Research and Planning: Pose Research. (Extra Post.)

What I've noticed from many other rock magazines such as Kerrang, are that the artists poses are much more open in comparison to other magazine covers. They seem to appear intimidating and edgy to some extent, and are very confident with themselves, in terms of their body language.


In a way, I've noticed that the lead singers/most significant band members have a slight high angle shot, which makes their appearance seem much more ‘in your face’. It doesn't seem subtle, friendly or even relaxed. Instead, it seems very energetic and even threatening, and that is what is going to inspire how I shoot photos of my models to match this theme.


The lead singers and most important members of a group are always presented closest to the camera, which is what I'll do in the photoshoot for my duo group. There's also much more open body language here, too. The arms are by the sides, presenting the artists as outgoing and easy to approach, and their expressions even look mischievous to some degree.
