Whilst photographing Blay I wished to portray him in an equally masculine and effeminate way, this was to address Blay’s homosexuality and to beckon that homosexuality doesn’t always mean that the person who isn’t heterosexual is necessarily effeminate, so I attempted to present his sexuality in an equal way; whereby it could be perceived as evident that he’s homosexual or his sexuality could be obscured or concealed. In the first image, I wished to portray him in a masculine and yet fragile state; his masculinity portrayed by pushing his mid-section forward slightly to exert dominance, whilst his facial expression remains reserved and has connotations of concealment which in itself (on the contents page) acts as an incentive for the target audience of Telos Magazine to purchase the magazine and read the content, to read into why Blay looks as though he’s got a lot to say. In the third image, Blay’s gesture code is also presented as fragile and reserved whereby he is crouching within the grass; withholding connotations of him hiding something which would then be revealed inside the content of the magazine. However, I didn’t use this image as my main image as I found whilst the tigers on Blay’s shirt correlated well with the long grass surrounding him, the grass also eclipsed his attire (this wasn’t suitable as the basis and sole focus of my magazine front cover was to focus on fashion). I decided to utilise the sixth image as the image for the contents page of my magazine as his gesture code represented him as a stark masculine figure whilst his facial expression (his smirk) represents him as a more effeminate figure. In this image of Blay I shot him from the side to reduce his form to make him look feminine- drawing a parallel between the image of Jack and the image of Blay, this was perfect for my contents page.
