Contents page photo research

Photo Research 

As you can see the majority of the photos for each contents page are one large focus picture and then smaller pictures for different features. This is something that i want to put into my magazine contents page. I feel that the big photo that I am going to use is going to be a different model on the front. This is because I feel that my model for the front cover has very strong facial features and for my double page spread i want someone with a better suited body to my contents page research. The photo that i am going to create will have to link to the theme like these photos. Therefore i am going to have my model in headphones so the genre of music is easily identified.

For my photo I want to use a long shot like this, i feel that it will get all of my models body in which is something I want. In that contents page the models facial expressions look very connected to the type of musician he is. The props that have been used are very simple, just a chair a guitar and a microphone. This is was represents him and portrays what sort of character he is. Therefore i want to create a more seductive look for my model, this is because DJ/Dance/House music is often related to Ibiza and other club places, in Ibiza bikinis and other skimpy clothing tends to be worn, therefore if this is how I dress my model it will instantly become clearer which genre I have done. 

Photos I want to use

As you can see the photos that i have researched into all of the models are in revealing clothing. This is something that I am going to tone down, however I like the photos with the headphones in. 

This picture is the guideline that i want to use when taking my pictures for my contents page. However i feel this positioning too seductive, therefore I am going to make my model stand up against a wall like this with one foot on the ground. I want my model to wear heels and also wear headphones. 

This position will fill up most of the contents page as it is a larger picture. I am going to use a long shot for this image to make sure I get all of the model in.
