I believed that in order to really sell the idea that my magazine is about heavy metal, I needed a certain type of model, one that accurately fit into the style and role of a rocker and that represented the genre in the right way. The models I chose had long hair and were quite tall, which I felt was the best direction to go for metal as long hair is most commonly associated with rock and heavy metal. As for costumes, all of the models wore jeans and band t-shirts, which is conventional for a band in this particular genre. Their clothes were also all black which is instantly recognizable as a feature of rock and roll.
Poses and Stances
For most of the pictures the band are holding their instruments in their hands, they are either playing them or just have them rest on their shoulders. This emphasizes how heavy metal is all about the music and the message. Most of the camera angles are from a low perspective which gives the band a sense of power and dominance over the audience, it also makes them seem a bit more intimidating which is important in the heavy metal genre.
Props
For the photo shoot I used two guitars and one bass guitar, this emphasizes the music and the bands talents. The band are photographed while playing the instrument to give the reader the imagery of what they would look like live. The guitars are a variety of colours which makes each band member unique and easily distinguished.
