Ethics in fashion photography


1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
The changes to the models face were they lifted her head making her look like she had a longer neck. They made her hair look fuller, lips bigger, eyes lower, eyes bigger, slimmed her neck made cheeks slimmer fixed hair and forehead.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
For advertising its not so bad other then faults advertising but its not killing any one and as longs as the person now what it will end up looking like at the end and approves i think its fine.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
When you don't have the permission to change a persons appearance is when it gets worst.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I think its OK to change colors of someone hair or eyes even make-up color. but other then that i think people should be happy with how they are pretty much build how god created them. Its OK to erase blemishes or circles under then eyes but only when you are in the public view.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography pretty flat out fashion its all about making everything beautiful following new trends and looking the best. Photojournalism is more facts what is true how you see it is how it is, no sugar-coating it.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? The relationship with photography and reality is simple its Moment. Each picture captures a second in time even millisecond. If the photograph is posed or action its still a moment. With fashion photograph your making things look pretty fashionable and other photography capture the nature beauty of each.

PhotoShop







My first print


Mrs. Garcia is in pretty good focus here hair has great detail. The white board is out of focus the words are not visible i think because if the amount of light i did when we developed our photo under mr. enlarger.
The white came out pretty good but there was some white that should of been a little darker so we can see the words on the white bored but still its a good effect.
Mrs. Garcia is my subject and she is writing on the white bored that is her action. I gave the photo a different view point but taking if from a side angle and closer against the bored. This photo also followers rule of thirds by having Mrs. Garcia in the tic tac toe marks.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

Photo Shop has brought great creative images to the world but has also backed fired. With the images being edited there are images made to look as something else. This occurred in the middle east when women were taken out of pictures and replaced with male. Other images were failed launching of rockets, and edited blurs.







This type of photo editing is unethical because they are pretty much ling to the world.



Showing them fake photos of something that didn't happen.
This photo isn't as bad because it was edited to fit a cover of a magazine not to show how close the mountains are together.


This edited photo was lying to the public they could of got a photo the had a diverse crowd but didn't.

1. From looking at your negatives, how many of your photos do you think turned out well?
not many because of not enough or too much exposer to light.

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 photos that did not turn out well were either to exposed to light or didnt get enough light.

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?
Focus is present in my photo because there i not any smoges and also exposure beacuse you are able to identify what is around.

American Solider Slideshow and Captions

I think the most powerful image from the slide show is when Ian returns back from
the war and is greeted by his friend Cody after arriving at his sister's friends house
from dinner and a movie. Its shows that his friends actually missed him and were
glad to see him back.

The most powerful sequence for me has to be the signing up one.
It shows him and his family getting ready for him to leave and
possible not come back.

The images show him preparing step by step to leave
saying "goodbye for now" and also all the paper work
that come with enrolling. He gets information and
finishes his high school career and enters his adult life.

When Ian is the main subject in the photo the verds on the caption are usually written in pass tense.

The captions give the photo a story or background information. It tells you what you
see in the photo but also what has and may happen

Ian and his pal Bob are celebrating his last couple of day before leaving to Iraq with a couple of beers. Surrounded by friends at his sisters house they enjoy each others company. Ian is bittersweet about leaving he knows he will be missed and miss a lot of them to but his heart is in the right place.

After a long day of drilling and training for Iraq Ian's troops members and him return back to base and prepare for shut eye.

Ian hangs his t-shirt made by Kristen his girlfriend by a mirror were he looks at it every day and night. It reminds him that he has to go back home and for what people he is fighting for.

The features in the video make it seem more like a time line and a story of Ian's life. The text shows where and what is going on by giving each sequence a title. He's friends and family give their opinion and their look on Ian going to the army.

The video shows interviews from people in the photographs and his family.

The photos are able to capture a moment in time unlike photos that are continues.
