I chose Time magazine because the style they do for their covers is very similar to the shots I took of Nick, I just really like the simplicity. How I emulated their style was to just have a very simple portrait shot of Nick with nothing in the background. The typeface that I used was Baskerville Old Face Regular with a white coloring because in their magazine they have very simple descriptions that focus more on the content than the visuals.
The set up for the shot was to use a grey background and a strobe light to have a photo that had plenty of shadow and light to give a powerful and ominous feeling for the person. A strobe light is a giant light that flashes a bright light when a photo is taken so that the photo has enough lighting, strobe lights are best used indoors in a room that doesn't have enough lighting. A modeling light remains on while the flash is turn on and exposes the photo to a higher exposure of light, you would use a modeling light to focus more attention of the photo on the light areas as well as add highlights to the photo. A soft box is a lighting device that is used to diffuse and create even light by directing light through some diffusing material. A reflector reflects light to redirect light, these are generally used to add more light to a darker area in a photograph. A gray card is a middle gray reference that is typically used to find a consistent exposure. A radio trigger system sends the photos that are taken to your computer instantly so you can see them over there which is helpful for when you need to see your photos on the computer quickly.
