The article talked about how Ariana Grande won two trophies and was named the best female artist. She also took the 'Best-Single' prize for "Problem" one of the hits she's had this year. The article also mentioned how Nicki Minaj was the host for the show at Glasgow's SSE Hydro arena. It was also mentioned that she took home the prize for best hip-hop artist. They had to keep Nicki Minaj's provocative side under tight control. There were performances from Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, Enrique Iglesias and U2. Winners of the awards were selected by fans across the continent. The EMA's are held in a different European city each year. The boy band One Direction won three awards, including best pop act. Katy Perry and Australian punk band 5 Seconds of Summer each won two awards.

What do you like about the photos? the article?
I liked how the photographs captured the celebrities accepting their awards and when they were performing. I liked how the article talked about what happened at the Music Awards, who attended, and who performed. 

Photojournalism Project Proposal

My idea for the project was inspired by the Cumberland Valley Color Guard. When I was in 6th grade I joined and then quit after 9th grade to focus on school work. I think it would be fun to shoot pictures of their show.

Final Expression Panel:

I tried to showcase Gabi's personality through these photographs. She's a very loud and outgoing person, and can be serious when she needs to be. Gabi loves photography and loves capturing the moment. During the time I spent shooting pictures with her I tried to incorporate her personality through her body language and facial expressions. I enjoyed doing this project because it was fun going to different places and posing her. I had a great time working with her. People said that they liked how I incorporated a circle photo and mixed it up to create variety in the layout. Others liked how I edited my photos and how the background complemented my photos. If someone were to do this project I would suggest to them that they plan where they want to take their client to take pictures and what colors would go good with the scenery for the models' outfit. I would also suggest to them to take their time and find the best poses and shots that really make the model look good. The most challenging part of the project for me was posing the model because I felt weird telling her what to do. However, after awhile I go used to it and was more comfortable with it.
