Research + Planning: Pose Research

From looking that these magazines of my genre for pose research I have found that they are all shot from a medium long shot and all of them are looking straight into the camera. I think this is to make it look more intimidating so it easily catches the readers attention and also fits to the genre of music. Also when it is a band shot (which I could choose for my front cover) the main singer is always larger and more in the foreground where as all of the other band members are shown in the background. 

From this I think I will have my model stood front on the the camera and looking straight down the lense.
