I saw this cover today when I was at Equinox. I thought it reminded me of something, then I figured it out.
I had shot something similar to this in 2004 for Zink Magazine, a double page spread with different clothing of course etc, shot in my livingroom, styled by me and the makeup artist. Remarkably there is a resemblance, 7 years later, to this celebrity cover which probably had a nice budget. I still like mine better.
Ashley Greene is trying too hard – she looks stunned. The model in mine is relaxed and confident.

BlackBook Magazine by Dean Isidro

Zink Magazine by Peter Koval 2004
Model: Kat Fonseca
Makeup: Robert Greene (no relation to Ashley Greene on Blackbook)
Shot in my livingroom. Budget: Less than $100.
My guess BlackBook’s cover was shot in a prime studio. Budget: Probably over $5000.
