The photographer took test shots of a 17-year-old model against a white background for easy Photoshop editing. The model will be featured on the magazine cover as part of a band that will have additional photos inside. The photographer tried various close-up shots and favors the last one showing half the model's face to attract attention to the eye. The photos will be edited in Photoshop to match the magazine's color scheme.

1. Cover Test Shots:Model: AbbieFlittonPhotographer: Jess Pardoe

16. I took these photos against a white background to make it smoother to Photoshop edit on. My model is a typical 17 year old girl, she will be featured on my front cover however she’s part of a “band” that I will include more photos of on the inside of my magazine. I tried a variety of shots, mostly close-up as that was my original idea for the cover photo. The last one (on this page) is one of my favourites, I like the idea of half a face and believe it attracts most attention to the eye, which was the idea. I will change some of the colours on the photos using Photoshop to allow my colour scheme to fit in with the images of my final product. However as these are simply test shots I will use inspiration from these to take a few more if I am still unsure.
