2. Clothing is a big part of my photo-shoot, it strongly reinforces the
genre of my magazine and the type of person my model is and tells
the audience that this magazine is aimed a niche audience. Because
my music magazine is aimed at the indie/rock genre is highly
important that my model is wearing the correct clothing that
represent this genre the best such as; dark clothing, funky, and
unique items that stand out within a crowd. My model is wearing
tartan dark red and black coat with a fur trimming. A back jumpsuit
and heeled black leather chunky boots. I decided this would a good
final outfit because tartan and dark colours are always related to
rock music. I had another outfit planned but in the end I only used
one. This would have been my model wearing back skinny jeans,
converse and a checked shirt. This would have also been a perfect
outfit for my style magazine as it’s a scruffy rock chick look. Wearing
mainly dark colours. Converse shoes are popular for ‘indie kids’ and
a lot of rock artists wear them there selves.

3. I didn’t intend of using any props but I ended up using a
shopping trolley that I found in a derelict building in Camden.
I thought it would be a different type of prop to use that
couldn’t emphasise the model/artists personality throughout
the image. She was wild, young, bubbly and confident and
this needed to be shown. I felted like it wasn’t needed to
have props such as a guitar/microphone included in my
photo-shoot because my target audience will be intelligent
and already know that this is a music magazine due to the sell
lines and layout of the magazine. I only needed one prop; my
images where so bold and powerful with the bright
background and patterned clothing it would have been to
much going on if I had loads of props. I decided to accessorise
Charlottes outfit and have a detailed funky background
instead.

4. Accessories are a very important feature to my photo shoot
they help me display how my model/artist expresses herself
and what genre of magazine this is. I decided to go with chunky,
bold and oversized necklaces because it represents rock music
well. Rock is loud bold and stand outs from the other genres. I
want my model to stand out from the crowd just like how rock
would at a festival. I went with the gold necklace in the end
with the giant blue stone in the middle. I thought this was a
good decision because it was something a little different and
strange I liked the contrast of the silver, gold and blue together
it also gave the feeling of wealth as it has a few diamonds and
could be very expensive. I was going to get my model to wear a
black beanie; a lot of people in the indie genre often wear
beanies however in the end I came to the decision that
Charlotte looked better with the beanie and that it would’ve
looked better on a male model.
