Photoshoot with Tahlia

Here’s a selection of photos from my photoshoot that i used for my content page and front cover. I preferred the photos of her with a happy and positive facial expressions and i felt it fit the aesthetic and themes better 

 

Colour pallette

 Due to the genre of music for my first magazine, i thought it was appropriate to chose highlighted green and back 

I thought these colours contrasted well together aswell as reflected the genre of house music and the star of the cover being a popular DJ
