Planning: Pre-production work

Photoshoot Plan/ideas
For my photoshoot I plan to use my friend Sarah as the model for my magazine, getting her to pose in
positions and angles holding a guitar, posing as a rock musician.
To pull off the look Im going to ask my friend klaudi to do Sarahs make-up as she specialises in doing
make-up and hair in college.
The make-up should be rock themed, therefore Im looking for a dark and nude shade of make-up that
emphasizes the facial features, yet not too much that it she looks like a shes posing for a gothic, heavy
metal magazine.
For inspiration I looked up some images to show my friend klaudi how Id like Sarahs make up to be done.

Lighting
Artificial lighting
The reason Im using artificial lighting it to create a spot light for my model
to stand out and highlight the features of her aspects and to brighten the
photo of her posing, so that it creates a dark and alternative atmosphere
surrounded by the black background.

Interested poses
Poses I`m thinking of using for the front cover image
For my front cover image I`m going to take a series of photos of my participant model from the
mid-section up, as well as take some close-ups of them looking directly at the camera holding a
guitar.

Contents page
Here are some poses that Im going to have my model pose for, which will go towards my contents
page
I chose these poses because when they`re taken as a portrait they leave a good amount of space for
decoration, images and contents for the magazine.

Double page spread

For the double page spread Im going to take landscape photos and a portrait of portrait
photo. I plan to use the landscape image to fill the background of the double spread page
whereas the portrait image will be use as the focal image for the interview.
Here are some images of people posing with guitars that Im interested in reproducing
using my model.
