Props and Locations

 

PROPS AND LOCATIONS

I decided to find a variety of photographs on the internet of props I would need to create a good image and possible locations which would be suitable for a Rock magazine. I created a collage of all the images put together. I included necessities for my photograph as I need to include all of these things when photographing and achieving the end product I would like.

 

 

I would like to use all of these props fully to achieve a good picture. As within lots of Rock magazines the front page background is of a dark colour to create the connotation of Rock, therefore I think it would be effective if I used a background which was black or used a brick wall. This leaves the audience curious about the location of the model. I have decided to use a female  model, as males are too stereotypical for a Rock magazine and Rock is becoming male dominant. Therefore, I would like to do her make-up in a scary way to produce the connotation of Rock again, and dress her in Rock clothing so the theme of the magazine is easily recognizable. Also, I think it would be beneficial if I used a musical instrument in the shot, but as I am focusing on make-up mainly, I think it would be difficult to strongly highlight the two aspects equally.
