Photo Analysis 1:

I chose this model because she is the main race of American R & B artists which is black. Therefore she fit with the R & B genre more since black artists such as Usher have produced best selling R & B songs such as U got it bad. Furthermore her hairstyle (braids) is the typically hairstyle that a lot of R & B artists have such as The Weekend.

The model is doing that pose in order to make her stand out against other R & B artists. For example most R & B artists pose while looking straight at the camera for their magazine photoshoot. Therefore those type of poses are quite common to appear on R & B magazine. However this pose is different from those typical poses since she looked away from the camera when I took the photo. Hence this will make her stand out to the reader that is reading the magazine.

The model is wearing that costume because the outfit consist of dark colours and neutral colours. This is important because R & B songs can be quite emotional therefore if the model was wearing hot bright pink it wouldn’t suit the R &B genre. Instead bright colours would easily cause the reader to misinterpret that the magazine is actually an Pop magazine instead of a R & B magazine.

The usage of the earrings and the nose stud also compliment the R & B genre since a lot of R & B artists wear bulky and bilgy accessories/jewellery when they are feature on a R & B magazine such as Vibe. For example an R & B artist such as Miguel was featured on the cover page of Vibe magazine where he wore multiple necklaces suchas a silver chain, a big gold ring and multiple bracelets.

Photo Analysis 2:

The model is doing that pose because it is normal. This fit in within the R & B genre because a lot of music artists are often seen doing normal poses in their music video. For example Drake whose is a popular R & B artist is just doing a simple/normal pose of standing up when he is going up the lift in Headlines music video.

The model is wearing that outfit because it is casual. For example a lot of early 2000s R & B artists wore casual clothes such as track suit bottoms and trainers when producing their songs. For example Aaliyah often wore track suit bottoms in her music video for her songs back in the early 2000s.

Another reason why this model is wearing this outfit is because the clothes consist of dark colours and neutral colours. This is important because R & B songs can be quite emotional therefore if the model was wearing hot bright pink it wouldn’t suit the R &B genre.

I chose this model because she has black hair that will compliment the outfit very well. For example her black hair compliments the black t-shirt and the kickers. Also she could do different poses for me in the photo shoot with ease. Hence this gave me the opportunity to have a wider selection of photos for me to pick and to use in my magazine content page.

For example an R & B artist such as Rihanna was featured on the cover page of Vibe magazine where she wore big hoops silver earrings.

The model is doing this pose because it is a perfect pose for a full body shot. I need to take a full body shot of my model because I am planning to use this photo for the main image of my cover page.
