My Model

Photography 

Over the holidays I have taken my photos of Ethan I chose the locations of the different photos before i got my model to come. I chose the have a plain background for the portrait photos and then for the double page spread photos I chose to take some on old garages and and old brick wall. This is because it gave an 'indie' feel to the photos so the setting matched my model. These are some of the photos I have taken. I have chose the photo I would like for my front cover however I need to pick some for the contents page and the double page spread. 
Similarly I need to put the photos on Photoshop and edit them removing blemishes and changing the contrast and brightness of the photos. After this then I can see the effect fully and think about putting them on my magazine layout. I think that I am going to leave the photos on the background that they are on because the landscape photos give off the look that I am trying to achieve due to their 'rustic'  background. For the double page spread I am going to have the photo covering the majority of the right hand page and crossing and overlapping onto the left page. That is why I have used a landscape photo so it is long enough to cross over the page.
I asked my model to wear pain yet 'cool' clothing so he follows the image and look that I am trying to put across in my magazine. I told him to wear a baggy T-shit for the profile photos then a different more layered outfit for the double page spread and contents page photos. I chose the positions and poses that he had to do because I wanted to make sure that he followed the style of the magazine!
