Costume

I looked at many magazines of RnB genre and saw many conventions, the style was constantly smart casual looking, for example of the front cover of Vibe, Kendrick Lamar was wearing a white shirt with a few buttons undone, with chains around his neck, this makes him look, rich as well as powerful in the music industry. Women tend to wear dresses, to make them appear classy as well as glamorous.
Some of my initial inspiration:

Before my photo-shoots i prepared a few costumes that i wanted my models to wear for the images, for example i asked my peer Tyler to originally wear a bandanna around his head along side a white shirt.

After hearing audience feedback i discovered that the bandanna actually took away the smart look at drifted away from my originally intention. In my re-shoot i had removed the bandanna to keep the white shirt.

I asked my other peer Eli to bring in a dress as well so that i could photograph her in the dress for my contents page.

Here are the costumes that i used:
