This document discusses photos taken of models for an R&B/hip hop magazine spread. The author positions one model for a double page spread but decides his pose lacks masculinity. They feel the first photo of the model sitting down best presents appealing masculinity through his jawline and posture. Later photos are rejected for not representing R&B/hip hop style due to one model's fur hood and top. Another selected photo is felt to work well for the double page spread by implying something being uncovered. Most photos of some models are rejected for clothing choices not stereotypically presenting R&B genre. One group of photos is deemed suitable for a contents page due to the edgy contrasting stances of two models.

I positioned my model like this with the intention of using him for my double page spread, which is why there's a considerable
amount of space to the right of him. I thought using a mid shot would help the audeince focus more on him and I decided that only
half of his face needed to be shown because it would create mystery for my target audience. However I didn't use any of these
shots because in the end I didn't think his pose presented him as masculine enough. Masculinity is a key characteristic the models
of RNB and Hip Hop magazines need to enough.
I think that the first image would look good on the bottom of my contents page because he's sitting down. The hurraches and strong
jawline present him as appealing to my target audience as well. All of the previous images lack this quality which is why they're not
suitable for my magazine.

I think the selected image would be perfect for my double page spread. The position of the model implicates something being uncovered which is usually wha
a double page does- uncovers some sort of truth about an artist. Also the smile would give the dps a personal vibe.
Most of the images of Blaine, Faz and James are ruined by Blaine's clothing choice. I don't think the fur hood and rihanna top represents the style of RNB
or Hip Hop, which is the genre I want my magazine to be.
Blaine's clothing and facial expressions don't stereotypically present the genre of RNB in any of his shots so they wouldn't be suitable.

The selected image would be a good image to use for a contents page. The
contrasting stances of the two models is quite edgy.
James doesn't look prepared for the shoot in these four images above so they wouldn't be suitable to use in my magazine as it doesn't look
professional
