Organisation - Location and Date

The date for the photo shoot - Friday 8th January 

I have now recently started planning my photography day where I will take my photos of my model for my music magazine. I have decided this to be the date since my model can only work with me on Fridays due to them have previous engagements (E.G a job, family events ect...) but with both Christmas day and New years day being on Friday it has been difficult to find a date we both can work on.  ​

I am hoping to go into Digbeth about 11am and take several shots of my model, I have decided on this location as it really displays the urban yet slightly reckless ethos I hope to display within my magazine. Additionally, I have decided on  this date due to the horrendous weather forecasts that have occurred and so the weather forecast for this Friday will be 7 degrees and so therefore though it won't be too warm there is a low chance of rain, which will mean I will more

likely have clear and high quality photos to work with for my first draft of the magazine. ​

The location I am now set on for my photo shoot is Digbeth due to the streets having an interesting array of backgrounds to support my photography with as well as some streets that could support the laid back and slightly grungy ethos I am trying to reflect within my magazine.  ​

This particular area holds a large amount of urban connotations with a slightly retro and disheveled feel towards it, which in my opinion fits very well with the reckless and laid back aesthetic my magazine is trying to achieve. Additionally, the unique artwork covering the area being graffiti creates a sense of symbiosis between the location and the magazine since both push against the social conformities that are put in place as graffiti is an illegal art form and my magazine will try to experiment with the wild and daring part of the music industry, which is why I have decided to go with the indie pop genre. The bright and vibrancy of this location is perfect to reveal how the world isn't just 'black and white' and so this magazine is trying an alternative view to the rest, which will hopefully appeal to new and younger audiences looking for a magazine that's something fresh, new and ultimately exciting just like this area is.
