Research and Planning: Model Head Shots

In this blog I'm going to test different people out taking head shots of them.

  I won't be using this model. This is because, the hairstyle she has and the way she looks makes her look like someone you would see in a pop magazine.

I won't be using this model either, the clothes she wears are very bright which contrasts with the colours in a rock magazine.

 I won't be using this model. This is because he doesn't fit in with the type of magazine I'm doing.

I will not be using this model. This is because she looks like she would be found in a Indie or Pop magazine.

 I may use this model. This is because the darkness of her eyes make her stand out which is similar to the research I did of different artists and bands. She also has two piercings which makes her have a more rocky feel to her. Also if she was holding a guitar she would look very comfortable on stage.

 This model is too old for my target audience. I like the colours she's wearing though as its similar to rock artists clothing.

I won't be using this model because he looks too sporty to be put into a rock magazine. In this image he also looks like you'd find him in a dance magazine, especially if he wore different clothing

This is a good model for a rock magazine but in this image he doesn't look dark enough. On the other hand; I may decide to use him.

I like this image. I may use this model but I would have to ask him to wear something darker as the checkered shirt makes him look quite indie looking.

I wont be using this model. From his hairsyle and face he reminds me of someone I would see in a country magazine with a guitar in the countryside.

This model is too brightly dressed in this image. She looks like she would appear in a pop magazine because of the pink and white clothes and the pose she is doing. Overall; she looks very fashionable which is the complete opposite effect that I want the audience to think when they see my artists and bands.

I quite like these two images. Mainly because the model I have used is good. The clothing he is wearing is quite dark so I can imagine that it will work putting him in black. His hairstyle is unusal and something you would imagine in a punk/rock band. Also the pose he is doing works with his image.

I am going to use this model because she just has her own style and she looks ideal to portray a rock singer. The colours she is wearing go well with her overall image. 

I love this image. She looks really vulnerable in this photo and I personally think it comes over really well! But from knowing this model and seeing what she wears day to day, I also think she will look really good dressed up portraying the rock artist look. I will use this model as my main cover model and also include her on my double page spread.

I like the thought of using this model because she has a good face for a rock magazine. Her eyes stand out because of her bold eyeliner which adds to the rock image which I like!! I think I will use this model on my contents page.
