Locations, props and models

Location: I decided that I wanted my photo shoots to located in a studio environment, which included a white sheet in the background to connote professionalism and is also conventional in the industry. A blank canvas used as the background keeps the focus on the model. Props: The props I used in my photograph were a red cloak, which fitted in with my colour scheme and is seen as conventional when relating to poses and clothes used in the industry. Also I used a guitar which is seen as in the corner of the band picture featured on my contents page, which is a central instrument used in the music industry, therefore portrays my magazine as musical and represents the band in the photograph as being rock/indie genre based. Models: The style and gender of the models used in my products are diverse, this represents the diversity of British music genres in my magazine, portrays my magazine does not follow the same genre throughout the magazine.
