Test shots

For this image I have taken a close up portrait shot of one of my models in the studio with a black background. I have directed her to look straight into the camera to address the readers. She is smiling to try and create a fun happy effect. I think this image will be suitable to use in my contents page as a close up of the main feature of the magazine. I like this image but when I take my final photographs I will try and use different expressions.

This image was also taken in the studio because this is my chosen location, it is a portrait medium close up. Her hands are placed on her hips to make the image look less serious she is also smiling to make the image more natural and less posed. The white top stands out well from the background and makes her costume more noticeable. For my real photographs I will try and have a white background in the studio to make he hair standout more and the image will be easier to use.   

In this image I have directed my model to put one hand on her hip this is to make the pose more appealing and to make the photograph standout from the page. This image is a portrait medium close up which means it would be suitable for both the front cover and the double page spread. She is also wearing a colourful scarf to add more colour to her costume and to make it more attention grabbing.  I like this pose because it make it fun and girly which is the image i am trying to get across to my readers.

For this image I have tried a different angle from the others to get a variation. It is another medium close up as I think it goes well for a front cover or double page spread. I have tried to make this image a little more serious which is reinforced be her pose of crossing her arms this is to make the magazine have more edge but to keep the theme of a pop magazine.
