Blog Post #37: Why Are Accessories the Best Sidekick?

-

 Hey there!

In today's blog, I'll be explaining why accessories are a great addition to an outfit & how it contributes to a photograph. Jewelry such as chains or earrings are often used but, I hope to shed light upon other essential accessories.



 Sunglasses 








Sunglasses are one of the top considered accessories & this is because it creates a bold statement. When used for a photograph, sunglasses are there to set the tone/mood for the outfit; which is why it's often implemented & is very effective during a photoshoot.


How to pose with sunglasses:
  • Touch the sides of the frame ( either one hand or both.)
  • Positioned on top of head.
  • Lowered onto the bridge of the nose.
  • Shoot glasses away from face.


 Handbags 







Another accessory that is oftentimes applied to a photograph is...handbags! Handbags are useful because they're a great distraction if someone isn't comfortable with posing. It helps you to get into the swing of things & you'll begin to feel confident. Whether it's a tote bag or shoulder bag, these are a great addition because there are many poses that you can do! 


Handbag poses include: 
  • Crook in elbow.
  • In front of body.
  • Thrown over shoulder.
  • Low hanging position.
  • Strap held with fingertips.

There are other accessories that can be considered useful for a photograph. Once you figure out how it fits into your outfit, then everything will start to come together.


Thank you & see you in the next blog!

Evaluation CCR1 video link: https://youtu.be/Pi_skDjaP0s Hello, my name is Felixia Francis. Today I will be answering compulsory question one. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.  Compulsory question 1 asks 'How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issue?' My magazine follows the basic conventional Rules and Guidelines of a standard magazine, amongst other things it includes a masthead, a tagline, a coverline, a cover image, a barcode, an issue number and date. In order to gain inspiration for my magazine, I followed the example of various fashion magazines that inspired me such as Vogue, Teen Vogue & Essence.       For the cover page conventions, the first thing you notice is the masthead, the masthead is the title of the magazine & it is also in the biggest font with the sole purpose of standing out. My Masthead is Girly Co. which is not only in the biggest font of the entire magazine, but i
