Props, models, locations and choices


For my photo-shoot I decided to use my friend Chris and made him so he looked cool, neat and tidy, one that could come across as looking like someone who would party a lot. I think this really connoted the bad boy kind of attitude well throughout. I didn't really use any props, I just used the clothes he was wearing, but told him to dress good the day before. The picture for my front cover is a medium-shot but I had made it bigger to cover most of the page and to make it look dominant so that didn’t give me much room to include props in, and I don't feel that they were necessary during this photo-shoot anyways and for my magazine because of the audience I am trying to appeal to (but if I had a DJ stand for him to stand next to then I would have used one), and because of the expression and the pose of him, it's almost quite clear already what kind of person he is so I didn't believe using any props would be necessary to support the photo. The location in which I took my photo wasn't exactly thought about as I knew I wanted to focus on editing out the background anyway so it didn't really matter where the image was taken as long as it wasn't too sunny or too dark, so all I did was go into an empty room with a black background and took some photos until I was happy with the results. I think all my pictures together really give off that attitude and feeling to show that young people love to party and go out. Also my main cover picture gives him a reputation that is needed for a boy around this age with a career in being a DJ, so that is why I chose them.
