Annotation and plan of website 

I had selected my best shot; regarding the lighting, compostion and framing of the images that visually look the best, yet portray my ideas and themes perfectly.
Introducing these talented women of colour as I had though of the idea building this segment to showcase their creative achievements which is something that doesn't get praised as much for women of ethnic minority in the media.
So by having text and interviews to back this up; overall makes the content stronger and gives the viewers a sense of 'truth and self-accomplishment', two main aspects of my magazine Tropix.
Locations:

• Dalston
• Shepherd's Bush
• Green space in Walthamstow 

The reason why I had chose to shoot Alfia-Jade in Dalston market was due to the fact that it's one of the most ethnically diverse markets I've ever been in and being around so much culture almost made me feel like I was in another country and not in London. So the costume had also been symbolic of the mixture of cultures as she was also wearing a western crop top along with the African-printed headwrap.

Shepherd's Bush was also another ethnically diverse market I had visited in West london and knew I had to come back with a model; and the idea of using the Bindi was to represent the idea of 'Cultural Appreciation' within the different ethnic minorities and doing an interview had allowed me to explored it in-depth through her perspective.

Walthamstow has now become a very familiar area for me; especially the sites I see en route to college every morning as going down Lea bridge road I'd often see some picturesque locations such as the green space surrounded by closed in trees. Which allowed me to visualise an idea for a shoot based on a 'Nubian princess' inspired shoot which fits perfectly with my magazine as it represents ethnic beauty in a natural setting.
