Contructing my media product - digital photographs

Now that I knew the genre of the magazine and I had drawn up mock ups, I started to take my digital photographs of models; I tried to use technical codes and symbolic codes effectively by framing my shots in order to represent the genre of hip hop.
Below are the final three original digital images I choose that I thought that could be then manipulated in Photoshop.

The costume is very informal which also connotes that the magazine is an informal magazine. It also represents the HIP HOP genre as there costume is very street wise.
The mise en is a wall I did this because I wanted to represent teenagers and a stereotypical teenager is hanging around on the streets. Medium close up, I did this because most front cover magazine have the typical convention of medium close up for the front cover, and there is natural lighting.

This image was taken outside therefore I used natural lighting which gave the effect of realism, furthermore the reason behind taking the image outside was because the magazine is aimed at teenagers and most teenagers spend most of there time outside on the streets.
The costume in this image is very street wise, a hooded top and a baseball cap which represent the target audience for urban hits.
The posture is of the model standing to the side with this arms crossed which connotes the idea that he has attitude and is outstanding and he looks powerful. The posture on the HIP HOP magazine was also very powerful I have also I created an image which has a powerful meaning and the shot taken was medium shot.

For this image I used studio lights which were coming from the right hand side and was shining from the front of the model. I used studio lights to make the image more effective. This image is a long shot and I will be using it on my double spread page, the reason behind me choosing to take a long shot is because the magazine Hip Hop which I emulating used a long shot for there double page spread.
The mise en scene is a plain wall this was because I wanted to layer this image onto a graffiti wall. The posture of the model connotes the idea of attitude which is associated with teenagers.
The body pose looks very flirtations and sexy which could attract the opposite sex to read the article.
