Photographs Taken.

I don't like the way my model is positioned in this photograph. Her chin is very low and her head is tilted a lot which I don't like.

I don't like her facial expression on this photograph, it's like she is squinting to be able to see and also she is holding lip gloss in the photo which I wouldn't like on my front cover.

I like this photograph because she is positioned in a way where she is tilted away from the camera enough to not be full frontal but is forward enough to not be completely side on. I think the lighting frames her face very nicely and makes her cheek bones look very promenant and defined, which I like. What I don't like about it is the fact you can see her bra strap. I will have to edit this out using photoshop and make sure that in my final product you can't see it.

I took this pictures in my model's bedroom. I took them against a plain wall so that it would make editing the photographs easier and look better. I placed the lighting as well as I could so that I wouldn't produce a shadow on the wall. This is so that it is easy to crop out and won't take the emphasis off my model. I took a different range of photographs from different angles and different framings. I took them in a medium and a medium close up frame to see which I liked best. I didn't take any long shots as these pictures are meant for my front cover which is stereotypically meant to be a medium shot.

I like this photo as she looks very cool and calm. I like how she is positioned in a way that makes her look open and like a role model. I think the shadow in this picture lets it down a lot but I can edit that out in Photoshop, but apart from that this is the picture that I would like in my double page spread.

I took these pictures in my model's spare room. I positioned her in a way that was influenced by an issue of Billboard magazine. I wanted her looking relaxed and comfortable. I don't like how the flooring is carpet as I would prefer it if it was wooden or laminate but I can change this in photoshop. Also the lighting was very hard to position as it was fixed onto the ceiling in this room so I will have to make sure I edit out all of the shadows in photoshop also. I took long and wide shots of my model. I wanted the background in the picture to actually be the background in the article too. I did this because of the influence I saw in Billboard where the whole double page spread was one image.

I don't like my model's stance and body language in this photograph. She looks like she is screaming which isn't really a look I would like to portray to my target audience. I would like a photograph that is more cool and relaxed so that it intrigues people to read the article in my magazine. Also the shadow is really big in this picture which means it would be harder to edit out. She doesn't give a very good vibe in this picture so I will not be using it for my contents page.

I like this picture (I have already taken the floor out) because my model is positioned in a way where she looks sassy and like she has attitude. I think this works well as having it on my contents page because she looks like the type of person my target audience would look up to. The hand-on-the-hip look really makes her stance and body language scream 'pop idol' which is what I am aiming for. The long shot really compliments this because it lets you see her body language in more depth.

I took these pictures in the same room as I took the ones for my double page spread. I would prefer if the the carpet wasn't there as this would make it look a lot better, but I can edit it out easily. I would like my model to be full frontal and in a long shot for my contents page photograph, this is why all of these photos are long shots. I think the long shot is more suited for the contents page because you can see my model's attitude within the picture which may entice readers to look at the article on her when they look at my contents page.
