Ethics in Fashion Photography

1. The changes that were made on the model's face using photoshop were that her facial features were brought closer together, towards the center of her face, smaller jaw bone/ chin, bigger eyes, bigger lips, smaller neck, smaller shoulders.

2. The changes that were made to the model's body using photoshop were clearing up her skin, altering her facial features to make them closer together, bigger eyes, smaller nose, hiding her teeth, adding more color to her face and body, making her skinnier everywhere, lengthening her legs, then going back through and making her body more of a neutral skin color but shinier, and lengthening her neck.

3. The changes that were made to the model using photoshop were that they turned a pizza into a person. They completely took away all of the color, shaped it into a girl, and added all the facial features, body features, clothes, hair, and human coloring.

4. No because you are making people want to look like that person in the magazine and feel bad about themselves, but really that person doesn't look like that at all.

5. It would be more ethically wrong to do this if you are telling the world that the images that they are seeing are completely natural and there was no editing done to them but there was.

6. The types of changes that are ok are when you are maybe just lightening or darkening up a photo, or adding color to it.

7. Fashion is shooting an article of clothing on a model's body, and photojournalism is shooting a person just for something specific about them not for clothing purposes.

8. All the photos have connections to how women wearing clothes should look in a specific way, this effects how ethical the practice is because some people try doing this in photoshop but it is not achieved so the public gets mad over the heavily photoshopped images.

9.I think that we are being showed these videos so that we know that when we are editing our photos in class or anywhere that it is not ok to completely change a photo of a person drastically just because it does not look good to us.

10.None of these videos are about guys because girls have always been put to higher standards and judged on what they should look like to be able to be called pretty and to impress people, and guys have never really been told how they should look to be perfect.

Africa

Image
1. When I was looking at the photos of African wildlife I noticed that all of the animals in the pictures looked really majestic and fierce. These images also show the real beauty of all these creatures in their natural habitat. As well as showing what life is like for those animals daily, catching and eating their prey, and taking care of their young. 2.  3. This is my favorite photo by Nick Brandt, because the background is nice, dark, and stormy, which makes the zebra in the middle of the frame pop. 4. The photography rules that are used in this photo is simplicity, because the plain, solid background brings the attention to the patterned zebra. 5. Nick Brandt uses the 67 shutter lens when he is taking photos, although it is not a high tech type of lens, he likes to use it because of the way the photos look when he looks at them through the ground glass. 6. Photography was merely the best medium for him to express his feelings about animals, and the natural world. 7.

The Camera

1. The "Camera Obscura" effect is when light is coming from the camera and projecting on to the wall in a dark room. It is created when you are in a dark room and there is a small hole in one wall where it is focused and the outside scene is projected upside-down on the other wall. 2. In the 17th century the high quality glass lens helped man come one step closer to creating the modern camera. 3. The parts of the modern camera were a glass lens, a dark box, and a film. 4. modern digital cameras and Niepce's camera both allow light too pass through the lens, into the camera, and expose the film which both result in a picture. 5.  digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. 6. On auto mode t he camera will completely control flash and exposure. 7. On program mode you just point and shoot. 8. On sports mode the  camera will use the highest shutter speed possible to freeze motion. 9. On manual mode  the photographer has to set both the s

Magazines Part 2

1) Image Based- Image Based magazine covers are the most common because they have less objects in it which make it more clean/ simple and less busy looking. Celebrities or fashion usually take place on the cover, and side shots can cause a more dramatic feel to the photo. 2) Illustration Based- Illustration Based magazines are not so common now as they used to be in the mid 20's and 30's but are now used more for comedic effect, or to present something funny. The magazine covers that use illustrated covers are independently published magazines that do not rely on newsstand sales. Also the illustration can draw eyes to it if it is drawn properly but, at the same time it is risky. 3) Type Based- Type Based magazines are also not very common but more common than the illustration magazines. The mostly have big letters and the headlines are usually something interesting or shocking.They are usually used by published work instead of newsstands,  if so less people will buy the pap
