Cover model

A cover model is a male or female whose photograph appears on the front cover of a magazine. The cover model is generally a fashion model, celebrity or contest-winner. Generally cover models are depicted solitarily, however on occasion magazines will present a front cover with multiple cover models.[1] Female cover models are often referred to as cover girls.

Cover models generally take part in a fashion or portrait photography photo shoot for the magazine. When a magazine depicts a candid or stock image for the main cover image, the talent is referred to as the magazine "cover" rather than cover models or cover girls.
