First, I decided on something to photograph and when I figured it out I took 12 photos of it. 4 across the top, middle, and bottom so that I can get a good span of the area. Then I went into photoshop and resized each image with the same proportions and aligned them as best I could so that it would look like the original photograph. Remember I would overlay them, not just put them next to each other.

I chose TIME magazine because it's the most famous and iconic magazine that I know of. I made Chris pose in a position that makes him look like the man because that's what the magazine does. They usually have a title of person of the year or most influential people. I didn't do anything special with the font style or color so I just did white & black. I had Chris sit down on a pedestal and look up with his arms crossed over to make him look more important. A strobe light is a powerful flash that is synced to the camera so that it strobes when the shutter is released. You would use it to provide strong studio lighting, and it would be paired with other sources of light. A modeling light is a secondary light source in a studio shoot that allows for a balance in lighting to eliminate shadows and create even exposure. It would be used with a strobe light, generally placed on the opposite side of the subject in order to balance the light. A soft box is a cover placed over a strobe light and guide the light. It is used to channel the light from the strobe and soften it so that the resulting light is diffused cleanly. It also directs the light straight to the subject. A reflector is a flat panel of varying shapes and sizes, but usually circular. They can be either white, silvery, or gold. They are used to reflect light from the light source in order to eliminate shadows or create even and balanced lighting. A grey card is a physical panel with a white, gray, and black strip that is held by the subject in test photos. It is used to allow the photographer to find the perfect exposure so that the gray on the photograph perfectly matches the gray on the real panel. A radio trigger system is a system of transmitters that are attached to the camera and any light sources, especially strobe lights. It is used to allow for wireless connectivity between the camera and light sources so that the flash from the lights is synced to the shutter release in the camera, and it allows the photographer to be more mobile due to the lack of a cord.
