Ethics in Fashion Photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
They made her neck skinnyer and longer. They made her lips bigger and her eyes. And they made her seem like she glowed more then what she really is. And they make her head look kinda smaller.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not? No because its not the real person. And many people will believe that they are but they really aint. You just cant change a person how they look it just isnt right. And so many stupid people change the way they look and spend so much money to make themselves look worst. They are who they are and they shouldnt change they way they look to "fit in"!

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Because many people espacially the women just follow what they see. Many people are hurt cause of the way they look compared to all the ads and commercials that are put into our lives every day. Many people try to become what they're not and cause many problems. And they forget who they really are and just think if they look like the people on t.v or billboards that they will fit in. Many of these people just cant handle the way they look that it causes problems with friends, friends,amd themselves. It can accure to many problems causing endings that are well. (JUST EVIL EVERYWHERE)

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
To me you shouldnt really change anything. You shouldnt change to look like a celebraty you shouldnt change just to attract the opposite sex. You shoudnt even do it all.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. Fashion shows what every one is in to or should be into. And photoj just shows the truth, there isnt really many changes. But fashion photography only shows a pacific group and changes many things to pursway people into their power!!!(EVIL PEOPLE)

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

Because art is everywhere as photography is everywhere. It just realates to everything. Cant really explain it but it just does.

My First Print


Everything seems to be in focus. Except for the right end of the pictures its out of focus. I think the wall or something didnt get really focused as the rest of the picture did. The photo came out good but it came out really white towards the light and everything else seem to come out right. I think I did the compostion of repition good but apraently there is no subject. Which I specifiaclly chose not to have one and but I still think it is good. To me I saw the project as taking pictures of acdemic things and I chose just to use the desk. Some body could think it wasnt good but it shows somthing at least. Yes there were spots in the picture and I think that caused them because it wasnt done right or the light was very sensitive. Which caused it to have the white spots.There is no one in this photo so the only thing that is seen are the desks and the empty classroom.(Which is the best kind of class an empty one!)

Here you can see the classroom of Ms. Vannoy's is empty. Due to students off on break as of now.

In Ms. Vannoy's classroom it was founded empty. The students were studing as the bell rang clearing the room in a second.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.
Each picture seems like if they werent Manipulation! With the launched missiles it seems like they shoot 4 missiles instead of 3. Even though on that event everyone knows it as the 3 missiles but people started to believe that there was 4. And the second picture with the people in it they make it seem that all the prime ministers are guys. But in the original photo there are really two women. And in the third picture you can tell it was manipulation! The dude had four arms! And in the last photo a dude was standing between them and he wasnt even really there.

B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
To get some people famous. And some of the photos can be believeable except the dude with the four arms. But I dont think its right because then the world believes what they see.

A. Post the manipulation that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical
All the pictures are unethical because of the falseness in the pictures. Showing the opisite of the truth and many people believe what they see and that isnt right.
.B. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others.
The ones that look as the real person it doesnt probably effect the real person as much if they cant tell. But if there is something there that is completly false then it isnt as good but they shouldnt be changing any of them they should just keep it true(or something like that)

Negatives Evaluations

1. From looking at your negatives, how many of your photos do you think turned out well?
Out of the twelve pictures only eight pictures cam out good. Four of them didnt come out good because I took them outside and they came too bright. But the ones I took inside came out good.




2. How many of your photos appear like they will not turn out well? Why do you think these photos did not turn out (Ex: Over/under exposed, not focused, bad composition)?
The one that I took from outside didnt come out the way I wanted to be. And the compostions that I wanted didnt come out the way that I expected to.I think four of them didnt come out the way they were suppost to be.





3. Select the negative image that you think will turn out the best when it is printed. Why do you think this photo will turn out well?

I think the one that will come out the best is the one where I took the picture of desks and the compostion is repetion. I know that I got the compostion that I wanted and I believe that was the best picture I took out of the tweleve.




4. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) do you think are present in your best negative? What evidence can you provide from the appearance of the negative to support your answer?

I think I showed good repition. I took many pictures that involved repition and I think they came out well. Like the picture that I took of the desks they showed repition because they showed the desk over and over again. And I think my view point picture came out good because i took that picture of the girl reading from a different point of view. From below her instead of being at the same level as her I was at a lower level than her.




5. What advanced composition techniques (Ex: rule of thirds, leading lines) that you have learned in class are present in your favorite negative?
That I think that repition can be easier to find then most of the other repitions. And that it can be easy to do view point because we can use staires and chairs to be at different angles from the subjects.And that leading lines are in many parts of the school too. Most of the pictures are my favorite negatives because of what I learned about the different compostions.

American Soldier

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?
I think the most powerful picture is the picture of Ian and his room mate facing eachother and in front of them is the flag. Even though you cannot see the picture I think its powerful. That we can see past them and still see the flag there. Shows that they are there for thier country.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
I think all the powerful pictures are in the country. They show about the feelings and the there everyday lives they go through. Each either showing that thier sad, angry,determined,happy, and proud. This shows much power to each picture, they all have thier own power.

c. How do the images work together to tell a story?
They tell how an soldier feels and does and goes through. Things they do before the battles and things they get ready to do for the battle. They are scramble into different emotions but I think thats how war is. You can feel one thing at one point and a few seconds later you can feel something else. War can be bipolar!!!!

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?
I think they are present tense cause they use like"Ian talks with roomate..." They sent everything as if he was doing things right this second. And this photos take place 2008.


B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?
They make it seem as if it is happening right now. Cause if it was written past wise it wouldnt have been as good to enhance the photographs.

Under the "In Country" groups of photos, look at the picture on the top right corner in which Ian is holding the rossary.

The caption reads: Ian holds his rossary as he prays that he can get the strengh he needs.

Under the "Life in Iraq" look at the first picture in which Ian is driving a Humvee.

The caption reads: Ian drives throught the streets in Iraq in a Humvee.

Under the "Basic Training" groups of photos, look at the picture in the fourth row and move down four photos where Ian is camaplogde into the bush.

The caption reads:Ian hides in bush as he targets his target point.

A. How do these other features enhance the photographs?
You can hear the voices of the people and you can hear what they are thinking and feeling. That there is not different opionions because the person that is speaking is telling the real story.

B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.
Because of the effects and the people talking and talking about the pictures instead of people trying to figure out what the photo means. They just say it sraight up from thier feelings.

C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.
They show feelings and show beauty. And there is always more than one answer to what you think it is. photos can be so amazing!!!

Marlboro Marine

A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow? (Think about the overall presentation: audio, editing, text)

The music made all the pictures tie in together. And the editing was amazing the pictures couldnt been as good without the effects.

B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?

The music made the powerpoint with deep deep power. Without the music i dont think the slidshow wouldnt be a great deal of power. It showed the meaning of the pictures and the

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?


I think the most powerful image from the slide show


B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?


Is when he started to feel depress and pictures started to show more feelings.


C. How does the audio enhance the photographs?


You can feel the experience and it gives the photo more powerful. Like the pictures have more effect when there is the right sound to go with them.


D. How do the images work together to tell a story?


Starts from one point where his feelings are to strong to handle. Till the end where his feelings made it through for him. Each photo said something different from each points.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? Explain how you dealt with these challenges.
That the people didnt want to be taken of their photos. Many people were tring to pose for the camera and all they were supost to do is just do what they were doing. It mad it hard for me to take pictures of the students.



2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
I was thinking mostly about the compostion. I just kept looking for a way to put things into compostion. Even if it couldnt been put that way I found a way.



3. Explain how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques you learned in class while shooting.
I learned how to use repetion cause it was everywhere!!! Learning what is looks like I could notice what retpetion was held right in the school.



4. What would you do differently the next time you shoot to improve your photographs?
To not waste my time and just to go in the classrooms instead of wasting time trying to get in there. And get more compostion instead of the same ones over and over again.

Summary

In the dark take out the film.Pull the flat end off.Take off film by pelling off the tape.Put the film into a plastic film reel. Slide one end into one of the slots and put it in until it is loaded. But you are going to be in the dark so you have to practice in the light. Until you finally get so you will be ready to do it in the dark. Then place the loaded reel into the tank. Now you can turn on the light because the film will not be exposed to the light. Get all of the chemical in front of you. You need the film developer,a stop bath,a fixer with hardner, and hypo eliminator bath. Have to make sure the temputure is being controlled. most of it will be on 65 and 75 degrees. Do not open the tank because we need to keep the chemicals fresh. Pour water into it for one minute. And let the film rinse off for 30 seconds. Now use the fixer with hardner for 5-10 minutes and you should begin to see the negatives. just put the film into cold water for 5 minutes
`

Sports

1.) Focal length of lens:
Canon EOS-1DS, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM zoom
-2.) Shutter Speed:
1/250
-3.) What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed?
That it takes the picture faster. Because if it was 1/60 it would be slow and the picture will come out blurry. And 1/250 will capture the picture. Because the players can not stay up in the air that long its not possible!!!
4.) Aperture:
f.5.6 f/2.8L
-5.) What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture? It focuses on the players. It helps to show the different angles in the picture.
6.) Position - Describe where you think the photographer was standing to get this shot.
The picture on the left corner looks like he was laying on the ground to get that picture. The upper right corner it seems that he is standingnormal to capture the picture. But the other two pictures I really have no idea how he capture a picture like that. Unless the camera was connected to the basket and thats how he got the picture on the upper left side. And the one on the lower right corner he probably got on a chair and streched as high as he could and tokk the picture. If not he got on the stands and zoomed in to get a picture. But however he got it they are amazing pictures. It is the same shot but at different angles!

This picture is so amazing. Many people try to to take pictures of fireworks and they come out like a big bright light. But whoever took this picture got all the details of the firework and the city of Austin. It takes a lots of talent and patience to take a picture like that. I really love how pictures they can take pictures of things that people can hardly do. And I love the way the firework is capture. And the way the city of Austin looks all bent form the back. The first thing I saw from this picture was the firework. Its so bright and beautiful, it is truly amazing.

I love this video it is very unusual. That's the best part to like about it. I love how they scream just to win. Its amazing!!! I mean some people will find it a bit strange to see girls screaming insanely just to win a contest. But to me that is so awesome, really who wouldn't want to do that it is so much fun!!!! And so if I'm weird what of it. That's how I am!!!!:)

Filling The Frame



The past two pictures I just saw plain evil but in this picture I can see happiness and calm. But now that I really look at it I see evil, but not as much. Below the glorious light I see a city of pureness and non-evil. The light shows how beautiful the place is. But it only shines in one place. The rest of the picture is just surrounded with darkness and evil.

Action and Emotion


This picture is called " Death of Tapes" and this title goes really well with this picture. But in this picture the emotion is see is confusion and stress. Wanting to wonder why life can be so difficult. That the arm represents human form and the the cassette and the tape reprents the life that revolves around us. But some how you did something wrong. Life your life was organized into that one cassette but pulling out the tape begins to put your life into the diaster. Even though you pulled it a little it can come out as a explosion. Then before you know it your life gets tangled around you. That you cannot control it and you dont know what to do. Then all you want to do is go towards anger and stress. And where does that usally end up to. If you dont know just go refer to the title again. Yeah there may be some good in this picture somehere but with a title like that how do you try to find the good in it. But all and all this is a really awesome picture!!!

The Story


I believe this picture does tell a story. The way it is taken and what subjects are in the picture you can see a story. Even though this picture does not involve humans you can still relate objects to human lifes itself. To me I see this as an evil relationship is about to emerge. The brown part of the matches show the only good from them, what everyone sees. But then the fire shows the evil that takes hold of them. The title of this picture is called the "proposal". It may seem that way to people but is see him bowing down to the wicked one and he wants to be a part or her evil ways. I see nothing but evil in this picture. And the darkness as the background doesn't help to show the happiness in this picture. This is my opinion but I like I said photography is filled with opinions. From the good all the way to the bad. But all and all this picture is awesome.

ATPI Photography Shortcourse



Picture taken by: Steele Burrow

This picture caught my eye. I love how it looks. The confusion that it brings and trying to figure it out makes it exciting. Its two of reflections of one thing and it amuses me. The lighting is bright bringing the subject darker and the reflection very lightly into the dark subject. I would say this is leading lines because the lines leads to one thing and it makes it seem endless. It can seem nonreal but it is all this person really did was take a picture of a tree in the car with the window down. And just look at the results and it is really amazing. To me it looks like there is reflection everywhere which makes the subject seem so different from what is really is. Like you only see what figure you see in front off you but do not see the same reflection inside the figure. Like a mirror you can not see. Thats a really important reason why I love this picture. No wonder this picture won. It really truely is amazing. I hope someday that I would be able to takes pictures the way this person did. It is AWESOME.

Great Photographers Part 3

Of course you shoud remember this amzing picture taken by Minor White. This man is so amazing and I didnt even know him in real life. His subjects are so, well amazing. He doesn't focus on human made or human in his pictures. He uses nature and it looks beautiful. If I was in the picture I would see the world was full of darkness. I would hear the birds and bugs ehcoing in my ears. And the howling wind probably cause me to shut my ears from the disturbing noise. I would taste nothing but pure dryness as the wind goes into my mouth. I would feel the scrapes and cuts go through my body as I try to go through the sharp bark that stand before me. I would be able to smell the cold night and the snow landing on me making me quiver. In this picture I see if it is winter because this tree looks naked covered in snow. So of course the winter is among the night and the day. Even though you see only one part of the whole image you can still imagine what it feels like to be there. This picture is amazing picture. It really amuses me and I cant get this image out of my head. This photographer is so good that all the pictures he takes they don't leave my mind. And one more thing, I see the moons light brighten the trees naked barks. I just adore this picture because he involved the moon into it! This picture should really be rewared or something. Heck I give this picture the award of " Awesomest Coolest Picture Ever"!


Rember this picture?!? This picture was taken by Minor White.
This was a great picture.. I can image myself in this picure, it is so realistic. If I was in it I feel the strong wind pushing against my body. The waves hitting the rocks, spraying drizzles to my feet. And the smell of the sweet ocean. I could hear the waves clashing into the rocks and the wind making the tree howl. Some wave salt water makes its way to my mouth with a salty bitter taste. As the wind blows my hair to my face I can still see through my tangled hair the tree that stands strong and bold. I really enjoy this picture and if I really would come apon this place it would be so awesome! I love how this photographer focuses on the subject but can still give meaning to the background. This picture is truley powerful. It looks like the tree can stand any wave it can stand any storm. It looks like it has survived many years and it is still going to stand. This picture is worth more than just a look or a glance. This is a good picture for people to write what they think. Thats what I love about photography that people have different thoughts. Just this one picture has brought this much imagination in me. I would write more but then I would just be writing about thoughts.

Hurricane Ike



I like this picture beacuse of how the photographer used the rule of thirds. The intensity of the storm as if the waves was pushing the building. You can see how powerful the waves are and how hard the winds are strong. This picture may not have a lot to show but it does have a lot to explain. You may not see it but this picture has a lot of things to say. And that is one thing I love about photography, that it may not show a lot but it can still be very powerful!!!!!


I like this picture because how the photographer took it. How it shows how high the water was and the destruction the hurricane is causing. I think this picture is a Photographic Composition of lines. Because of the many lines and how the wind blows the trees into the photo. This is a very good picture. But I just wonder how the photographer took this picture during the storm?!?!?!?


I love this picture because I saw the same picture but at a different angle. In the other picture the house that seemed that it was the main disaster. But from this angle you can see all the disaster that is happening and the photographer focuses on everything. I think this picture is the Photographic Composition: Rule of Thirds. Because the burning home is focused on the side and everything around it helps it. This picture shows it all and all of the photographers are different. From angle to focus to postion and each picture are different and beautiful. Many photographers focused on the burning home.

Negative and Postisve Pictures!!!


I love these pictures I like the negative more then the positive picture. It makes it more mysterious and more non-realistic. I didnt really like the postitive because it started to show color and it got boring. But the negative is so Freaking Awesome!

Of course both of the pictures came out different. The positive picture came out with a little color and it came out like a mirror. The tree on the negative picture is on the right side. And the tree on the positive picture is on the left side. In the positive picture it is darker towards the bottom and you can hardely see anything but in the negative you can see everything clearly just not in color.

Negative:expressing or containing negation or denial :refusing consent, as to a proposal :expressing refusal to do something :prohibitory, as a command or order :characterized by the absence of distinguishing or marked qualities or features; lacking positive attributes :lacking in constructiveness, helpfulness, optimism, cooperativeness, or the like :being without rewards, results, or effectiveness.

Negative Photography: noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.

The negative and the positive pictures are different because the negative shows the brightest values which are meaning they are the darkest. That is why the trees and the table are so bright in my pictures that when I turn it into a positive the trees and the table come out dark. And as for the sky it is dark in the negative picture and comes out bright on the positive picture. There is refraction recouring in this picture and it happens to most of the pictures.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 2

Minor White was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1908. He went to go study in the University of Minnesota. He worked as a photographer with the Works Progress Administration in Oregon in 1938-1939. In 1945 he moved to New York City and study at the University of Columbia.

He was a great photography and he did photography known as Textural photography. Which is when he takes pictures of items such as a bush, tree, cracks in the road, or even a rusted up car. He was an American photographer, poet, educator, and a critic.

Photographer: Minor White



This picture is just amazing. The tree is so awesome how it covers the moon. The things hanging off the tree amaze me. This picture is beautiful. The darkness helps the moon and tree stand out and picture truly does grab your attention. Minor White takes beautiful pictures. He doesnt really use much people to capture the beauty in his pics. But he uses the earth instead of real life. He uses what surrounds us every day. Using the earth is what makes it a really great picture. I truly love this picture it is so AWESOME!!! And I love the MOON thats why I chose this to be one of my favorite pictures



This is a great picture took by Minor White. How it looks like the water has just stoped. And how the tree sprails around itself. The first thing I saw from the picture was the tree that stood with great form and beauty. This is a really great picture I really like this picture!!!

Wednesday, September 23, 2009



Minor White:

I Love this picture! How the darkness feels the earth and how the water moves. The storm how it passes trough the ocean. And how the white comes into the photo beautifully. REALLY REALLY REALLY AWESOME PICTURE!!!


Ansel Adams:
This picture is beautiful! How the snow goes into the bark of the tree. The surounding of winther in the picture. And of course its away from humans. It is a picture of the real world how it really is! REALLY REALLY AWESOME!!!

Carlenton Watzins:
I like this photographer because he uses the land instead of preople. He uses the picture with the world instead of us humans. The water is beautiful how it streaks down the rocks. AWESOME PIC!!!

SIMPLICITY:

This picture shows simplicity because it gives the attenion to the smoke emmerging form the building. It doesn't give much "caught eye scences" anywhere else. This picture was well tooken i love this picture.


RULE OF THIRDS:
This picture shows the rule of thirds. The police officer in the right corner goes well the picture. Also the flag is shown really well with the whole picture. I love this picture it gives attention to many things including the center, flag , and the police officer.


BALANCE:

This picture shows balance. The colors, the wall, and the meaning show so much balance. The picture is so great. It caught my eye, love this picture.



LINES:

This picture shows lines. The lines show the center of the person falling and the smoke. To me the lines come into the picture and makes it more amazing. Even though it was a tragic day this picture shows a lot.



AVOIDING MERGES:

This picture is an example of avoiding emerges because it focuses on the buildings and cars. And the background is covered with smoke and it doesnt destract the buliding or cars. This is a great picture.


FRAMING:
This is a picture with framing because the explosion and the destruction is in the background of the picture. And the fore ground gives the center more depth so it looks interesting.

This is by far the greatest picture that caught my eye.It shows lightning and a great explosion and pure darkness. Even though most of our lives are made from happyness this picture shows that our life isnt every day happiness. You never know what will happen. You can see the lightning in the fog and which makes it real awesome! This picture is truely amazing! The VERY BEST!!!
