Photo Research

Initial Magazine Research

As you can see from the photos, there is no main common concept for what type of image is used. There is a variety, from 1 larger photo, or a collage of a few photos. I think that what I am going to do is incorporate 2 larger images. These will be on separate pages, they will link however they will be different shots and my model will look different, this is because I feel that the reader needs to get a feel of the models capability and in most magazines that I have researched if they have 2 larger images in the double page spread the model tends to have changed clothes and look different. I may also include smaller pictures in the page, however these may not be on the model, just things that relate to the story, for example a picture of a festival she has recently played at. I am going to have my model in headphones with her DJ decks, this is because I feel it is something that will make her easily identifiable and this is something that you can see in the bottom left image.

Photos That I Want to Copy

As you can see all of these models are doing similar poses. All of them have DJ decks in the picture, I like this as there is no doubting what they are doing. As well as this they all have the headphones on, both of these things are something I am going to make sure I have in at least one of my pictures. I prefer the darker backgrounds, this is because there is more focus on the model than what is going on in the background. Most of them are wearing revealing clothes, this is also something that I want to use in my image, this is because my target market is for 18 and over, therefore it is suitable, as well as this it is evident that sex sells, especially to the age group I am focussing on, I am not going to have her in something too revealing as that is inappropriate, however just something that look suitable to the genre.
