I thought about how I wanted an unconventional looking magazine cover. That I wanted it similar in someways like its glamorous gloss image, yet completely different in other ways such as the model not even being aware of the fact that I am taking their picture.
Being a shy person I wasn't comfortable at first with taking strangers photos but as I began doing it it became a lot easier and the majority of the models were happy for me to take their picture.
I went out to a Shopping centre and took lots of photographs of people shopping. I didn't focus on their genders, ages or race. In fact for most of the photographs I didn't actually want their face in the frame.
This was my first photoshoot for the project and it was to plan however I wasn't that happy with the images that came from it. I think that they were too unplanned. I wanted to replicate the glamor seen on famous fashion magazines such as Elle and Vogue, but show the less glamorous side of reality when it comes to shopping, and I wasn't sure that this was coming across. I was also aware of the fact that because my photographs were very spontaneous, I lost the quality in my images.
