Cover model photos - selecting the appropriate shots

Out of all of the photos I have taken, a few stood out to me. though a couple of them are slightly blurred, this will be fixed in post processing, along with any red eye that has occurred and other imperfections such as skin imperfections. The photos that I will use on my music magazine are:

I have chosen these photos due to their different poses and styles, with the first one being of a slightly darker/more contrasted photo. This allows for slightly different colour pallets to be used on the different pages, allowing the cover to be bright and stand out while the double page spread can have more of a gold-like focus, as a large amount of classical magazines have. I have edited these photos to the best of my ability to remove blur and imperfections, and they will be the ones used.

Cover Model Photos

For my cover model, I used the same as I did for the college magazine, as I knew that that model had the props I needed and played a classical instrument, making her the perfect model for my front cover and double page spread. I asked her to bring a gold trombone and a golden dress, as both of these are conventional for the genre and are both commonly used colours in classical magazines. I have taken 13 photos, and only 2 will be used on the magazine. One will be used for the cover of the magazine, and needs to be taken portrait so that it will fit correctly. The other will be used on the double page spread, and therefore needs to be a landscape photo to fit over the two pages. I may use a third photo on the contents page, but i am undecided on this at the moment.
