Photo's for magazine

Recently i went out and took photo's for my magazine, however these photo's did not go to plan with a number of factors having a major influence on them. To start with the lighting was not correct meaning that it did not work with the plain black background. Furthermore there was some reflections that were captured within the glasses making it look UN-professional. So in order to improve my photo's i am going out again with a plan and better ideas in order to create some appealing and clear cut photo's.
