First Photoshoot

These are photos from my first photo shoot. When I first took them, I had an idea of having a solo artist because I thought that this would be more effective, because then they would be the center of attention and I tried to portray this through these photos. However, as I began taking them I realised that it didn't work as a solo artist and that I need add another person in the photos. When I looked at these once again, I realised that these aren't photos that you would see on a Dance Music magazine and they don't look as though they appear to fit in this genre.
