Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography

1.removed acne,colored hair, and curly hair.

2. longer legs, neck longer, and but was made bigger

3. made much skinner, hair made bigger and longer, and hands were made smaller

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo

 Why or why not?

I think it depends on the person and what they think I very pro choice and think that if someone wants to be viewed as something they are not then that is okay. But when you alter the image of someone without their permission than that's not okay you changed something that made it clear they did not want to be changed like the eucalyptus leaves and how they clearly don't want to be eaten by koalas but get eaten anyways

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

Like a stated before just like eucalyptus leaves they clearly don't want to change (or be eaten) but you alter their image then it is wrong. You can also alter them to become ugly and obviously  that is wrong. Their is also the circumstances where you can alter they way events look like and I personally believe that you can not change the past in anyway.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

I think there are some harmless changes like making you friend look like a eucalyptus leaf and your a koala eating him thats okay. Also making your photo of eucalyptus leaves better thats also okay.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

Fashion photography is using photographing in a from of marketing and trying to sell something or make money. While photojournalism is more about taking a picture and talking about it.

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

Each form of photography cannes us emotionally on they way we look at things, the way we feel, and they way we think.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?

You may want to show us the bad things that photoshop can be used for also to show us the dark side of photography.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???

Possible because it different. Most people will buy a model magazine about a girl because girls envy girls and guy want girls but guys typically not envy other guys.

Magazines Part II

Magazines Part II

1. Early Magazine Covers
They did not have any pictures for covers like today. They manly were just title and then strait to the story. Some of them did used some versions of book covers which is a simple small illustration. 

2. The Poster Cover
individual cover started to happen. and made no words and more of a they look at this now buy it and read it's contents and i mean look at it, it's a picture 

3. Pictures Married to Type
This is a good example of "modern" day magazine where its father The poster cover  made him but added something new you actually know what they heck you're buying and what the magazine is about. Also they added words. But it still kept the exciting new tread of adding a picture cover of the subject.

4. In the Forest of Words
As you know form poster cover from above it had a son who never knew how to shut up and thus In the Forest of Words was born. Yes this is the "modern" day covers but it is when you have your main "subject"  but around and on his/her forehead is all the other titles in the magazine. Like I said before can someone please shut this person 

My Favorite Cover

My Favorite Cover

W, December/January, The Art Issue


"For W’s December/January Art Issue, the magazine collaborated with artist Yayoi Kusama to create this iconic cover image depicting George Clooney. The visually arresting image is the highlight of the cover story, for which five leading female artists were invited to create interpretive portraits of the actor. Clooney wears a suit painted by Kusama with her signature polka dots and stands against a polka-dotted backdrop. Planned to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of new work by Kusama at David Zwirner Gallery, the cover makes a powerful reference to the artist’s iconic self-portraits."


This picture helps show that photographers can take one the worlds sexist man and put him into an out of the ordinary in a strange environment. I also like how exciting this image it made my eyes just pop. They also choose a good choice in lighting like the use the darker side with the side with less light and I liked that a lot. I also like what they did to there title they changed it up a bit so that way it can along with the spots, although  I think they put it there so we can read it easier but I also think that it work and help out with the theme. I think that there is a good amount in composition like abominably the pattern of the dots but they may have a few lines with his coat. They also in a way some simplicity in the background because although it is eye catching it is very simple for the fact that it is just dots.

American Soldier Slide Show and Captions

American Soldier Slide Show and Captions

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

I think image 66 is very powerful mostly because you see this boy transform to a protecter.

B. Through the photos, Ian is in different locations, each set of photos from the same location comprise a short series or set.

Set #4 Back in Denver

Which set of images was the most powerful? Why?

I think the training is pretty powerful because it all about getting people who are learning to adapt to their new lifestyle and that is very powerful because  the new lifestyle is a hard way to live

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

They work together by telling the beginning middle end. In denver we are introduced to the main character and what he wants to do. The rising action is the training and so is Iraq and then the turing point is when he is done serving in Iraq and the falling action and conclusion is him coming home.

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?
