These are some photos that I liked, taken from real magazines. The first 3 images were from Topshop's free magazine which features a lot of female models. This is useful for my project as I have made up female artists and would like to represent them in a similar way.
This is a medium close up picture of a lady wearing a cap with dark lipstick which stands out and looks attractive. I chose this picture because the model is looking straight into the camera and this makes the viewer feel that she has a serious attitude which is important for music artists who want to be taken seriously.
This is a wide angle shot of a lady sitting on a car wearing glasses, a coat, sunglasses and laced shoes. They have used a black and white filter, the effect of this is that she looks glamourous. Her pose is good because she looks like a Hip Hop artist - she looks quite relaxed and like a man.
This is a longshot image of a girl sitting on a stool wearing coloured leggings with a jacket. She is looking into the camera bitting her nail and crossing her leg. This picture is appealing, mostly to women and girls, because they would want to know more about the clothes she is wearing, she looks fashionable.
Having a stool in the shot is interesting because it is different from just allowing the model to stand there and it makes the model look relaxed and calm.
I like this photo of Hip Hop artist, Missy Elliot, because of the way she is dressed. She is wearing camouflage military style clothes, hoop earrings and a chain. In my photos I will use the idea of a model wearing hoop earrings and a chain necklace. Wearing these accessories and hats is quite common for this genre of music.
This is a double page spread from a music magazine discussing the artist - Hyro Da Hero. I like this DPS as the photo of him, the dominant image, makes him stand out and the background seems to show Texas. He is standing on a rail track which makes him seem fearless because he could get hit by a train. The quote next to him connects to this. It says "My goal it to change the world. One day I'm going to make it happen". This makes him look like he's a strong person who's not scared of anything.
