MODEL  INSPIRATIONThis  presentation includes  inspiration   when  organizing  clothing,  makeup,  props  etc.  for  my  music  magazine photo-­‐‑shoot.

CLOTHING

Clothing  is  used  in  rap  music  to  really  represent  how  the  musician  wants  to  come  across.  Artists  such  as  'Nicki  Minaj'  and  'Beyonce'  sometimes  show  a  lot  of  skin.  I  think  this  is  done  to  empower  other  women  and  to  show  that  you  should  be  happy  with  your  own  body.  Other  rappers  such  as  'Tinashe'  and  'Pia  Mia'  tend  to  wear  baggy  trousers  and  crop  tops.  This  emphasizes  their  true  hip  hop  roots.  However  they  can  look  glamourous  on  red  carpet  events  and  photo-­‐‑shoots.  Some  other  artists  wear  a  lot  of  sporting  brands  such  as  ‘Nike’  and  ‘Adidas’.  This  is  a  large  part  of  urban  culture,  and  I  need  to  decide  whether  to  take  the  relaxed  or  glamourous  approach  when  picking  clothing  for  my  own  model.

MAKEUP

Makeup  is  a  very  important  aspect  of  a  photo-­‐‑shoot  and  different  rap  artists  have  different  tastes.  Therefore  I  need  to  decide  what  look  I  want  to  go  for,  for  my  own  model.  Some  hip  hop  artists  go  for  really  bold  looks,  such  as  ‘Beyonce’,  however  some  go  for  minimalistic  looks  like  ‘Tinashe’.  ‘Nicki  Minaj’  often  changes  her  makeup  look,  some  days  she  will  go  for  a  bright  red  lip  and  extravagant  eyeliner,  and  some  just  base  makeup  with  a  little  bit  of  gloss.  I  think  for  my  own  model,  I  want  her  to  be  not  too  caked,  but  want  the  makeup  to  connect  with  the  magazine  colour  theme.

HAIR  STYLE

Hairstyle  is  also  another  aspect  of  a  photo-­‐‑shoot,  and  needs  to  be  perfect  on  the  day.  Many  female  rap  artists  have  long  hair,  therefore  I  will  make  sure  my  model  has  long  hair,  if  not  I  would  have  to  find  someone  else  or  buy  extensions  to  match  with  her  own  natural  hair.

PROPS

Props  are  also  used,  however  not  so  much  in  female  hip  hop  photo-­‐‑shoots.  Photographers  tend  to  focus  on  their  beauty  rather  than  add  other  distracting  things  onto  the  image.  Therefore  I  have  decided  against  using  props  in  my  images,  some  examples  may  be  guns,  more  jewelry,  chairs,  crowns  etc.
