Final Photograph for Album Cover

I changed my mind in using the other album cover as the draft, because I decided that it didn't look realistic, so last night me and Blossom organised a small scale photo shoot to test out for my album cover. After taking and testing with some photos, I decided that this photo would be the best to use as it looks very suitable to my rock pop genre. The mise-en-scene was in Blossom back garden, and I chose for it to be here as she has a old bath there, and I took advantage of this. The plants around the bottom of the photo add to the tatty and old looking location, which is similar to the location that I took from Google images for my first ever draft album cover which I took a liking to. In relation to her costume, I chose for Blossom to wear just a shirt because I thought that the style looked very grungy and rock looking, which suits my genre. Her hair looks very natural, but it is also quite scruffy which is what I was aiming it to be like. I decided for Blossom to have bare legs because it again it adds to the grunge and rock scene, but I think that it will make her appeal more to the male audience, in relation to Laura Mulvey's male gaze, and how men see women as objects. Also, I think that it makes her look quite innocent. This is because she is quite pale skinned, and the paleness of her skin connotes her being innocent and fresh, relating to her being 'fresh' in the music industry.
