Costume and Prop Ideas


Above are examples of the costume and props that I want my models to wear/use. The reason for this is they act as clear signifiers of the Indie Rock genre. My models usually wear this type of clothing so it shouldn't be a problem sourcing it. If they don't have specific clothing that I like then I have a range of similar garments in my wardrobe.

The props are easy to get hold of as my front cover models are in a band and have access to them.

For my front cover I was going to re-create a pose similar to the one below;

In my shot though there would be four band members and rather than clenching fists the lead singer will be holding a microphone and the basest  will be holding a guitar. I will use similar clothing to that in the image but i will use a white backdrop rather than a black one.

On my contents page I was going to have a few images of bands and solo artists to indicate stories and features in the magazine. I'll use images similar to those below;



I will use people from my class to do these shots and create model release and call sheets for each of them.

My double Page spread is going to be a review of a new album - the same band that is featured on the contents page. The main image will cover one whole page and will be similar to the one below


Again my models have access to similar costumes. I just need to source a suitable location to take a shot like this.
