I have chosen to compare my artist Chloe Norman, to Indie music artist Florence Welch. Not only do they share the same music genre they also share similarities in appearance. Florence's iconic feature is her red hair and Chloe shares this, I will be talking about the factor in the second picture (below). Moving on, the reason I have chosen this particular image of Chloe and this image of Florence is because of the leather trousers. I was glad when I found this picture of Florence wearing the leather trousers as I can relate my artist to her now; the trousers make the perfect 'Indie' look. However, when looking at the picture of Florence it is very minimalistic, whereas Chloe is wearing a scarf and a cardigan. Maybe I should of kept the outfit simple by just having the leather trousers and white top. Also, both Chloe and Florence are smiling in the photographs, some 'Indie' artists prefer to not do this and have a 'morose' sort of look but Florence does not. Although I have included an image of Chloe in my magazine not smiling I am glad that the front cover image (shown above) is of her smiling as I think it brings in a happier and more welcoming vibe towards the magazine.
Florence and Chloe have a blatant similarity, their red hair! This is one of the reasons I chose Chloe to be my model for my Indie music magazine because my 'Indie' girls like Florence, for example, have red hair. They also have similar colourings such as eye colour. However, this would of course not matter as much as hair colour. Make-up used for the photo shoot included: minimal skin make-up but I made sure any blemishes or spot Chloe had were covered up, and black eye make-up (mascara and eyeliner). After looking at this photo of Florence and comparing it to Chloe, make-up wise, I think that I could of used red lipstick as researching images of Florence Welch I saw that she did wear lipstick in many of the pictures. Although Florence does not have as much eye make-up as Chloe has, it is still the same colour. What's more, in other images of Florence she does have heavy black eye make-up on just like Chloe's in the photograph above. So, overall I think I did well on the make-up front; however I could of included lipstick (preferably red).
In this third photograph of Indie star Florence Welch I will comparing the similarities and differences between her outfit, and Chloe's. Firstly, I chose this dress for Chloe to wear as sheer shirts are in fashion at the moment, especially with the 'Indie' scene. The first photo that I looked at with Florence in the black leather trousers, she is wearing a sheer shirt with them. Colour of the garments is the same which I am pleased to see and they both contain sheer fabric, although Florence is not wearing a shirt dress I have stated above about her wear a shirt in a revious photograph. The length of the dress is short, the same length as the dress Chloe is wearing. However, after researching and finding images of Florence Welch, she does also tend to wear longer, maxi dresses; perhaps I should of chosen an outfit for Chloe that contained an long, maxi dress. Finally, another differance is the shoe: Florence is wearing heels and Chloe is wearing Doc Martin boots. I could not find any images of Florence wearing Doc Martins so I have came to the conclusion that she does not own any. Could of making Chloe wear Doc Martins of been a bad decison as Florence wear heels predomidently? I do not regret this decison as Doc Martins are an indie 'must have'. So, it would be easier to get the 'Indie' image across to readers of 'IND'.
This is the last photograph I am going to compare. I have chosen this image of Florence Welch because she is wearing a very similar outfit to the one my model Chloe is wearing. The leather jackets they are both wearing is practically the same colour, this is good thing as I can see that 'Indie' artists are wearing clothes similar to my made up 'Indie' artist. Also, the colouring in the dresses they are both wearing is similar too, which again is another good thing! If you look at the image of Florence however, she is holding a red lip shaped bag/purse. Maybe I could of included a prop like a small bag when photographing Chloe. Lastly, I think I could of experimented with Chloe's hair more as in pictures that I have researched of Florence Welch she has straight hair in some (like Chloe's) but in others, like this photograph, she has wavy or curly hair. After looking back on my photo shoot I think I should of experimented more with different styles of hair and make-up. However, I am relatively pleased with my outfit choices.
