Album Cover Photos

We did a photoshoot for our album cover. Our aim for the photoshoot was to get photos that represent Georgia as being innocent yet edgy as this will relate to her being the 'girl next door'. For this purpose, we dressed her in normal day to day clothes as this fits in with our urban theme. We then used red lipstick in some of the photos to connote power and give her that edgy look that is needed for fans to pick up her album. We used inspiration from Jessie J, Ellie Goulding and Madonna. Firstly we started doing portrait photos as this is generic in most album covers. We then did some shots where Georgia was straddled on a chair which gives her an edgy look to her. We then did some shots of her at a table using her hands to create an interesting composition. Lastly we took shots of her outside against a brick wall which also gave it a more urban feel to the picture.

Lykke Li is a swedish indie pop singer is an inspiration to me for creating the album cover because her albums are in black and white. They aren't too busy and over the top instead very simplistic and to the point which i like. I like how her face peeps out the side of the first album cover below because this creates her being edgy and a bit mysterious which i can explore by positioning Georgia in various places. I also like the album cover as she does the silhouette layers that i have experimented with and i really like her album cover, however mine didn't look as good as she has one face in focus and the other two not which still shows her star quality and attracts her audience.
