Inspiration for Poses

The picture below inspired me because of the black and white theme of the clothes and the way the model is staued as she has her hand on her hip leaning partly forward but also pulling her shoulder back. She is using her arm to lean on a chain giving a more strong effect on the picture, this allows shape to her pose as on side of her is closer to the camera and the other side is further away, however if she kept both arms straight and at the same angel this style wouldnt work. Her arm looks like it is in a triangle shape with her head tilting forward more as well as to the side where her arm is this makes a constant line up along the arm to her head. This has inspired me to create this shape in my models poses and prehaps use other initals and lining such as the

use of a 's' shape.

I love this photo because the model is looking straight at the camera in the photo. The way her mouth is slightly open inspires me to use this pose as it give a powerful look however on the other hand it also makes her look innocent and vunerable, almost like there are two poses in one. By using strong but not noticable make-up it also darkens the eyes and almost makes them more meaning full and deep to look into and as she is looking straight at the camera she makes the photograph seem more personal towards the viewer. It makes the photo look very vibrant but without colour and energetic as her hair is moving, as i have a single model as well i think this would work very well with my magazine as it gives more personality to someone just being alone. As we dont see the rest of her body it is very important that the face pose is strong and eye catching.

 

For my next picture, I decided to analyse a photo of a model sitting down as in my sample photos i asked the model in a few photos to sit down. I think this looks like a really good look as it encloses the whole photo into a small but effective pose, also it means that the model can be wearing more revealing clothes but however can still look decent and covered up by using her for example in this photo legs and arms. She has her hand faintly touching her fore head, by doing this it gives an elegant effect to the photo. Also the smile on her face brightens the photo up through the mood. The shape of her body gives a curled up innocent look, by the way that she is facing the camera but with her body facing the complete other way it also gives a vunerable effect. I think this would be a very original pose to use for one of my models. 

This is one of my own sample pictures that i may use because it is patentially my favourite, i love the way the model is looking stright past the camera and the flash off the camera lights up her face however her eyes and moth stand out amoung the rest. She is standing straight on but it is the camera which is placed to the side of her. By placing her arms out i thought it gave a strong approach by having her hands against each wall. She is tilting her head slightly forward making it just a little closer to the camera compared to the rest of her. With her hair i decided to place a little over her face to give a messy look, by doing this is make it look more modern and not as formal. This is a mid- shot slightly close up but that can be down to her being tilted forward to the camera.
