Casting

One of the possible models I could use for my magazine is Tommy Ledwidge. I could put him on the front of the magazine because he looks like he fits in with my chosen genre. Also I could make sure that he wears the suitable clothes that will fit in with the genre I have chosen. However Tommy already has clothes that will be suited to this genre so that he doesn't have to go out and buy clothes just for this photoshoot.

Another possible model I could use is Sean Nee. He is suitable to this genre because he fits in and looks appropriate in the images. Also he looks the part, this is because many hip-hop artists have short hair or long dreadlock style hair. Sean has short hair which is suitable to this genre, this then will make it easier for people to recognise the genre. Also the clothes is not an issue because many hip-hop artists wear tracksuit and Sean has one.

Another person I could use for this photoshoot is myself. I could use myself because I fit in with the genre and can use props to make it more effective. Also I could wear a tracksuit or a plain t-shirt and a jacket. This is because this will fit the hip-hop genre and can be recognised by the consumer. However I would have to get someone else to take the pictures which may be difficult.

Another possible candidate for my magazine could be Shea Mckernan. This is because he has the right look to be in the magazine, also he can pose in the right ways that would be suited to my genre. Furthermore the clothing is not a problem because Shea has the suitable clothing necessary to fit this genre. Finally, some of the pictures I could take I could edit them and make the image look black and white. This is because the colour of most Hip-hop magazines are quite dull.

The final person I could perhaps use in my magazine is Liam Nixon. Liam could possibly be on my magazine because I could edit some of the photos so he could try and suit the hip-hop genre. However Liam possibly is not suitable for my chosen genre because he looks more suited to a pop style genre. This is because most photos from hip-hip artists are serious and in this photo it doesn't look right when Liam does it.
