My understanding of what makes a good magazine cover through my research.

To prepare mnyself to take my cover photograpghs I have booked a 3 hour session in the green room with my model to take many photographs in order to give me a wide selection and ensure the best possible image. I plan to use dfifferent lighting and poses and framings to give my images variety so I can select the best suited one for my cover. Equally I have prepared many outfits that match my costume reseach to see which one works best with the existing house styles. Furthermore I have brought in a selection of props including gold chains, headphones and gold jewelry to reenforce the conventions of R&B music.
