When all shots were taken i had the photography lighting set up to go off in time with the camera to reduce the amount of shade when necessary.

Shot 1 was the first shot I took using the SLR camera before I adjusted the exposure and settings on the camera to suit the shots I wanted to take. With this model I thought that the second and third shot were of better quality.

Shots 2 and 3 are both using the same pose and shot as they were both close ups and looking away from the camera. The pose was that stereotypically used by a DJ as he was holding one ear cup which is often seen as a thing DJs do. Also he is wearing headphones with the style stereotypically worn by DJs.

Shot 4 was a medium close up or a semi long shot as it included the top half of the legs. This shot wasn't as effective as some others doing the same pose such as shot 9.

Shot 5 was taken looking more casual DJ than other shots as the model was wearing a jacket not ipped up and looking away from the camera.

Shot 6 was the same as shot 4 but with the headphones around the neck to show shots of different styles. the shade on the left of the figure creates a good effect. 

Shot 7 and 8 do not suit the genre so much as they are not dressed to a DJ Style and are not showing the kind of emotions I wanted to portray in the photos.

Shot 9 was used as the front cover photo as it is staring into the camera to look serious, also a medium close up was used as it seemed appropriate for a front cover photo. also I did research from DJmag to distinguish that DJs will often wear shirts buttoned to the top on the cover and also show DJs wearing headphones on the cover.
