Ethics in Fashion Photography

1.They make the lips bigger , the neck longer ,the forehead bigger by moving the eyebrows a little bit down,they mess with the hair , they make her face look skinnier and they make skin a little bit darker

2. I do not think its ok to change someones face because it is not the real person when you finish messing with it and this disorts the perception of beauty.

3.I think that they are more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation.

4.I think that if you just need to cover up the face some weres if u missed a spot of makeup or just change a little details. Some that you should not do is do not change the neck or change the eyes to make them better shaped or even mess with the skin color.

5.In fashion photography people try to get the perfect picture and they even work on it on photoshop just to make it look better, and a photojournalist is someone who takes pictures of things exactly the way they are.
Its just the difference between the words fashion and journalism.

6.In fashion they just want to sell their stuff and they dont care if they have to lie to people or even change a whole face to make people think they could look like that so this has no relation to reality.
In photojournalism photographers want to take pictures of the reality to inform people no matter if they like it or not.It is always the truth so the relation to reality is big.

My first print

1.a)The boy in front that is writing is in focus but the person in the back is not.
b)The person in the background is not in focus because I only tried to get a good focus on the boy.

2.a)I think the contrast is pretty good because you can even see the small things without a problem but the hand isn't that good because you cant tell the hand apart from the paper.

3.I just went close and I think that the subject fills the frame very good and you can see him writing.

4.No yellowing/spots.

5.No rings.

6.Everything at its right place :)

Negatives evalution

1. I think alot of my pictures turned out really good, some of them i saw were a bit blurry though.

2. Like 2 or 3 didnt turn out so well i think, probably because i moved a bit while i took the picture or i wasnt paying attention to the lighting or focus.

3. The viewpoint is very good and it is not at all blurry.

4. Composition was snicely done the focus was pretty good, not blurry at all. You can ee everything clearly in the negative.

5. I tried to experiment with my viewpoint and tou can see that in most of my pictures and very good in my favorite negative.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

1)A. People at the newspaper used photo shop or other soft wares like it to manipulate the photos. They would take things out or even add things to the photos. Altering a photo for newspapers is illegal, and people were being fired for the manipulation of those photos.

B. I think its just unethical, if your altering a photo just because you want it to look better isn't right. When you do that you aren't telling the truth about what really happened.



2)A.The picture that i think is the most unethical is the one with the missles because why whould u tell the public there was 4 missles that launched but only 3 realy did. That would mean that the missles were not working right and they might feel unsafe.

B. the one that is the least unethical is the guy standing next to thelong metal pipe. Its the least unethical because they jusy messed with his hand they did not change nothing major to it
