Finding an image of a similar posture was quite tricky. However this magazine cover of Miley Cyrus is quite similar but still very much different obviously due to the gender differences. My image is a mid shot shown looking away from the camera. This shot type intrigues the audience as to where the model is looking and what they're doing with their head positioned facing to the side. The image I have taken off the internet is more open and suggests a calm atmosphere as if trying to set the tone for the magazine. The image also shows Miley Cyrus' head being viewed from the side whereas my picture is being viewed straight on and my model is turning his head to the side. These postures go against the stereotypical face-on magazine cover pose and therefore represents the mysteriousness and unpredictability of the two.
The angle the images have been taken at are slightly different, mine from the front and the other from the side. This keeps the audience interested and is also shows off more of their head. It also suggest an inequality between the artist and audience suggesting their superiority and therefore their talent that has got them onto the front page. The lighting of the images is mainly to brighten up their faces and add a glow. Which signifies how they shine in their particular field, showing their fame like they're under a spotlight.
The costume in both of the images is obviously very different due to my model being a male and Miley Cyrus being a female. My model is wearing a black t-shirt with a printed design on it, this makes the picture informal and slightly trendy. As for the other image, Miley Cyrus is wearing a classier pink top which adds a classier edge to the cover and represents the genre of the magazine. The costume also adds a formality when included with their posture. Finally the position in which the images are placed - towards the middle - suggests an intention to make sure they're the centre of the whole magazine.
