FASHION

Evolution Model Videos:

1. The girl had makeup heavily applied, they stretched her neck, lowered her hair and eyes, and made her eyes bigger.

2. The girl has hers eyes get bigger, her shoulder is raised, she lips get darker, her legs and neck get longer, her figure gets slimmer, her hair is highlighted, and they lighten her skin.

3. The girls has some area bigger and some minimized, her hair is extend and her shoulders are brought inwards, most if not all her proportions are changed to a smaller scale, and she is made slimmer.

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
No, because these are real people who are just edited into being someone fake.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
It would be more wrong to change a persons appearance to publicly take advantage of them.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Changing make up or hair i would say are fine, but changing the whole body and facial fetters are wrong because then the model becomes a completely different person.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography is making the models look perfect like an ideal person, and photoJ is taking well thought out photographs that need only minimal editing.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
They are real pictures that are edited to be perfect which then makes them fake. Publicly people think those standards are reachable but what they don't know is a computer made them perfect and no ones perfect. Society has an image of perfection set.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
To show us how models are changed to get a perfect image.

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

Girls are more easily manipulated to be perfect because girls are more sensitive to appearance. Girls are what most people think of when they think modeling. There are guy models but you see girls more for beauty products and advertisements.

Magazines Part II

Early magazine covers are in black and white and don't have many pictures. They only have a small picture and a title or a little more type, but not much at all. The magazines were basically plain. 
The Poster Cover has a cover photo that takes up the whole page or most of it. There sometimes is a title at the top but other wise there is no other words on the cover.
Pictures Married to Type are covers with mostly words and a picture background. The type fits where ever it can filling up any empty space.
In the Forest of Words the subject of the photo is not the magazines main concern because the words overlap most of the photo. Sometimes the words frame the portrait or encircle it. There are small and large type deciding the main parts of the magazine.

Finalist

The New York Times Magazine, November 24, The Flight Risk

Photographer: Martin Schoeller

Designer: Arem Duplessis

"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

- See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2014-winners-finalists#sthash.F5kGsGgT.dpuf

It shows emotion in Sarah's face she's not afraid of what she does but the main caption is "the Flight risk". This explains her sport is dangerous in simple terms but she does it anyway. She is dressed in Skydiving wear and is posed to be poking start at the camera. Almost everything on the cover is symmetrical  The colors used look like they were thought about. The grey background make the red suit almost jump out at you. This would help attract and audience to the cover.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part I

Tips

1. Alter Your Perspective

Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor. http://digital-photography-school.com/10-ways-to-take-stunning-portraits

18. Experiment with Subject Expressions

In some portraits it is the expression on the face of your subject that makes the image. 

Get your subject to experiment with different moods and emotions in your image. Play with extreme emotions. http://digital-photography-school.com/tips-portrait-photography

11. Frame Your Subject

Framing is a technique where by you draw attention to one element of an image by framing it with another element of the image. http://digital-photography-school.com/tips-portrait-photography

I like this photo because the girl is in her environment. She runs track and the photographer took her photo in an area she is comfortable in. I also like it because it involves an action.

I like this photo because the guy looks as if he could be native to the area so he is in his environment. the objects around him add to the rural feel.

I like this photo because its one of those classic photos that seniors or common people may get shot because of its simplicity.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKH8jBmk7c8SGwkCi4StMO5wKHnRzCH3iHQhONRQFoYYlok2BJSLcD_iNIFOAHeKMSnYkxwXz4c-WY5b3DoOZ2iwiPxMRf3mRawKSHaa3LZpFY24jnVk9G5FtwzTYAq9Mbn-FhGwT9K0o/s1600/casual+portrait2.jpg

I like this photo because the girl isn't smiling she has a different expression on her face. She is also no looking at the camera. These two things make the photo more interesting.

My Portrait Project:

I have not worked out all the details for this project but I plan on shooting my little sister lauren, who is a 6th grader, outside with trees in the back ground or in front of different backgrounds. To make the shot successful, I will use the rules of photography and other rules we learned in class. The one rule i will try to focus on is rule of thirds because it is my favorite to shoot.
