GQ
"The World's 50 Greatest Living Athletes," November 2017

Fred Woodward, Designer
Pari Dukovic, Photographer

"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)."
This portrait of Lebron James is a formal portrait. It is my favorite because the picture presents Lebron as the “King” of basketball. Not only is Lebron wearing a golden leaf crown, but his face is shining because of the golden light which makes him seem like a “heavenly king”. This communicates Lebron James as a very valuable, worthy, hard working player because he became so great at basketball that he deserved to be crowned king. I like the thought put into the setting to make him seem like a king because Lebron is one of the greatest basketball players of all time and he deserves to have one of the biggest and most ‘king-like’ names in basketball.

Critiquing Another Photographer's Academic Shoot

-
https://laurasphoto1.blogspot.com/2018/09/academic-shoot.html I chose to look at Laura's photos! Positive Feedback: 1. I like how Laura captures her rule of thirds picture. The boy has a slight smile on his face and the background includes good contrasting colors. 2. I like how in Laura's photo with the rule of lines the ceiling's lines lead to the girl working on her assignment. The lines on the locker also lead to the subject's paper! Improvements: 1. I think in her avoiding merger picture she could avoid having a merger by capturing the photo at a different angle. Instead of straight on, the camera could be looking down or up at the boy working on a paper.

Merger Photo

1. The photo looks curved which can be un realistic. And we don't want unrealistic photos!!! 2. I think the football field by the track because there is a huge field with a big sky and a lot of trees, grass and open land for depth. 3. I can hold a different pose in each picture with a volleyball. In one I can set, in one I can hit, in one I can pass and in the last two I can hold the volleyball in two different poses(staying still with he ball In my hand or on my hip). 4. I could wear my volleyball uniform and put my hair up!

When I woke up, this adorable pup named Ginger licked me! Next, I played with the other pup who came after, Jax! Next, I went to Brown Santa and Wrapped gifts. Next, I used my sunglasses to take a 'mirror selfie'. Next, I wrote poems about my favorite people in my notebook. Then, I played guitar and sang my favorite songs. Then, I went to the Varsity basketball game! Then, I got home and lit my favorite candle. Then, I helped my parents make the cranberries for Thanksgiving. Lastly, I lit the fire and watched a movie and fell asleep!
