Here are some examples of photographs taken of Rhianwen whilst trying to create a star image for 'Ella'. We wanted to keep 'Ellas' look simple, representing her in a way that would allow people to see her personality as an individual, and thereby connect with her on a more personal level, rather then her being a remote glamorised persona created by the record company. Examples of such artists include Ellie Goulding who has regular protestations of ordinariness in interviews stating "I'm quite normal."
We wanted to keep the photographs simple with the artist in the foreground, and a background that would not take away from the artist, but that simply emphasized her natural look. To achieve this we used both rural and urban locations which correspond with locations we plan to use in our video.
As discussed above our natural styling for Ella can be compared to the the image of Ellie Goulding. She has recently released a music video, a cover of Elton John's 'Your song' . Her music video for this song, appears somewhat like a home video, and emphasizes her representation as a 'normal person'.
