This document contains reviews of several photos for use in a music magazine. The photos show models posing with musical instruments or in relaxed positions. Some images would work well as cover photos due to strong eye contact with the camera. Others displaying more casual poses could feature on inside pages like a double-page spread or contents page. Lighting, backgrounds, and outfits were also considered to match the indie genre of the magazine.
