Why did I choose the people I did?

The two people I chose had to be good looking as this is the main image on the magazine front cover. The reader needs to be attracted to the magazine, therefore putting unpleasant people on the front cover will more than likely put them off buying the magazine. I suppose you could call it ‘eye candy’ but to a less extent. I think the two models I chose represented all of the criteria above, therefore making my front cover eye-catching to the reader.

Make-up

In any professional photo you see in a magazine or any other publication like that, the models will always be wearing makeup. The amount of makeup depends on the situation the picture is supposed to represent. In this case they are two celebrities attending an awards event. The picture had to look glamorous yet real. The models had to a use makeup that they would use on a ‘posh’ night out. I think they listened to my instructions well and the makeup looked glamour's yet it still looked real as if they where in that situation.

Clothes

I wanted the two models to compliment each other with the colours and styles that they where going to wear. I didn’t want one model to stand out more that the other. I asked if they could wear a dress that they would be comfortable going to a big event in. I also asked if one could wear a red dress and the other could wear a black. They stuck exactly to my specifications and I think the pictures turned out great. As the magazine had a turquoise theme to it I had to ask one of them to bring an accessory that I could then photo shop to the exact colour I wanted.

Pictures that where not chosen.

As you can see this picture is far to blurry to even consider. If this picture had not have been blurry I think this would have been the one.

Pictures that where not chosen.

I had chosen a close up angle in this picture which I then realised wouldn’t go onto my magazine properly. I needed more of a full body shot than a close up. I also think that this picture is too dark although a few Photoshop tweaks would change that. I also think that the models look like they are being forced next to each other and I want the picture to look natural.

Pictures that where not chosen.

As I was failing to get a perfect picture I tried to take a picture of the models individually and them Photoshop them together later on. I did try this but the angles in which the photo’s where taken meant it looked obvious they where not in the same picture.

I then tried to take a picture in a room with more light but the camera I was using didn’t have the settings to change the exposure which meant the picture was too bright. If it wasn’t for the dress’s the two models would more or less have blended into the white background.

Picture I did choose.This is the picture that I though was perfect and would fit in well on my front cover. The two models look great in this picture and they both have the facial expressions and body language I was looking for. They both look very confidant and they are close together as if they where best friends. The story that continues inside of the newspaper from this picture explains how close they are which is why I wanted to put across that in this picture. However there are still some issues that need changing in this picture as the lighting isn't how I would like it. This picture is taken inside, yet the background on the magazine is outside. I will need to use the lighting effects on Photoshop to amend this.
