Experimenting with music genres

This is a rap artist '2pac' we got influenced by the use of the west side that is in out initial photograph:

I then used Photoshop to edit this picture:
This is our Initial Picture:
Me and a partner (Nishil) where given a music genre of 'rap' we was asked to take a photograph based on the genre. As rap is known to be 'gangster' i dressed my partner up in a hoodie, showing the 'west side' with his hand moments. We focused on the face expression on the picture and also the shot the picture is at. We chose to do a medium shot to show the cloths that he is wearing to represent the music genre of 'rap'. This depicts the sort of mood of the music.
