Vice project
Vice is a print magazine and website focused on arts, culture and news topics. founded in 1994 in Montreal Quebec, Canada, the magazine was the first product of the media company known as vice media as of April 2017, the magazine's editor in chief is Ellis Jones.
Vice is mostly known to target young audiences because of their magazine content which can easily attract young people, just like their front page photographers, colourful, bright, and attractive.
Vice feature
- Bold colour
- Narrative photographs/Entertaining.
My idea for this project is to create a very attractive image to make the audience want to take a look and read about the photographer and to ask what inspired him to do such work
Am thinking to go into culture to put my model in a native Nigerian attire to sort of show how different the culture is in Nigeria and how their cloths is different to the English one, I will detail on the the clothe and the other assessory my model will be putting on.
Lighting
- key light
- Gel fill
Inspiration
I did a lot of research because it is difficult to find this type particular photographer that does something like this, but with the help of a friend I eventually find one. his name is Lakin Ogunbanwo. his project is sort of Documenting the contemporary traditions of Nigerians brides.

Test shoot
This is my test shoot, i was was so confused when i started this test shoot because i really didn’t know what lighting i wanted to use to be able to come out with good depth, so i started playing with lights so as as to know what's going to be best for the shoot. and i realised am going to need a softbox to be abke to control the light from bancing away. also my backdrop will be something colourful or something that can bring out the beauty of the clothing, this is an example of how my front cover will be, very Bold and highly detailed. everything is not so perfect in this test shoot but i have seen what can be better and understand how i will set everything up for the actual shoot.
this is an example of the inside page, for the main shoot it will have another prop to it which is drum, which i think it will add more beauty and meaning to it.
This is just a sketch of how my photos is going to be layed out on the vice template
