I chose to do Rolling Stone magazine because I'm very fascinated with their work and enjoy the truth that their articles bring out of people. It is a common magazine that artists respect and often share their personal stories to the company. Often, Rolling Stone magazine chooses images that lead to what the story of the artist is about. For my photo, I wanted to show how Clare is a very nice and always happy person, so when I took the photo of her smiling and changed it to black and white, her smile stood out greatly.
The covers are also commonly close to the person's face, so I did this by taking a picture close to her upper body. For the name of the magazine I used a label I found on google, but in Photoshop I chose the font I used because it was very similar to the one they use in their magazines and also made the picture look to be in a different time era with the swirly letters. I chose white font because I wanted the main focal point to be Clare. I created the image by having Clare sit on a stool and laugh. I used the grey backdrop as my background. A strobe light is a light that is used to produce regular flashes of light. I used tis through a cord that connected to my camera to the lights, and when i clicked to take a picture (pressed on the shutter), the light would trigger. I usd this when I wanted an image with lighting in a certain place in my picture. Modeling light is a light built into a flash unit that remains on while the flash is turned on when the photographer isn't taking a photo, allowing the photographer to assess highlight and shadow areas that will be made when exposing the subject to the brighter light of the flash.A softbox is a light modifier. A softbox diffuses the light into a pleasing soft, even light, so harsh shadows won't be so harsh. I would use a soft box when I want to emulate window light. A reflector is a piece of reflective material to bounce light in a certain direction. This is used to distribute light where it is not naturally or originally placed. You use it by capturing the light onto the material and moving the reflector in the direction of the subject so the light bounces in that direction. A grey card is a card with grey, black, and white colors on it. It is used to find the correct exposure for an image. A radio trigger is a small radio unit normally mounted on the camera hot shoe. A small receiver unit is also mounted on the off-camera flash. The radio trigger saves having the camera and flash connected by long wires. I would use it to have full mobility when taking a picture and to not worry about tripping over/ destroying cords.
