The document discusses the preparation and photography of a young model for the cover of a classical music magazine. The makeup artist used light foundation and powder to cover blemishes while maintaining a natural schoolgirl look. The model's outfit was elegant yet simple with grey and floral patterns to portray sophistication without appearing too mature for her teenage age. Photographs were taken with a Kodak SZ251 zoom camera, known for its HD quality, in a well-lit area against a plain white background to facilitate editing in Photoshop for the magazine cover.

In terms of the make up, I
didn’t want to go over the top;
this is because she is young and
looks like a school student,
which is what she is, and this is
the look I went for, I used a
foundation suited to her skin
colour and a light brush of
powder over her face, this is
just to cover blemishes, and
the easy to see flaws, other
things can be touched up using
Photoshop.

In terms of the outfit of my model, I had
chosen something quite simple yet
elegant, I went for simple grey colours
and flowery patterns to give it that posh
vibe as she will be on the cover of a
classical music magazine. I didn’t want
to go over the top with the elegance of
the clothes due to the fact she is a very
young student, a teenager, so something
too elegant will make her look too old
for her age, school girl, young talent
was the look I was going for.

The camera that I had used was a Kodak SZ251
with a 52x zoom. A very good camera with some
fantastic features such as the HD quality zoom. A
camera well used by professionals and students
like myself.

In terms of taking the pictures, I
had chosen a well lit area and a
plain white background to take my
pictures, the reason why I had
done this was due to the fact that
the lighting would help enhance
the pictures quality and the plain
background would make it easy for
me to edit once I begin to use the
pictures on Photoshop for my
magazine.
