I believe the photo of my model and the photo of the model on NME's front cover bare some similarities but, however are quite different. The main difference being which page they're situated on, my photo (on the left) is on my contents page and is in this position as I wanted a picture in which I could write a short segment from the story above on my contents page. Whereas the photograph on the right is on the front cover and therefore tells us the main story in this magazine is probably about him, the other stories on this front cover are smaller and are fitted around the shape of the models face. My stories, however, are all down one side but both mine and NME's stories are on top of the photo of the model and aren't fitted around the face. The hair style of my model and NME's model are also similar, long brown and brushed over to the same side. This long, messy hair adds a rugged and more realistic look as appose to a staged and un-natural look of short, styled hair. The close up of the faces is another similarity between the two photographs, I chose a close up to ensure the reader sees the models laid back and relaxed facial expression, and by the facial expression of NME's model they've used a close-up to emphasise his facial expression also. Another similarity is the purple T-shirt they've both got on, even though you can only see the top, the T-shirt makes them both look relaxed and as-if they haven't made much effort for the photoshoot, this is the look I was going for when taking the photographs for my magazine.
