Ethics in fasion photography

1.  They had made her neck longer, her face more slender, her eyes bigger, lips bigger, and gave her skin a different tone.

2.  I beleive that this is not ethnically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo, because it not the truth and they aren't using this photo to tell a story their using it to sell a product that they didn't even use in the photograph.

3.  Yes there are and like in my last answerer its to sell a product that wasn't used to the woman in the shot at all. It's a lie and it's wrong.

4. The types of changes that are ok would be the way that they changeed the tone on her face, I do that even to my own photo's it isn't a lie and it just tweaks the photo enough to make the photo look good not the person.

5.  I think that a fashion photographer takes a photo that's true and changes it into something that's a lie. But a photojournalist takes a real photo, leaves it as is, and builds a story from the truth.

6.  A relationship each type of photography have to reality is that it's all taken from something that's real, true, and was happening at one point. Weather they were changed into something else or not they all started off with the same truth.

Negatives Evaluation

1. After looking through my photo's I believe there are six out of eleven photo's that turned out well.

2.  There were about five that didn't turn out well. For the majority of the pictures that didn't turn out well was because of the lighting, it was too bright. And the minority of the photo's that didn't turn out was because they were out of focus.

3.  A negative image that I will believe will turn out well would be the second photo that I had taken. I think that this photo will turn out well because there is perfect lighting, everything is in focus, and the rule of thirds was shown perfectly in this photo.

4.  The aspect of photography that i think is best presented in my best negative would be balance. The way the camera was angled to get that perfect shot of all the students working in a row.

5.  The advanced composition technique that is present in my favorite negative would be the rule of thirds.

Photo Manipulation and ethnics

1.
A: This story is about photographers that used photo shop or other editing resources to change their pictures.
They changed the was things looked in the photos that were very important.But they don't ever change things that aren't visible in the photo. For example, they change object dates and times and replace people in the photo with other people.


B: This is not acceptable editing for a photographer working for a newspaper. It's just disrespectful to all of their readers to lie and deceive them from the truth . I would like to read a story and look at the picture that shows me the truth as a reader.You also just loos respect for those who just don't have any integrity. So bottom line this type of photo editing is completely unethical.

 
2
A: I think that this photo is the most unethical. Because it's telling a FLAT OUT LIE. Some unethical photos just twist the truth and what's really there. But this photo is taking two totally different extremely important people and putting them together to make a good story. I mean it's the president. This isn't subject you can just screw around with.




        B:  explain why you think it is not as bad as others.  I believe this  photo is least unethical because because the only reason the photo shopped this photo was to make the cover look more interesting. It's not as bad as the others because they aren't lying those two pyramids are something that are really there. they just tweaked it. And they didn't do it with dad motives like the last photo. I wasn't used to prove a fake story really happened.                                                                             



















Drug Cartels in Mexico

What i found most interesting from this story was how quickly photojournalist Jeff Antebi was put to work after shortly arriving to Juarez, Mexico. In the story he says,"Once I arrived in Juarez within an hour over the police scanners a body was found and thirty minuets later another body and then another body and by the end of the day there were ten bodies found." This shows the seriousness of the situation out there.
A photo that really spoke out to me was the one were you actually can't see a person or a body. It's just the front of a car and all you can see is a crack in the wind shield and splattered blood is shown on the inside of the wind shield. One of the technicah aspects that is clearly shown in this photo is the rule of thirds.This was my favorite photo because it tells you a  story with ever seeing the story just the evidence of what happened.

Post Shooting Reflection

1.  The only challenges that I was finding a moment to capture. You we were supposed to capture a moment of a student or teacher working and almost all of the classes I had gone to there were many students that were off task. It was hard to keep the one's that were working in the picture, and the ones that weren't out.

2. The technical aspect that I found myself thinking about the most was focus. One of the reasons I did was because the one thing that drives me crazy about photography  is a blurry picture. So no matter what position I was in i held it for as long as it took to take a good, non blurry picture.

3. In about two of the pictures I took I used, I attempted to use the technique of lines. And in allot of the others i used the rude of thirds and framing.

4.  One thing that I would do differently the next time to improve my shooting would to be more "out there"

Materials:
1. Processing sinks with hot and cold running water (a single faucet is advisable)
2. Tanks for roll-film processing
3. Timers
4. Thermometers for processing tanks
5. Film clips or a drying cabinet
6. Graduates
7. Negative envelopes or sleeves
8. Sponges
9. Film squeegees
10. Scissors

Chemicals:
1. Developer
2. Stop Bath
3. Fixer

Procedure:
A metal or plastic film tank,Three dark plastic containers to hold chemistry, Graduates (used to measure chemicals), A darkroom timer, A can opener and, A room that is totally light proof (not even the slightest sliver of light should be visible). Developer (see other sidebar), Glacial Acetic Acid (optional, for Stop Bath), Fixer (Kodak Rapid Fixer with Hardener is highly recommended) and, Hypo Eliminator. Remove the film from the cassette. Load the film onto either a metal or plastic film reel. Place the loaded reel in the film tank ad cover. Posses film by laying out the chemicals in front of you: a film developer (nickname: soup), a stop bath, and a fixer with hardener, and a hypo eliminator bath. Most film is processed between 65 and 75 degrees. Pour developer into the open part of the sealed film tank. Pour running water into the pour spout for one minute to stop development let the film sit in that for 30 seconds to wash off the developer. Pour in a tankful of Hypo Eliminator (also called Hypo Clearing Agent) and agitate for two minutes. One final wash, for five minutes. In about 1-2 hours, the film will be dry. Use scissors to cut the film into strips six negatives long. Be careful to cut the film in the space between the images.


1. emulsion- a composition sensitive to some or all of the actinic rays of light.
2. aperture- a hole, gap, crack, slit, or other opening.
3. masking easel-a glass coverd easel used to hold down pictures.
4. exposure- presenting a photosensitive surface to rays of light.
5. safe light - a darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.
6. dodging- to shade (an area of a print) from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area
7. burning- to copy
