When you google the word "hiphop" lots of graffiti images is what comes up, but when you google r&b more urban images come up. After portraying the artist in the public eye as a hip hop artist with the twist of having him dress as more like a layed back r&b artist i decided i wanted too portray him in more of the hip-hop light but not too much as to turn off any perspective r&b customers. With this in mind i knew i wanted a graffiti type background.
I researched the places which had graffiti art on the walls in london......

......and this is what i came up with:
Stockwell park estate
Brick lane
Trellick Tower

After talking to alot of different people i knew that southbank also had alot of graffiti art and from personal knowledge i knew brick lane had a large variation of graffiti art aswel. i searched those locations individually and got this:
Brick lane

Southbank
After going and looking at a few places i chose brick lane for the shoot as i felt that the locations i chose fit the profiles of what i was looking for.
