Photoshoot

T

The pictures i took for my rap magazine were intended to look 'hard' and 'tough' and i think i have achieved this. I took pictures with my imaginary rapper 'Gabz'. I wanted to portray him as a reserved rigid person. Thats my reason for not doing a typical photoshoot. I took my photos in his home as he getting ready to go out. He is a hard person to get a hold of and doesn't like being told what to do so he only wore one outfit for the shoot at his home. To portray his hard look i took photos of him working in the gym.

I posted my main cover image on instagram to see how many people liked it for the idea i had. 272 liked it and this was approval that this was a great idea for my front cover image. I only took one photo of my artist because he stated that he was too 'buff' a slang term for good looking and that i would only need one photo. He said i would be wasting time taking more. His over confidence was accurate and my first photo looked successful and got successful feedback. For my double contents page spread he was more exposed and did not say a nything while i took more than one photo.

For my front cover i made him wear a jacter over a hoodie because this has been a popular trend during winter and a lot of people think it looks good. i made him wear a hat which added to his star image being cool and in fashion.
