Main FINAL idea

Produce a portfolio of photographs for an upcoming music artist and their social media platform to help sell and promote their image. Deliverables would be a range of content images and a recored cover.

Making my model/client an upcoming music artist would allow a connection of having something to inspire or influence others with the purpose of selling and promoting their image.

Next Photoshoot plan

My plan for the week is to use the photography studio again, improve my technique and efficiency within the space and produce a range of stage content.

The key must idea:

Make the photos square for tiles but also have a range of sizes. Framing of the image within Instagram

Think of captions for the Instagram posts, so an so ep is coming content for them

How do they like to be presented, symbols of a music look, environment. Making him a singer

different context and content

Fashion/music aspects

Make them pop in Photoshop

Change outfits, context in a park

Music photographers

After finally deciding that I was going to make my model a music artist, I was recommended to look at music photographers and see what they do.

I liked Jordan Shields's photography and his view on photographing music artists. "Regardless of your sonic identity, I possess the vision and expertise to craft photographs that resonate with your unique musical persona." (Shields, 2011)

Most of his images are in concerts and gigs; with limited time and access, I'm unable to do this, but he also had some studio-style photos with a clean background and used colour lighting. He showed his clients more seriously outside of their music, but you can still tell they are musicians through using facial expressions, camera angles, and lighting. Some people have just that look that they are cool musicians, and when photographing them, Jordan showed them in their light, making them shine without their instruments or on a stage.

Currently, I really like just trying to showcase my model's personality, as he's very photogenic and has this music artist look. My model does play the bass, but he's unable to bring it outside his house, which is understandable. With limited time, I could use the idea of showcasing the vibe of my model as a music artist.

It's also intriguing to see how he prices his photoshoots as a commercial photographer. I've done location and studio shoots for this semester; it's interesting that if I were a commercial photographer right now, I would have charged my clients for something I had fun doing with a friend.

Chapter Three:

I Think We Have an Emergency 🚨

I let Speedy lead the way as we made our way back to the VIP standing area. He didn’t take my hand this time, and I didn’t look for it. He and Pepper were being extra derivate in their moves. I decided to be, as well.

Besides, it was too early for me to choose my heart, anyhow. I just ended a relationship only a month ago. I ended it with a guy named Sydney… but he was known as Syd. He was pretty well known on campus as the next Picasso to ever live. And like any hopeless romantic artist, I wanted so badly to be his muse. And for a while, I was. For a while, Syd used me as inspiration for his upcoming art gallery. He called the exhibit, All Shades of Mahogany. For a moment, we were happy. For a moment, I was in love with him. Or at least, that’s what I told myself. Our connection didn’t go any deeper than painted canvas and late-night photography and fucking. He never asked about my family or asked which colors made me shine brightest. He never asked me what thoughts kept me up at night. Or what my favorite stage of the moon was. Like his paintings, nothing lay deeper between the surface. Nothing could simulate a heated conversation that could turn into late-night passion. Nothing was shown, but the priceless work of my given ass, then.

Paramore plays through their album “Brand New Eyes.” My body morphed with excitement. This was the album we all bonded over. And the album we played the most in our musical line-up. We played it so much that we each had a song that embodied our mood aura. Pepper was Playing God. Speedy was Where the Lines Overlap. And mine switched. Most days it was Decode. But other days it was Misghosted Ghosts. Today, it was Misghosted Ghosts. This song fits me best. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt the remorse of the past trickling down just as the rain started to. I feel more transparent now than ever. I wanted so badly for everything to be out in the open. I wanted to reach for Speedy’s hand and intertwine it with mine. I wanted to feel his lips again, especially now. With the rain, his hair glistened in between the light strobes. I wanted to… I needed to feel his warmth again. Would it be so wrong? I didn’t care about the complications. It was a promise I didn’t make. I wanted Speedy to just grab me like he did before in this ongoing rain.

“What?” Speedy questioned, an eyebrow rose. He caught me looking at him again.

“Nothing,” I quickly turned away. I shook off the imagery that was implanted in my brain. His hair was wet and my fingers coursed through it. Our lips slightly parted as we mended our tongues into.

“Moggie,” Speedy called for me, more sternly. He didn’t like it when I couldn’t tell him what I was thinking. But for his sake, I don’t think I should reveal anything. I just shook my head once more and hugged my arms close. He leaned down to meet my face and froze. He took his hand and lifted it under my chin to meet his gaze. “Just wait a little bit longer, kay?”

My eyes closed. I whispered, “This isn’t fair, you know. I already chose-,”

“Don’t finish that sentence.” Speedy snapped. I huffed and pulled away from his touch. There was an inner turmoil raging that couldn’t escape the fuse. I had to keep my distance from him. I couldn’t act the way I wanted to. He saw my anguish and sighed, “Let’s just enjoy the rest of the concert, please Moggie.”

I didn’t argue. I still wanted to have a good time. I couldn’t let my heart overtake the joy I had being here once more. So I pushed him, from the furthest of my mind. I put my heart under lock and key, and maybe… that’ll be alright for me.

We danced, we twirled, and we threw our devil signs in the cold frosted New York air. We felt everyone screaming from behind us, receiving massive energy towards the stage lights. Things started to feel somewhat normal again, and I let go to have fun. With the year I’ve had… my last year at the New York Institute of Art and Design. It was quite a hell. I didn’t want to fixate on how messed up my life turned out to be after graduating. By this time, I had two degrees in art history. And after that, it seemed like nothing had pan out for me, job-wise. But that’s the land of the Free. They take your freedom, a sense of being bound to student loans, to not offer a job up for your hard-earned work. If you didn’t know the right people, no way it was possible to fit in. I shook my head to ignore the empty feelings at the countless rejections I’ve gotten in the few months I’ve been applying. Instead, I focused my energy to flow with the familiar music blasting melodies that my inner teenager connected with. I deserved to have fun. And I shouldn’t accept anything less.

“Okay, everyone. We have sort of a surprise for someone in the audience out there,” Hayley broadcasted as the band dwindled. It was low piano playing. I guess that they were going to bring someone on stage. Paramore hasn’t done that in a while, but this was a reunion tour. Anything can go. “Are you ready? Let me hear ya!”

The crowd roared and shook the ground. I lost balance and knocked into Speedy. He caught me, of course. After I got my footing back, he pointed to the stage. Then, I saw him. Pepper was now on the stage and his eyes were locked in my direction. It froze me instantly. I hadn’t seen him perform in years, and the fact he was about to after his mom’s passing was huge. I could just cry. I wasn’t going to. But this moment could be described as that.

“Madison Square, how we doing so far? Y’all enjoying the show?” Pepper asked into the microphone, setting up his acoustic. The crowd cheered and he had this genuine smile on his face. “That’s good to hear. I hope you’ll let me share the stage with some legends. There’s… some shit I gotta atone for a very old friend of mine. And, she’s here tonight.”

Then the spotlight shifted on him, and a second one appeared right above me. I looked at him, not knowing what was taking place. He wasn’t… going to sing to me, was he? Pepper wasn’t the type to display his feelings outwardly. At least, that’s what I’ve always known up until now. What changed?

“Let’s get her up here, shall we?” Pepper asked the crowd. They applauded, and my face got even hotter. I looked at Speedy and he nodded, pushing me forward to go. I didn’t handle the spotlight very well. My body got super shaky as the security guard cleared a path for me to be on stage with him.

“Watch your step,” the security guard said. I nodded as I shakily gripped the stairwell, and made my way up to where Pepper was sitting on a stool with Dandelion (his acoustic). Then he offered the stool to me, knowing my stage fright. I was glad to sit down. If I stood any longer, I would’ve fainted.

Pepper glances my way and whispers, “Just listen, I wrote this a few days ago,” His diplophonic tenor voice rises and floods throughout the crisp New York air. The crowd responded, waving phone-lit ivory lights here and there. They swayed as he played and I sat there motionless, not sure how to react in any way. The lyrics were cozy and subtle… like a fireplace warming my heart.

How could I have left you?

I beat myself over and over

I was so lost without you

The way we drifted apart

Caused by destruction

To my heart

I cared for you deeply

Even still

I hope you’ll be with me

Until it heals

We hadn’t had a chance

To see what our hearts could do

As it danced and swept the sky

Bringing a greater chance

To become together

No perfect view

There’s no time given

To someone who wasted it all

So instead

I wrote this song

Hoping to God

You would forgive me

As I confess to you

How much I did fall

Chorus:

Was it the way you smiled

like the heavens could be reached?

Was it the way you crinkle your nose

every time you winked?

I can’t begin, to list all the reasons back then,

But I know when I was around you

Suddenly, my favorite color

Became your very existence.

Everyone raved and cheered to Pepper’s song. I was crying hysterically. I got up to hug him, and he sat his guitar down and embraced me. All those years not knowing, I couldn’t fathom how much my heart was racing. Of course, I cared a lot for Pepper. I didn’t realize how much until right now. The hard part wasn’t admitting this. The hard part comes when I have to choose between such an ignorant bliss. Pepper or Speedy. I never thought my heart could be split down the middle so easily.

“Moggie, I’ve always loved you…” Pepper confesses in almost a whisper. “Shit wasn’t easy admitting to myself. But you had to know, even if I was a complete ass all along. You had to know, I couldn’t just move on.” The applause broke my train of thought. Paramore let Pepper bow once more before we cleared the stage. Then, we were off.

“I… I’m…” I was stumbling, not sure what to say.

“You don’t have to say anything now. Let’s just-,”

Pepper’s words got lost in my lips rushing his. He held me tighter than before. His strong hands are over my delicate body. I felt protected once more. Here we stood in a full embrace and not one of us wanted to let go. I wanted him to be even closer… I wanted him to feel my warmth sparking up like a toaster. He held my face as we started to pull away. I never knew how kissing Pepper would be. I never envisioned it. But right now, that seemed like a perfect time to let my fantasies roam free.

“I do love you, Pepper,” I started honestly. However, must I choose? My heart was wrenching around both men became quite a spectrum. “I just never knew how deep you felt. I really can’t believe you wrote that song just for me.”

“I wrote that song because I’m in love with you.” Pepper’s transparency poured out even more. It was like a veil had been lifted against his heart and he was able to express himself a lot more freely than before.

“That’s why it was so hard to let you go. It was so hard for me… I couldn’t see you not next to me. But my anger got the best of me. I wanted to tell you- that night at Rosie’s. But when you mentioned New York, shit, I just saw red, Mog. I assumed you were putting that distance between us on purpose. And I snapped… but I could never let go of you… completely. Even when I wasn’t talking to you, I still got signs-everywhere-that my heart belonged with you.”

“Oh, Pep.” My tears seem to show what my words could not. I looked down from his face, not sure what to do. Was I wrong to hold both men in my heart? Was I wrong to love… two?

Then, Pepper grinned and started to wipe the tears from my face. He looked at me with such confidence as he lifted my face. “Moggie… I know about Speed, already,” My eyes widened and he stroked my face once more. “And I know how much you need him. I wasn’t confessing all this to make you choose me. For once, in my life, I wanted no secrets with you. I wanted a clean slate. That's how much I’m in love with you.”

I shook my head violently. And before I knew it, I was confessing my hidden heart desires. I was confessing, “I want both of you.”

Pepper snickered and raised me off the ground. “I mean, how can you not? I think Speed will be happy. After the song, he didn’t think he had another shot.” He puts me down and I bump his shoulder.

“You don’t find it… unorthodox?”

He teases me. “Sounds like you do, more than me.”

“I guess… I never really saw myself loving this much.”

“It ain’t bad, Moggie. You just have a bigger heart than the rest of us. I’ve always seen that as your greatest strength.”

“Really?”

“Yes… really.”

I kissed him once more. It was slight, but I think that was the first time I ever saw Pepper blush. After we pull apart, we are greeted by Speedy who looks like a confused puppy. Still, his amber eyes couldn’t stop my heart from skipping multiple beats. Pepper nudged me to go talk with him. He rendered backstage with more tasks the stage manager had been barking at him to do. It was nice seeing him like this… it was nice seeing them together like this. Even still after all this time, I felt like a kid again whenever they pulled me in. Loving them both felt like a frozen crime. Still, I let my greediness flare a bit. I saw no reason for this to be the end of it. My heart wanted all of it. I wanted the boy who sang me to sleep on drunken nights and I wanted the boy who always put his safety on the line, trying to protect mine. Truth is, if I did choose, it wouldn’t feel complete. In the end, I would still lose. And I wasn’t choosing defeat.

“So….” Speedy probed. His face ran tightly. He was expecting me to reject him.

“So,” I grabbed his face and pulled him close. “I’ve chosen to be in love with you, too, Speedster.”

“Wait- don’t bullshit me, Moggie,” He warned, but I explained. It was simple not to view it as black or white. My heart pulled into the warmest of grays. His heart called out for me. Like a silent symphony. And Pepper’s heart struck off all the right chords that shattered the mirage of what I thought I knew. Both blended melodies lifted into a beautiful complex symphony my heart could get used to.

“Is that a dealbreaker for you?” I added, hugging his neck.

“Hell no, I just… I thought Pepper would have freaked and claimed you all to himself.”

“No,” I laughed. “He took it surprisingly well.”

“Good,” Speedy wasted no time and sealed our lips together like a passage in time. It was confirmation he was mine. He picked me up and swirled me around. We laughed in between kisses as the rain poured into this scattered dance. “Cause I ain’t never letting you go, Mahogany Farewell.”
