Original picture and time cover side by side

More context from Mediabistro:

Legendary street artist Shepard Fairey designed the “Person of the Year” cover of TIME magazine, but he had some help. The image of the protester was based on a picture taken by local photojournalist Ted Soqui. Unlike the Obama poster debacle, ths photo was fully licensed for use in Fairey’s artwork.

The woman is Sarah Mason, an L.A. (Highland Park) resident who was arrested in the Occupy LA raid.
