Inspirations
We liked the look of bare shoulders as we thought this connoted simplicity and a sort of 'stripped bare' look to our audience. However we were in no way looking to sexualize our band too heavily as we believe that our particular target audience (teenage girls primarily) would not appreciate this. Here are some examples of album covers that have done this:
However we wanted to take this to the next level by covering ourselves in glitter. This would add relevance to the album cover as our band name is 'All That Glitters'. This was inspired by Miley Cyrus' new music video:
The Shoot
We took individual shots of each other with the intent of using Photoshop to combine them together. We managed our time efficiently, with two people helping one get ready. Then we would shoot that person. We did the shoot against a black background as we thought the glitter would appear more striking. Emily had the most glitter because she is the main girl in the group. Here are some of the shots we got:
As you can see with the shots of Olivia we also experimented with over positionings other than straight on, which was our original plan.
Overall we believe the shoot was a success. We were thinking that we may have to re-shoot Emily's shots as we went very overboard on the glitter and could have applied it more carefully. However, this was actually rectified in Photoshop, as more glitter was applied.
