Fashion

1.  The motel was changed dramatically.  Her face was cleaned from freckles and her eye brows were changed to be more emphasized.  Her hair was curled and her shoulders were enlarged and her eyes and lips were made bigger.

2.  Her body was darkened and made enlarged and emphasized.  Her eyes,nose, lips, and face were all made enlarged and bigger.  Her legs were smoothed and made longer same with her neck.  Her breasts were made larger and smoother like her hands.

3.Her whole body was changed.  She was made skinny and taller.  Her hair was made longer and bigger.  She was changed form being fat to smaller.

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?

No I do not think it is acceptable because you shouldn't be able to create another whole new person out of the same person.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
No I don't think their are circumstances because it isn't human to make a person someone new.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I think that minor changes are ok like changing their eyes but changing their body is not ok.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion photography you are changing the picture from its original state while in photojournalism you are 
just making the photo have more color.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect 
the ethical practice of each?
Both have a camera involved and both are taking pictures of a certain object or thing.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
To show us what is bad about using to mush photo shop in a picture.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???
Because the pictures in the videos are about changing an appearance and are for helping stores sell items like victoria
secrets or a store like that.

Magazine Part II

What i noticed about the four main types of covers is that they all try to tell a story with the picture and the title.  Most of them are trying to focus on one main object or character that they want to reveal in a story.  They get the objects or characters to pose in a certain way to get the best possible shot.  By getting the character to pose it tells  a story whether it is good or bad about how or what happened to that person or objet.

My favorite Cover


Finalist
Wired, September 2014, Edward Snowden

"Edward Snowden didn't want to be photographed. He wanted his actions--leaking classified NSA files--to be the focus of any story, not his face. But. But. Being shot by Platon, who has photographed world leaders like Dick Cheney, George Bush (both of them), and Vladimir Putin, puts him on the same level as those subjects, elevating his message. So out of complicated motivations comes a tense and compelling photograph. As Snowden holds the flag, his face and his hands convey both respect and hurt--a flickering combination of protectiveness and vulnerability. Words would tip the reader toward a single interpretation. So. No design. No cover lines. Just an image, however you choose to look at it."

I Liked this photo because the person taken in the photo is speaking through the picture.  The lighting of the photo is made to focus on the main person or thing in the photo.  The guy in the photo cradling the US flag in a gentle and caring manner to show that he cares for our country and wants to help protect it.  And his eyes are starring into space like he can see the future and sees what is happening whether it is good or bad for the US.  The photographer used a lot of rules to create this photo to look mysterious and the photo makes the reader want to know why this man is cradling a US flag.
