Hip-Hop Magazine closer analysis: Picture

• Hip-Hop magazine pictures are usually close up-medium shots.
• The artist is usually, but not always looking at the camera.
• This artist, with some rare exceptions, will have a black expression on their face.
• The artist is nearly always a male.
• The clothing is usually either formal, like a suit, or very informal, with models wearing only a vest.
• Sometimes the artist is rendered black and white. I think this adds a mysterious effect to the model and also causes then to look modern, as black and white pictures are becoming an increasingly modern and artistic thing.
