Front Cover - Photoshoot

Here are the photos I took. There are a couple of hundred shots because I wanted to make sure I definately had a choice of great photos to work with.







I then went through all of the photos I had taken and picked out my favourites. I chose the ones where I thought the pose looked good, the picture was central, the lighting was correct and the ones that generally looked like they could be in a music magazine. Here were my favourites:





I then chose one photo which I decided to use for my front page and then I edited it which will be shown on my final magazine front cover.

Before Editing


















After Editing

The changes I made to my original image using photoshop were:
- To erase any imperfection on her skin using the spot healing tool
- To make the background a pure white colour because this is going to be the background of the magazine
- To define her facial features, by adding some more lashes, thicker eyeliner, a design on her cheekbone, to highlight her cheekbones more, to define her lips and her eyebrows too
- To remove some of the stray hairs around her head because her hair is currently quite messy
- To play around with the contrast, saturation and colours of the photo to give in a nice bold finish
- I used the drawing tool to create a decorative feature for just under her eye.
