1. Magazine Model Poses and
Planned Photoshoot Research
By Evie Theodore

2. Models Poses
Model: Arlenis Sosa.
The camera angle is a long shot as it
includes most of her body.
The model has her hands on her hips.
She is looking directly into the camera.
Her facial expression is a mix between
smiling and caught off guard to give
the illusion that the model is unnerved
by the camera and is confident.
This pose is effective as she is able to
displaying the clothing appropriately.
Model: Jourdan Dunn
This is a low angle shot as the model
appears slightly higher than the camera.
The picture is in black and white which is a
good effect as it seems old like its from a
different time and helps the masthead
stand out.
The model is pulling a face with her
tongue out which shows by her facial
expression that she is having fun and is
not being serious. This can be supporsten
by her pose as she hold the prop of the
iphone as she takes a selfie which shows
she is having fun or making a moment.
Model: Rick Genest
This is a head shot. The model is
looking away, giving a more
natural pose in comparison to
looking straight at the camera.
This angle and his neutral helps
to display his tattoos which is
the main focus point which
means it is effective. If he were
smiling then the tattoos on his
lips wouldn’t be visible or
perhaps not displayed in the
way the photographer wanted.
Model: Cara Delevigne
This is another head shot. The
model is pulling a face which is
supposed to be aggressive but
as a joke for readers. This can
be supported by her hair style
and the prop of the mouse ears
and bow as it contrasts with
her facial expression. This pose
is effective as the reader will
naturally focus on her facial
expression which matches the
tattoo on her hand she has
clenched into a fist, of a lion to
also support the aggressive
look.
Model: Twiggy
This is a model from the 80’s. A high angle shot is used as the camera is higher than the subject. The picture has been
changed into colour to make it seem more modern. The pose is effective as it makes her seem casual and displays her entire
body and outfit which highlights that she is in typical 80’s fashion.
Her facial expression is neutral as it is not happy or sad and she is not smiling or frowning . This helps to give the impression
that the pose is natural as she isn't trying hard to be overly happy.

3. Planned Photoshoot
Model: Kristen Bell
Mise en scene: The location is a room within a house. There are
flowers placed around the room, The colours are yellow and pink
which help to brighten up the room as the lighting in the
background is quite dim. Similarly the white chair has been
chosen also for this reason as it brings attention to the model in
the room and makes her the focus point. Her purple dress has
been chosen as it is purple with a black pattern, making it a blend
of a deep purple and a darker colour, helping her stand out
against the chair and the flowers next to her. The cupboard in the
background supports the other objects, giving the room a
vintage/rustic image, making it appear even more like an old
home.
Angle: It seems as though this is a high angle shot as the camera
seems higher than the subject. The level of the floor also makes
it appear that the subject is lower than the camera as it looks like
it is uneven and slanted.
