Photo shoot planning

Now that you have started to produce the mock-ups for your front cover you need to begin planning for the photos that you will need to take for the front cover in your own photo shoots.  These photos will need to feature people that will be convincing as musical artists. They will also need to feature props and costumes that will make them look relevant to a music magazine.   You will need to consider the location and how to light that location. Using a white sheet as a backdrop can be an effective tool to create the illusion of a photography studio.  You will need to try a few ideas for camera shots and try different costumes and looks.  You should aim to take 3 different approaches that you can then develop into mock-ups.  You should take many more photos than you need.
