Taylor O’Hara, the new

teen rock sensation is certainlyno shrinking violet. Oozing moreself-confidence than you wouldexpect for someone who justburst onto the rock scene at amere seventeen years of age,she rocks into the studio over90 minutes late for herinterview. “Man, I had a roughnight” is all she offers up by wayof an explanation. Completelyunknown as an artist 6 months

ago, Taylor is the currentfavourite to sweep the BestNew Artist award at nextmonth’s MTV Awards. Hermusical style has been likenedto a young Cyndi Lauper buther attitude is all her own. Herfirst album Beats for Cheatswas released last month andhas been selling faster thanany other new artist thisdecade. Her first single ‘EatDirt’ was the number onedownload on iTunes for thefirst 4 weeks. What remains tobe seen is her staying power.

For my double page spread I chose to do an article on an upcoming rock star. I choose black, white and red as my main colours to echo a ‘rock’ feel. The star is overly confident and provocative so I have taken a photo and highlighted a quote to emphasize this.The quote is in bright red writing as it’s bold and slightly shocking to match the quote from the young star. I wanted to do the photo in the studio against a plain background so that the model really stands out. The lighting is quite soft in contrast to the harshness of the personality. The photo has a sexy feel to it and the model has exposed her cleavage.She is holding a stare at the camera to show her confidence and lack of fear or regret.
