I chose to have my photo-shoot during school in an available class room. As planned I managed to get hold of rolls of paper to stick on the wall to create a background

Shooting

Potential poses.

These are some of my personal favourite poses, all of which captured by the photographer Terry Richardson. I hope to recreate these poses to experiment with for my own cover. 

Preparation

Preparation

There are a few things I will need to decide on and plan before taking photos for my cover image, such as:

• who I choose for my model
• where the photo-shoot will take place
• what the model will wear
• type of poses the model will perform

I think it's key to choose the right model, especially seeing as the model will be the main focus on the magazine cover. My magazine genre being hip hop, I think its important to find a model that could easily persuade the audience that they genuinely are a hip hop artist. For example a female model dressed in very formal clothes and only politely smiling will not give this persona.

It's also extremely important to find somewhere suitable to have the photo-shoot. I hope to use a plain white background, I plan creating this by using rolls of paper stuck against a wall, then any marks or lines visible I hope to edit out. I plan to do this in an available class room during school.

Background

Background

Many of the magazines that have a similar style that I am trying to capture often have plain backgrounds. For example these vibe and notion magazines have a plain white background, giving the effect that there is no background at all.



 This style is a personal favourite of mine as I think it gives the magazine a very classy and high standard look. Not only does it come across extremely effective but it is very easy to achieve. I hope to interpret this into my own cover.
