This is a wide shot - its used to get a whole picture of one person. Perhaps this is because the main story in the magazine is about the artist pictured
This is a close up shot- they are usually used, like this one, to capture the expression on the artist's face.
This is a medium close up - they are also used to show the expression of the artist and may also try to show the clothes the artist is wearing. This particular photo is a 'teasing' kind, designed to show the artist off.
This is a close up - it shows the artist's expression. This is one of three popular types of shots that magazines like using.
This is an action shot - it shows the motion of something, like this gig for instance. An action shot is mostly taken, literally, one shot after another.
This is a long shot. Its mostly used to demonstrate the clothes that the artist is wearing. This, for instance, is a shot to show off the artist, as well as promote what she's wearing.
This also is a long shot. Magazines don't tend to use these shots very often.
This is a close up shot. This is one of the main shots magazines use. This one is used to capture the expression of the artist.
This is a mid close up. In this image, its used to make the artist's clothes stand out, as well as his expression.
This is a mid close up also - one of the three main styles magazines tend to use. This is shot to capture the man's glasses and his paint covered shirt.
