What is Influencing my Cover Photo

Photoshoot planning

Plans for Photoshoot

For my photoshoot I’m planning to use a male model and dress him up to look very aggressive and look like a stereotypical band member. I am planning to use some make-up to make my model look pale and dirty and I'm also planning to give my model a wig as long hair is the most stereotypical ‘metal head’ hairstyle.

Depending on the circumstances I may not be able to use makeup in case I don’t access to them so I will compromise with buying a horror mask or any other sort of mask and making my model wear it instead. I'm to go for more a Slipknot look for my front cover since their style is more iconic as it can be easily distinguished between metal and rock unlike some other metal bands. I will give my model a bass guitar or a pair of black drum sticks as the colour black is associated with the metal genre and I will also ask my model to wear an all-black attire as the colour black is associated with the metal genre. 

I'm planning for my model to either wear a black fleece, black shirt or a black t-shirt with black trousers and boots (or similar). This will of course depend on my model as he may not have these things so I will have to compromise with what I will have to work with.

I’m planning for my model to wear this gas mask as it will look pretty freaky with the lighting and it will go very well with the attire the model will be wearing. I am also thinking about getting white masking tape and taping some parts for it to look damaged.

I will settle for similar shoes to these as they go well with the metal style and it will still look in fashion with modern metal.

I want my model to wear either one of these tops in the shoot as it will fit my metal style. These will go well with the boots and the gas mask.

And finally I would like my model to wear either black cargo pants or black straight jeans as they will go very well with the top and the boots.
