Poses which appeal to me

i like this magazine cover mainly because of the pose on the front. This pose looks very jovial and informal, implying that the band member is genuine and down-to-earth, which is something i'm considering my model to look like. However if i were to get my model to re-enact this pose, i would ensure that he was not topless. I would prefer him to be wearing either a dark band t-shirt or a black leather jacket.

This magazine also appeals to me. I like the mid-close up shot and i think it would look good to have my model pull a face like this. Even if i don't have a head and shoulders shot; if it was full body, i would still like him to pull an informal face similar to this one. It gives the reader/viewer an impression that the band/artist are not stuck up, unlike some (stereotypical) pop stars, which would appeal to my target audience. This photo looks almost as if the model is snarling, which is something i want my model to do, however my model will look slightly more serious in order to appear threatening, as opposed to Robbie Williams on this photo who appears quite excited.
