Sample photo for front cover 4

I have finally found a male model willing to go to the extremes of wearing makeup and dressing up as the joker for me. As there was a lot of preparation to this photo, such as hair and makeup, i asked my friends who fit in with my target market if they would come and see my model dressed up and look at a couple of sample photos for me to tell me what they think. They were very impressed and made it obvious that this is the style of image they would like to see on a rock/indie/metal magazine. They told me that the way he was looing into the camera really caught their attention and could see this kind of photo on a real magazine-so obviously this really is a convention of a real media product. I have dressed my model stereo-typicaly as The Joker, this is because I want my 'celebrity' to be a well-known artist, not only because he looks like The Joker, but becasue he impersonates him too. It's his personality. I think i have got the hair, makeup and clothing to a T and will definately be using one of the photos I have taken today on my front cover.
