The document outlines the creator's ideas for modeling a photoshoot for a pop music magazine. They decided on simple, neutral outfits and a lightly curled hairstyle for the model that is easy to style. For makeup, they chose a gold-focused look with glitter eyeshadow to draw attention in a way that fits the magazine's theme. They also researched portrait and full-body photography styles to inspire poses and shots that represent the genre of music for the magazine.

I decided to go for a
simple outfit with neutral
colours for my model to
wear. This is because these
outfits will look good on
my model and will be
comfortable for my model
to wear. These clothes are
also what a lot of people
own anyway so the model
would already have similar
styles that fit her. The
neutral colours fit with my
theme of being simple and
modern, and smart-casual.

I decided to go for this hair
style as I think it would look
great on my model. I looked
for hairstyles with shorter
hair as I know my model has
this length of hair already. I
chose a lightly curled
hairstyle because it is easy to
replicate and is affective. It
creates a natural look which
is not too over the top and
does not get in the way of
the model. This hairstyle
adds some personality to the
photo and some depth
without it being too much or
too little.

The make-up look I chose for my
model is similar to this on the left. I
chose to use gold as the main
colour of the make-up with hints of
black, pink and brown. I chose to
use gold glitter for the eyes as I aim
to use minimal make-up on the lips
and this makeup will bring the
attention away form the lips to the
eyes. It also draws attention because
of the shine on the glitter, which is
apparent whether the picture is in
colour or black and white. This
make-up look will fit with the theme
of the magazine, and will also fit
with the genre of pop music. This
makeup look is still simple so will
give a focal point for the audience

These are some of the images that I
am inspired by for my magazine. I
have chosen to take some portrait
photos of my model in the style of the
images on the left. I was inspired by
these images because they are simple
and easy to recreate but also give the
impression that I am trying to give of
my model. These images look similar
to what you would expect to see in a
pop music magazine which I am trying
to create. I explored different poses
my model could do and what
directions they can look at to create
certain affects. I also looked at
coloured photos and black and white
photos to explore which would look
best for which pose and what the
affect would be for each. These are

I researched some model
photography to find different
styles that I could use for my
magazine. I looked at images that
showed more of the body than just
the face, as the outfit on the
model also represents the genre of
music for my magazine. I liked the
way the models are positioned in
the camera lens and their poses in
these photos, and wanted to try
and recreate them as much as
possible. Again I looked at what
style of photo is best in what
colour to know for my magazine.
After researching different styles I
chose these six that I would base
my photos off of.
