Planning For Photographs

When planning to take the photographs for my music magazine, I had to keep in mind the genre of my magazine, which was hip-hop, and ensure that the locations and props used helped reinforce the idea that my magazine belonged to this genre. The locations I used were the skate-park in mile end, which had several graffiti walls. This was perfect as it highlighted the genre of hip-hop as it is in such places that legitimate hip-hop photo-shoots and music videos are shot. Additionally, I had some photos taken outside Canary Wharf, due to the location looking quite spectacular at the time of shooting and also, the pond by mile-end. The significant props were all based on clothing, with some of my artists wearing snapbacks, turtleneck jumpers and other pieces of clothing which help indicate that they belong to the genre of hip-hop. The media equipment I used were a digital camera and camera stand.
