Front Cover and Contents Page Photoshoot

Here are the images taken for my front cover and contents page. The pose of my model is essential to the overall image of my magazine and to attract my target audience. My model needs to be confident and looking directly at the camera. To make sure I was ready for this photoshoot, I researched some poses and got my model to recreate them in my photoshoot for the front cover and contents page. Here are the poses researched against the poses of my model. I was happy with the outcome of the image.

I particularly liked Katy Perry's pose on the front cover of Cosmopolitan. This magazine is a magazine that I aim to be similar too, with a very similar target audience to mine which suggests that this image is a success with the audience. The model looks very confident and very sure of herself, which is something my target audience will be looking for. The pose is also flattering to her figure and will encourage my audience to aim to be like her. My model matched this pose very well and also looks like someone my audience will aspire to be like. I took photos of this pose in both outfits, to give myself a choice.

The second image was also from Cosmopolitan. This model looks very confident, looks directly at the reader, helping to intergrate them into my magazine. The hands on the hip stance is very effective and is flattering for their figures. I like this image.

I like this pose as it is quite fun and flirty. My model recreated the olden days pose well and looks good. My target audience would admire these images as the models look confident and have good figures in their costumes.

This pose is for my contents page. The image that I chose to model the pose off was infact from a contents page itself and I thought it looked very effective. The text will wrap my model on the right-hand side which I think looks very trendy and stylish. I took some other photos similar to this which may also be used, as they look quite good. I am pleased with all of these photos.

I like how my models hair is laid out on the floor. I particurlary like the bottom image as it is more from a birds-eye angle. I believe my front cover, contents page will be very effective in the end.
