Image Analysis: Jessie J

In order to gain inspiration for my own Artist featuring in my music magazine I have analysed female artists who are part of the pop genre and their image, i.e the style of their hair make up clothes etc.

In this image of Jessie J she is against a grey gradient background making her the main focus in the image. She is wearing a black printed t-shirt with ‘Deep Purple’ a band formed in 1967 they are a English heavy metal band, this suggests Jessie’s own music tastes, it also reflects her own music when ‘Deep Purple’ first formed they were pioneers of the heavy metal genre, similarly Jessie J is a pioneer in music as a U.K female artist.  Her outfit has a retro rock star twist as she is wearing high-waisted skinny jeans and a leather jacket, reflecting the 70’s fashion. Her outfit has a modern twist as she is wearing Disney Minnie’s mouse ears, reflecting her childish fun side of her personality. She is also wearing hoop earrings, a urban fashion reflecting her background as she grew up in Redbridge, London. Her make-up is loud and pink, reflecting her feminity and loud bubbly personality. Her hair is styled in her trademark look of a straight Jet black bob, making instantly recognisable as Jessie J. She is smiling/laughing at the camera, showing she likes to have fun, her hands are placed on her waist drawing attention to her ‘Deep Purple’ t-shirt. The lighting is bright and focused on Jessie J as she is the main object in the frame, she has been positioned so she is central and takes up all the frame.
