Taking photos for cover page

Today I have took my pictures, but before I have done it I have met my model and make-up artist with hair stylist that have looked at my magazine research and models and decided what they should do with my models to make them look like magazine cover models. The hair stylist have curled theirs hair and pushed them up, after make-up artist put make-up one that looked very natural and suit my target audience. I have taken many different pictures where the models were posing differently. No all the photos came up well and I had to sit down with the models and hair & make-up artist and wrote our opinions on each photo and said what we like about each picture and decided to choose best photos. No all pictures were clear and after deleting the ones that didn’t come up too well I have realized I don’t have many photos left.

I have also changed these pictures by deleting the background and trying to add more colours on the model face using Photoshop.

This picture was taken with a background which will stand out on a magazine cover so if I wanted to use this picture I would have to crop the background. This mode is also no smiling which may give the audience a negative felling. The models face is not clear.

This picture is when I have cropped the background, but the models hand is not clear and the face looks bigger than the body.

The colour of the models face is much darker than arms. This don’t seem to relate to music theme.

This picture is well done I like the colours, but I would add more colours. The models face look really clear and I can see that she is concentrating on the camera. The readers will have the feeling that the model is looking directly at them.

This is the picture of a guitar that I’m going to place on the top of my magazine. I like it as it is very clear and the white background allow me to see the whole guitar and their orange-brown colours. It will suit with the cover page as the background is going to be white.

I like this photo as with the white background the model stands out, the model is also represented in dark cloths, where the face in very white. I would add more colours to the models face that may be represented better.

This picture is the same as above, but I have added more orange daylight, which makes the model stand out more and make her face look glamorous.

I really like this photo as the light is very bright, but at the same time her face is still in darker colours that reflect the background and make a contrast. I think this photo looks professional even though the model is not wearing dark cloths.

I like this photo as it is persuading it also adds a little bit of mystery and secrets. I don’t like the set of colours so I would have to change it in photo-shop .
