Ideas

 

This was an original idea for my contents page, however after looking more into it, I decided I didn't want to have one that was so simple, and wanted to design one that had a more professional feel to it, yet still included the house style colours throughout.

Props, models, locations and choices

For my photoshoot I decided to use a boy that wasn't neat and tidy, one that could come across as looking rough and tough. I think this really connoted the bad boy attitude well throughout. The didn't really use any props, just a hat which gave the model his attitude. The picture being almost a close up doesn't give me much room to include props in, and I don't feel that they were necessary during this photoshoot because of the audience I am trying to appeal to, and because of the expression and the pose of him, it's quite clear already what and who 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 that was needed was some natural lighting. I think all these together really give off that attitude and reputation that is needed for a boy around this age with a career in rap, so that is why I chose them.
