Fashion Photoshop

1.They start with a normal person, they seem to try like 10 different hair combinations, then they add makeup and all that stuff. After the photo is take, you can already see a noticeable difference, but after they shape the face and the eyes some, you could not tell that the person in the beginning was the person in the end, which they basically were not that person in the beginning after having so much changed about them.

2. In the second video, it shows us what people do to models in after shooting. In the video, they make changes to then shape of the models face, how tall they are, changing their skin tone, and overall I would say the most noticeable change is they make the model glow.

3. In the third video, the creators show us the photoshop process in reverse. What was originally a piece of pizza is turned into a model. Something that I think the people who made the video were trying to tell people that anything can be beautiful through photoshop. What they did is basically changed everything about the picture, and then you get the final product.

4. The question asks wether it is ethical to add these changes to a person in a photo, I say yes.
It says photo,  sure if you want to make someone look prettier fine, but people do this to sell things to people, making their target audience (usually women when talking about beauty) doubt themselves, and are chorused by things like these photo shopped models to buy their products in order to feel like they are accepted or something like that.

5. In advertising like the videos showed us today, it is ethically wrong, because your are messing with the minds of their potential consumers. They are altering what people think about themselves in a negative way, to sell more products.

6.I think the changes done before things, to alter something to better fit the photograph should be enough, like the hair, and makeup like the videos today, or setting up a scene or backdrop for photographic journalism. While you are still altering what is actually happening, it still better may better benefit your cause, or what you are trying to accomplish with these photos you are taking.

7.I think someone would think that there would be a big difference between photojournalism, and fashion photography, but there really is not. In both forms of photography, you are trying to sell things, in fashion photography you are trying to sell clothes and physical objects. In photographic journalism, you are trying to sell a story, to make people believe in what may be written on pen and paper, to sell truth.

8.While I would say both fashion and journalistic photography are pretty relative to reality. I would say that fashion photography may have a set of darker motivations, which is more relative, because fashion photography, and the fashion industry in general have alter are reality, by setting standards and trends, which are followed instinctively by our minds, to feel accepted.

9. I think your showing us these videos, because you want us to at least be cautious of what we see, and to not always do what we have been told.

10.I think these videos feature women, because it is the truth. The major target of beauty products are women. I think this because, there is a set social standards that have been set by advertising and, self-belief, that all women are supposed to look very beautiful, and attractive, while men have muscles and strength. I feel like these standards are crumbling as the world gets more progressive, and I hope they do in the future.

Prompt Shoot #1

Bowie- I think I followed the rules of Rule of thirds, because the subject is not in the middle of the picture, I also think that this photo follows balance, because of the color red,  with the color bashe in the background. Square I  think I followed the rules of  framing, but i think that I did not avoid mergers very well. But I think I followed lines, because the pattern formed with all the lines Metal- I think this photo follows, Rule of thirds, because the grate is off center, and I also think that this follows lines. Happy- I think this photo follows balance,  the  pink of the flowers, seems to contrast fairly well with the light blue sky in the background. I also think that this photo follows simplicity, because it is just the flowers, and the sky in the background.

Lines

I think this photo displays lines because of the lines in the building it really catches your eye, but the gash in the building's side really draws your attention, that it was something all parell but now it something broken, and out of form.

American soldier

I think the most powerful image is the one with the caption, life changing decision , at age 17. I think this is the most powerful image, because you can see in his face, that after this, you really can't come back. The images work together in creating a story, because it lets you see What Ian fisher is went through during his journey of enlisting into the army, and fighting in Iraq. Ian Fisher enlisted in the army, right after high school, over and over again he struggled with the discipline in the army, almost getting booted out multiple times. He went through many different relationships over the course of this period of time, and the friends and people he knew before the army grew further apart.  After finally going to Iraq, Fisher seemed to be a good soldier, and for the most part followed all commands given. After returning from Iraq, Fisher and his girlfriend Devin, got married. In the photos which feature Ian as the main subject, they are mostly written in present te...
