I have carried out some extra photo research so that I have a general idea of what kind of pose/look/style I want my model to portray when I am photographing them. This will give me a starting point of ideas that I will later advance and develop making them my own. It will also help my model as it will give them a visual idea of what I'm looking for and hopefully will allow them to successfully create the persona I want them to illustrate.
This is the type of mood and feeling I want my photographs to portray; a very serious, effortless, cool style. However, the clothing is something I wouldn't consider on my model, as this is very much so country/folk and the type of magazine I am doing is an Alternative/Indie magazine therefore, would not suit - I may consider getting some research on clothing I may consider to be on my model. The black and white photo is something I will most definitely use however, perhaps have a slight grain on it to make it look slightly old fashioned and unique. Nevertheless, I will aim to have the model being extremely clear in the foreground and the background to be very blurred. The setting of being in a field and outside is something I definitely want to use as, natural light is the best possible light available, opposed to using artificial light. However, I will have to make sure the weather is acceptable for taking the photo as the sun would at as a natural main light to lighting up one side of the face and creating shadow. This mid shot is a shot that I would use on my double page spread inside the magazine, not necessarily the front page. As I want the front page image to be powerful and striking and for the model to be looking directly into the camera, I do not want it to be off set like this image. Despite this not being the type of angle and shot I would want on my front cover it is something I would consider to insert onto my double page spread.
This image comes across as very powerful as the way the camera is angled from a worms eye view, gives the perception that the model appears bigger than he is and is more powerful than the camera. I may use this technique either looking down onto my model or angling the camera up like this as it also creates a natural background, as it will either have the sky or the ground as the complete background. Again this uses a black and white however, it is a lot darker than I would like my photo's to be. It could have been due to lack of light and where the model has been positioned therefore, creating the very dark shadow underneath the chin, along the neck and the eyes, however, where the light has been positioned it highlights the models chin an extortionate amount, defining the bone structure, a feature that should be considered when photographing.
The image to the left is an example of the type of clothing I would perhaps dress my model in, a very clean cut, simple style. However, I'm not too sure about the tie and braces, nevertheless, I would like to try and use a hat in some photos and for my model to wear straight trousers, a shirt and a jacket. This look will enable all the concentration to be on the model's face and the emotion they are trying to convey, the simplicity of the clothing won't draw attention but will create the indie look I want to create.

I like this body of research. Can you ensure that next time you present information you use a different method; ie use a sound recording, a poweropint show or the like.
