I did tester shots as i thought this would be an effective way, to be prepared for the final photoshoot and i can also access how want my artist to pose 

I found that the shadows wouldn't portray a professional look. I also found that the lighting wasn't effective as she had an orange tone that i didn't want  

This is why I wanted a tester shot as this photo is clearly over exposed. I wouldn't be able to use this photo in my album cover or advert 

I found that close ups were more effective and suits my conventions of my genre. similar artist such as Ellie Golding uses a wide range of close up of head shots and the midi shots 

I would like my artists to same front facing poses, so i can capture her face, so when I then edit it and put it into album cover and advert my target audience can connect to my artist
