I wish to shoot in both a studio and outside. The studio will provide me with a professional background with the use of artificial lighting. As I will be adding text to where the available space is on the image, the background needs to be plain so that the text won't be so difficult to read. I would also like to shoot in the streets of Norwich by Anglian Square due to the wall of graffiti. I believe this will create an interesting background and produce plenty of colour. I'd also like to do a mini shoot on make up perhaps due to my magazine being a fashion and music magazine. This will be placed on my contents page and create further articles.
As of props I will need make up brushes/ powders/ lipsticks and other accessories that I may feel at the time would suit. Other accessories such as handbags may be included. For my cover photo, I'd like to experiment with having the models hair being blown away from her face; this could connote flawless. If I am to publish beauty such as hair and make up, I realised that a typical advertisement convention is where the models hair is blowing away. I therefore will need a fan as a substitute for the more professional technologies that are used for photos. I will need artificial lighting, ideally three lights to create a bold light on the model.
Costumes will need to be highly fashionable due to it being both a fashion and music magazine. I need to style the model in something stylish and trendy, grabbing the attention of my fashion readers. My target audience is aged 16-19 therefore I need something that will catch their attention and something suited to their age. Being within that age range, clothing items such as leather jacket/ bomber/ denim, a skort/ skirt, boots are all in fashion therefore these will work well. I may want the model to wear jewellery, nothing major but perhaps a subtle necklace or a pair of earrings.
