Planning of photography - support artist photo shoot

I am currently in the process of planning a photo shoot for my supporting artists.

The photo shoot will take place on Friday the 28th of February and it will involve two boys, that will act as a boy band and another boy that will be a solo singer. 

I want the boys to all have a 'mysterious' vibe about them to make the reader curious and want to read more about them. This involves fairly dark but clear lighting, dark clothing and good facial expressions. They do not necessarily have to look directly at the camera.

Drafting of magazine layout - Masthead idea #1

This was my first idea for a masthead. I do not feel this attempt was successful as it does not suit the style of the magazine I am going for and also looks fairly childish and basic. I also feel that this masthead does not 'jump out' at the reader or attract much attention so I definitely am not going to use it in my final design.
