Magazine Fashion - more images from different magazines

What I really admire with photo's such as these, is the harsh editing, the brightness and contrast. A deviation of this would be the photo with the floral background, it's plain, has a 'vintage' look but is still had a lot of editing and still looks interesting to look at, it looks pretty and has a sense of innocence about it. Obviously all these photos are selling clothes and outfits, what the photographer needs to think about is the models pose. I think there definitly is a difference in the models and poses between highstreet and upmarket fashion. For example the picture thats advertising Topshop clothes shows the model looking happy, it seems like a fun advert and this has connotations of their clothes being fun and experimental. But with the upmarket photos the models tend to have a more grumpy, plain look on their face, this is because they've already got their audience and the models in those photos seem to be looking down on their audience.

The Times Style Magazine

I've started to look at magazine fashion, I've looked at the pullout magazine from the Times on Sunday, and found lots of interesting fashionable images. The reason why I like the images from this magazine is because they're eccentric, fun, colourful and in each edition there is never a similar image compared to the edition before. All the images from the magazine look heavily edited. There is use of harsh lighting, airbrushing, this is all done to make the models look as perfect and pretty as they can, the colours are also bought out in the clothes and that acts as a selling point for when it comes to selling the clothes. The unique selling point of this magazine is their individual unique ideas to when it comes to present the models, and that is a similar style that I would like to follow.

Edited photos

I've started to look at magazine fashion shoots, I like the different settings (scrapyards, fields, farms etc) with a complete contrast with the models, so them wearing high heels, full faces of makeup and obviously fashionable outfits. I took some pictures in the sun the other day just to get an idea of the type of fashion shots I wanted to achieve. I think they have a sense of innocence in some of the photos, just because of the weather, the setting, and also the way the breeze has blew their hair. But they also have a sense of rebellion as they have 'moody' facial expressions and in some of them their smoking. I overlapped two of the photos because I found photos like that in a topshop magazine, I thought it would be interesting to try it out and see the outcome that it had. I put my sunglasses in front of the camera lense to see what kind of effect that it would have on my image, it gives the image a sepia look, I also think it makes the photo have a vintage 70's look.
