Photo plan

For the front cover of my magazine, I am aiming to have a shot of a model against a white background. This model, will be the main artist for my Blues & Soul magazine, so they will be the main focus of it. In the front cover, I will have my model posed against the background and looking straight into the camera. This will seem as if they are challenging the reader/buyers of the magazine to buy the magazine.

For the 4 images on the contents page, I will have a variety of different shots of the models. 

• The model in a different location (preferably outside a bar or besides a canal)
• The model in a studio recording
• The model facing the camera
• Long shot image of the model

For my double page spread, I will have my model leaning against the camera frame. The background for this image will also be white. On this page, will be the interview between myself and the artist/model in which I will ask them questions about their career etc..  

The lighting for the front cover will be front lit, as the models will be facing the camera. I will also have lights shining from different angles of the shot so that the lighting will be even. For the double page spread, there will be a light facing the front of the magazine, but will be side lit as the model will be facing the side of the camera, not directly at it.
