04 March 2013 - Pictures of Music Magazine

Pictures I have taken for my Music Magazine

Good pictures:



What I had particularly liked about this picture is that it's quite a natural mid-shot as my model wasn't looking directly into the camera. Also the lighting creates a very dark and sinister yet urban feel to the image.


This image is a head-shot of the model and what I had liked about this shot is that the model yet again is natural looking whilst with the lighting it add a contrast to the natural shot. As this is a head-shot it enables the viewers to have an insight onto the models emotion.


This is a beautiful head-shot of the model and what I really admired about this image is the lighting in this picture. The lighting illuminates the complexion of the model and highlights the great parts of her face.


The way in which I had made the model pose was the relate to the title of the music magazine and also it creates a very deviant emotion. The lighting in this picture compromises with the pose of the model.


The way in which the model is posed in this head-shot image is denoting to the readers that she is trying to portray a dominant status as her facial features emphasise that.


The pose that the model is doing is similar to the one a few pictures above - and as I had written before - it relates to the title of the magazine, but the lighting on this picture is different as it was taken indoors. I like them both but each picture has their pros and cons.


This mid-shot of my model is stunning as she's doing a natural pose like most of the pictures above but the lighting ins't as light on the skin as some of the other outdoor pictures. The way in which her hair creates a small shadow across her face gives her a mysterious side of her.


This is my favourite picture that I had taken out of all the photo's for the music magazine. The shot angle that I used is high angle shot. The lighting in this picture is perfect as it illuminates her face in all the right places, making her seem innocent and the same time a double side to her that she hasn't revealed. The mid-shot photo helps the readers to see her facial features as well as make her seem the most dominant from the whole picture.

Bad pictures:


This picture has quite dark lighting therefore not being able to emphasise her as the dominant subject of the frame. Plus the models hair is in her face so the audience is not being able to see her facial emotions. Even though I used a mid-shot camera shot I still think that it doesn't do much to show much about the models character.


This picture is quite similar to the image above but the model is looking straight into the camera. As this is a mid-shot, the model's facial expression is not clearly shown to the audience.


In this low shot image the model doesn't look at all attractive to the viewers and the models face doesn't show any characteristics. The model's chin also doesn't look suitable for the frame shot as her chin looks quite out of poportion. The only good thing about this image is that the lighting is perfect as it covers her highlights and lowlights.


The models pose in this close up shot doesn't suit the genre of the magazine as the model is looking at the left side of the frame, making her look awkward as the whites of her eyes attract to much attention. The way in which her mouth shows her front teeth also makes the image look out of place.


This long shot of the model doesn't give much appeal to the audience as this picture looks like a normal, casual picture taken of a random person - there is nothing special about it. An upside to this picture is that the shadow behind the model gives a nice effect for the image.


First of all, the lighting of this picture is too red/orange therefore making the models face look orange which isn't what I had intended in this shot. The camrea shot in this image - which is a mid-shot - isn't bad but as what I want the audience to focus on is her facial expression it doesn't give the audience a clear image of her face.


The lighting in this image is the same as the one above, meaning that yet again the model seems to orange in her complexion. I like the pose of the model in this long shot but as her hair is covering most of her face it doesn't show much of her emotion.


The mid/close-up shot of the model isn't as effective as I had thought as the models facial expression doesn't seem to be really connecting to the audience, as her eyeline is directed to the right side of the frame. The lighting of this picture doesn't seem to go well with her complexion as her skin tone is coming out quite a dark yellow which wasn't what I was going for. Also the people walking in the background make the picture look less profesional.


In this close-up shot the models facial expression looks odd in comparison to the genre of my music magazine - which is Rock/Metal. The lighting of this picture doesn't blend well with her skin complexion as the background is a dark cream colour and her face is a dark yellow colour - I wanted her skin to look flawless. 


In this close-up shot yet again the models facial expression looks odd in comparison to the genre of my music magazine. And again the lighting of this image (similar to the one above) makes the models face seems too dark - the hightlights and shadows of her face seem in one tone - which doesn't make the model seem appealing to the audience at all.
