Photoshoot 2// America Skater 90's


For my second photoshoot I used 2 different model, Max and Nathan. I was more specific about their clothing and based it closely on American Skater bands which is my main music genre. For their clothing I used inspiration off Mac Demarco and FIDLAR, I got them both to wear different shades of denim shirts so it didn't look over staged and the black skinny jeans are traditional skater jeans so they fitted my genre well. Also, Mac Demarco is infamous for his beanie hats and washed out colours so I thought that the mustard yellow beanie that Max is wearing really added to the authenticity. Similarly, I went out of my way to pick models with beards/stubble which is what both my models have. It creates a more grunge and laid back atmosphere within the photos and reflects the music genre very accurately. I wasn't able to use any outdoor areas as the weather was really bad however I am going to edit them into a background of either an oldish American town, wooden planks or bricks.
 


I have taken some more pictures with different models. The clothing that I have picked for them is denim jackets to create a more authentic affect; the denim and black skinny jeans makes Nathan and Max look similar to the atmosphere that Mac Demarco and FIDLAR achieve in their photos for their music genre.

I could only use the white background because the weather outside was really bad but I am going to edit in a different background using photoshop.  

I am going to use either one of these two pictures for my double page spread; there is a lot of room for a big heading and articles to go around the image and I am going to add a plain grungish back drop to keep the authenticity of my genre. I like the they are both featuring cigarettes and black skinny jeans with denim. Also, Max has a beard and it is very similar to those in my mood board as 2/4 members of FIDLAR have a beard so I think is becoming a fashion statement again within my genre.
