'You're beautiful'

As a part of my final major project I decided to do something different and exciting. I created series called 'You're beautiful'. It includes photos of people before and after I've told them that they are beautiful. I think it was a good idea because it shows how people react to certain things in such different ways. I really like how the photos came out and I'm sure I will continue these series in the future.
I've taken all of the photos in the studio, using high key lighting. I used a soft box only because I wanted my photos to come out soft and delicate so they would look better in black and white after I edited them.

This is one of my other images, not from 'you're beautiful' series but an additional one I did to see what it would look like.

magazine research

This magazine cover looks retro. It means it relates to the styles and fashion from the past but some of the things are still quite fashionable nowadays.
The cover is aimed at teenagers, aged 15-19, mainly females with a good income.
The title is big and visible in nice, girly colours, same as the headline.
The cover is just one, big photograph with one person in it. The photo is probably taken on location. They've used high key, hard lighting.
The design is similar to what I would like to achieve but my idea is to do it in the studio, not on location.
