Costume Props/Planning

This picture orf a female rapper will be shown as an influence within my choice of costuming as within hip hop/ R&B / rap music magazines, females are always portrayed as very attractive and wearing hardly any clothes, therefore maybe in my contents page I plan on using a female within similar clothing. 

I wish to include nice, exotic looking scenery within my pictures also as shown in parts of this video. When I do photograph my female artist, I want the scenery to be based mostly poolside and in a warm setting.

 Within this magazine front cover the artist is portrayed in heavy, expensive looking jewellery. When I take my photos for my magazine, I intend on my main artist having accessories such as rings, bracelets and earrings to add to the anticipated look of a hip hop/ R&B/ rap magazine.

In this music magazine front cover, it shows a rap artist who is well established and he features in a suit. A lot of music magazines do show the more sophisticated side to artists by often placing the males in suits, this is something that will be reflected within my music magazine as I will show my artist in a suit at some point in the magazine.
