HIM
M O D E L :
Horea Hada
Horea is from Romania, he is 19 years old. We chose him to be our model because of his physical appearance and characteristics.
​
For the concept we want a mature look and he fits this criteria.
We wanted to represent a topic which contemporary, it took us quite a while to find something and that was related to fashion.
We decided to represent a young male social media influencer through an interview reflecting his opinion on how the world of fashion changed and its marketing strategies.
To highlight the relevance and to a certain extent curiosity this person and his career represent nowadays. We named the magazine title "Him".
we decided to represent a male because this gender is underrepresented in the world of fashion, there aren't many male social influencers in fashion. It is more frequent to have female, such as, Patricia Manfield.
As we wouldn't be able to contact a famous social media influencers, such as Corentin Huard, we asked our college so the model is not an actual social media influencers
We wanted to follow the procedure of an actual interview for it to be the most accurate. For the shoot to represent the style and surroundings of the "social influencers" we decided for it to take place in his apartment.
In order to keep and respect the privacy of the "social influencer", we would like not specify the exact location but instead you can observe a plan of an apartment from the residence he lives in.
L O C A T I O N :
The plan is provided from the official website of the residence
for it to be accurate for an example.

We did not contact the model through instant messages because we wanted an honest reaction and answer from the model, so we asked him in person to make sure.
No cost was made as we used prop already owned by the model for the photoshoot to represent him in a personal way somehow.
For the location, we also did not spend any money because we used the apartment of the model to take pictures.

This shoot took us less time than our first shoot, we took around 3hours. The model was very welcoming into his home, we try finding places that we liked to take pictures, such as, simple walls or his balcony. It was not the same ambience than with Vivienne Hermann but it was still nice. We took less time figuring out how to install the lightning kit as we experimented before with it.

For the editing part, we mostly worked on the skin of the model as we wanted a natural editing, meaning no filter unless B&W. When we did not like the colors we worked with Color Balance. During the process of editing, we worked on photoshop and used tools, such as the Spot Healing brush, Healing brush, Blur tool, Magnetic lasso, Patch tool, Image Ajustements.
