with my photography as I learned the importance of the presence of a good lighting and a good use of props to indicate that the model is a musician.
