"When the World's Greatest Living Athlete is also an off-the-court phenom in business, in movies, and increasingly in politics, the time allotted for a photo shoot is limited (it was 45-minutes from the frame to the last). But photographer Pari Dukovic nevertheless captured LeBron James in a timeless, almost deified image that shows the strength, fierceness, and regal nature of GQ’s November cover subject. One worthy of blowing up and framing like a piece of art (which we did)." The picture is of Lebron James dressed as if he was a king since his nickname is The King. What I really like about this photo is the colors in the background. The choice of gold and black fits the picture perfectly. The gold mixes in with his skin color and then the shadow cast with his beard makes a good transition into the black. The gold crown on his helmet is around black emphasizing it and bringing it back to the gold at the bottom.  What is communicated in this picture is that...

A) The most powerful picture for me was the one with him and his squadron behind the old rusted car because it shows just how bad the conditions were there and what he had to go through. B) The images work together to tell a story because of the way its put together, it shows it chronologically and allows the viewer to see what went down with him without even having to read the article. C) The captions enhance the photograph by telling us what is occurring and some backstory to it. D) The story of Ian fisher is that he enlisted in the army and he quickly wanted to leave the army but he couldn't so he stayed. he engaged but then broke up with his current girlfriend.

3 Tips 1. Take a Series of Shots Switch your camera into ‘burst’ or ‘continuous shooting’ mode and fire off more than one shot at a time. In doing this you create a series of images that could be presented together instead of just one static image. This technique can work very well when you’re photographing children – or really any active subject that is changing their position or pose in quick succession. 2. Frame Your Subject Framing is a technique where by you draw attention to one element of an image by framing it with another element of the image. 3. Experiment with Subject Expressions In some portraits it is the expression on the face of your subject that makes the image. Get your subject to experiment with different moods and emotions in your image. Play with extreme emotions Environmental Pictures- I really like these photos because its two very different pictures showcasing different environments Photography Self Portrait- I like these because they ...
