How to conduct a JE Photoshoot
1. Choose a Johnny's group.
2. Set up the background. Plain black or white backgrounds work, but try to be witty and adventurous and come up with something like NEWSpapers (for NewS) or sakura flowers (for Arashi). If all else fails, GIGANTIC coloured spots will save you every time.
3. Get you props together. We all known PROPS ARE ESSENTIAL for a good photoshoot. If you're trying to go for something "cute" baby animals are usefull (KAT-TUN), if you're trying to be edgy, try guns (KAT-TUN), if arty is what you're trying to achieve, pieces of randomly coloured paper (NEWS/K8/V.WEST). Props like BEDS are also VERY good (Yamapi/Arashi/KAT-TUN). They make all the fangirls crazy with hentai thoughts.
4. Wardrobe. Possibly the most important part of the shoot. Crazy colours work wonders, as do white cut off shorts, sandals that scream KIRA KIRA, pinku shirts, pointy shoes, shirts with AMAZING ENGRISH on them, too tight pants and yukattas. Having half naked/apparently naked group members is something to think about if you're on a budget.
5. Hair & Make-Up. There is no room for error when it comes to H&MU. The members must be at their prettiest. Be prepared to spend a little more to hire the best.

Notes; In order to get as much out of your photoshoot as possible the following should be taken into consideration.

When choosing a JE group to shoot, a few things need to be considered. The more members in the group, the more chance you'll be able to express your creativeness through them. Also, younger groups (NewS, K8, KATTUN, ARASHI, the rest of the Jrs, etc) are able to be manipulated coaxed into "abstract" ideas more easily than the older groups (V6, Kinki, TOKIO, SMAP). If you're feeling really adventurous; stick to the younger ones.

Pairing a good prop with your wardrobe is something to think about. For example, a bed mixed with half naked group members will give much more of an effect than if they were simply just standing around.

Also PAIRING THE GROUP MEMBERS is JUST as important. Check fangirl blogs and websites to get all the latest "COOL" JE pairings. For example, one cannot go wrong with Nishikido/Uchi, Akanishi/Kamenashi, Yamashita/Kusano, Aiba/Ohno, Ninomiya/Sakurai, etc.

A good tip is to try and incorporate the group's most recent single as a theme for props, but try to make it subtle but not (Umbrellas for K8 - Osaka RAINY Blues is a perfect example of this).

Matching coloured outfits are BEST.

Feathers are your friend. As is anything shiny & sparkly.

Use eye-raping colours to your advantage.

Encourage the group members to hug, touch, grope, and dry hump each other. You will become the most favoured photographer on the JE circuit by the fangirls. If you can get them to kiss each other; you're pretty much made.
