Location, prop and costume report


Location:
When deciding how I wanted my photo to look and the environment of the photo, I decided that I didn't really want a location. I came to this conclusion by looking at what my magazine was about - giving new musicians and fair start and a fair look and I didn't want people to dismiss a band based on the location behind them. It also help keep the focus on the musician and not give the musician a unfair review.

Prop:
I decided to have minimal props, and only have the guitar. I have done this because I wanted to hint at the instrument so the reader has a small amount of an idea, but no idea of how the instrument will be used and the genre the musician is in.

Costume:
I decided to have some generic teen clothing (just a top and track suit trousers) to help the musician be on fair footing when the reader starts to learn about them. It also hints at the age of the musician and could attract the younger side of my target audience as they seem more relate-able.
