Pharrell Williams

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a chilled back issue or a stylish issue as the hat that Pharrell Williams is wearing. The lighting also darkens his face which I don’t really like about the photo.

The photo shows Pharrell Williams body language as having something to hide as he is not directly looking at the camera like he's hiding something.

The shot is a very up- close and personal shot this is showing an invasion of personal space I would much prefer a whole body shot and have Pharrell holding a prop of some sort.

The dress code for the photo shoot shows the ways in which the artist works by the looks of this photo the artist is stylish or even a chilled out magazine or just this issue

The photo for myself doesn’t have any form of empowerment or exploitation. I presume to an ethnicity of dark skinned people it may be empowering as it shows them the photographer doesn’t support racial acts

Justin Timberlake

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a chilled and laid back, as well as stylish as the hat that Justin Timberlake is wearing. The lighting also darkens his face which I don’t really like about the photo. As it connotes that there is a dark side to his life.

The photo shows Justin Timberlake's body language as being focused. This is shown from the way he is directly staring into the camera. This shows he is focused.

The shot is a medium close up shot this is showing the ways in which Justin Timberlake is mentally focused on the camera. I think to make this photo have more meaning I would give Justin Timberlake a prop of some sort.

The dress code for the photo shoot shows the ways in which the artist works by the looks of this photo the artist Justin Timberlake is stylish or even a chilled out artist, but when he needs to be very serious

Michael Jackson

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a serious artist as the facial expressions that Michael Jackson has is one that looks serious like he is focused on the camera or his work.

The photo connotes Michael Jackson as being royal. This is shown by the glove on his right hand gives this effect. Being loyal are linked to kings or queens so the glove can show Michael as being the king of pop.

The shot is a medium close up shot this is showing the torso and facial expressions of Michael Jackson. The shot also shows the glove which is a connotation which I like about the photo.

The dress code for the photo shoot shows the ways in which the artist works by the looks of this photo shoot the artist Michael Jackson is heavy jewelled this shows that he is in royalty within his industry

Sir Tom Jones

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a fun loving older generation artist as the facial expressions that Sir Tom Jones has is one that looks serious like he is focused on the camera or his work. The photo connotes the wealth of Sir Tom Jones as the ring and the gold bracelet that Sir Tom Jones is wearing on his right arm gives this effect. This shows how successful he is.

The dress code of Sir Tom Jones is smart but casual as he is wearing a blazer or suit jacket over a t-shirt this shows that he is trying to be appealing and level with his audience he doesn’t want to be better than them.

The shot is a medium shot this is showing the torso and facial expressions of Sir Tom Jones. The shot also shows the microphone which is a connotation showing that he enjoys his job as a solo singer. I like this about the photo.

The photo for myself doesn’t have any form of empowerment or exploitation. I presume to a generation of older people it may be empowering as it shows them that Sir Tom Jones is still working for his living.

Kanye West

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a hard working, serious artist as the facial expressions that Kanye West has is one that looks serious like he is focused on the camera and his work.

The photo for myself doesn’t have any form of empowerment or exploitation. I presume to an ethnicity of dark skinned people it may be empowering as it shows them the photographer and the magazine doesn’t support racial acts

The dress code of Kanye West is casual as he is wearing a jumper and leather trousers this shows that he is trying to look laid back but the photo gives the artist a more inspiring look. The photo connotes

the sexuality of Kanye West as the leather trousers that Kanye West is wearing gives this effect. I have found this out after research into the subject.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather_subculture

Calvin Harris

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a serious artist as the facial expressions that Calvin Harris has is one that looks serious like he is focused on the camera or his work.

The photo connotes the age of Calvin Harris as the beard that Calvin Harris is growing gives the effect of being older than he looks.

The shot is a very up- close and personal shot this is showing an invasion of personal space I would much prefer a whole body shot.

The photo its self seems to have been taken at an awards event showing that the artist Calvin Harris has won an award or been nominated for one so the background has significance to the artist.

Usher

The photo for myself doesn’t have any form of empowerment or exploitation. I presume to an ethnicity of dark skinned people it may be empowering as it shows them the photographer doesn’t support racial acts

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a serious artist as well as casual as the facial expressions that Usher has is one that looks serious like he is focused on the camera or his work. But the clothing he is wearing shows that he is casual.

The photo connotes the age of Usher as the beard that Usher is growing gives the effect of being older than he looks. The photo also connotes the wealth of Usher as he is wearing a large golden chain around his neck. This suggests that he earns good money.

The shot is a medium shot this is showing the torso and facial expressions of Usher. The shot was taken as a landscape I like this about the photo.

Bruno Mars

The shot is a medium shot this is showing the torso and facial expressions of Bruno Mars. The shot would be much better if the artist Bruno Mars had a prop of some sort like a microphone.

The photo for myself doesn’t have any form of empowerment or exploitation. I presume to an ethnicity of dark skinned people it may be empowering as it shows them the photographer doesn’t support racial acts

The mise en scene of the photo means that the artist can be interpreted as a serious artist as well as casual as the facial expressions that Bruno Mars has is one that looks casual he is smirking which suggests that he is enjoying himself and his career. But the clothing he is wearing shows that he is serious as blazers and shirts shows that he is a smartly dressed artist.
