lytro warm up & ethnics in fashion photography

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? it focused in on the spot you clicked
2. How does this new camera work?By capturing the light field, you can do incredible things. Like refocus pictures after you take them. Tap the touchscreen on whatever part of the picture you want to bring into focus — or, once a picture is imported into your computer, click to refocus.3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about) the amount of quality it is and how to use it correctly
4. Is it worth the money? i mean it all depends on the person buying it to me its not but maybe to someone else it is.


1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully) her eye brows neck eyes noes lips chin were all altered so she looks nothing like before

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not? no because its false advertisement and that is wrong plus way to bring down women's self esteem guys

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? i guess say she got kidnapped and thats the photo they gave them of her or she wins a contest beau of that photo and its not even her

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? the ones with the makeup and hair are okay but once they used the computer to change her facial structure it made it  horrible thing

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. fashion photography is altered to make the subject beautiful while photo journalism finds the beauty in the photo it captures

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? it shows us the nature of things and people but sometime they are both used in the wrong way and the right way to say someones photo is or is not ethnically wrong depends on the viewer since we all have different perspective on the topic 

American Soldier slide show and captions (review)

Part 1

A. I believe photo 17 is the most powerful because you can see the fear in his eyes but also the determination behind it. 

B. 

Set #1 At home in Denver - Image #1 to image #9

Set #2 At Basic Training - Image #10 to image #50
Set #3 In Iraq - Image #51 to image #70
Set #4 Back in Denver - Image#71 to image #83

I feel like the basic training images were most powerful to me because a lot of sad moments were on there.

C. They work together because its telling the story before and after he went to the army it also showed details from the middle of that like him going to church or him getting talking to his girlfriend about their problems.

Part 2

A. The verbs tense are usually written in present tense for example, " Ian races straight for an embrace with Devin."

B. They enhance the photographs by helping the person seeing the picture understand what happened at that moment why did they take the photo.

Part 3

A. Image 79

Tuesday october 5th Ian holds his girlfriend for the first time in a year, since he's been gone in iraq. 

B. Image 83

Shortly weeks after Ian arrived from iraq him and his new wife move in together and discuss what kind of furniture would be nice in their new house.

C. Image 2

Ian finally graduates and receives his diploma May 31, 2007 and is finally ready to join the army.

Part 4

A. They enhance photography by allowing you to have more then one option maybe you want photos so you can post it on the wall ore maybe you want videos to capture the memory and live that exact moment again after watching the video. 

B. Videos are better then photos because they actually capture the moment and the talking so you can know what exactly happened like in "Coming home" you see all the emotion going on.

C. Photos are better then videos because photos are faster to see and they still capture the moment even without the talking.

self portrait and portraits part 2 AND rules of photography part 2

1 - Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

2- Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.

3-You can create an especially revealing self-portrait by adding personal memorabilia surrounding your mirrored image, such as photos of yourself at various stages of your life, or anything that tells the viewer about your interests. 

i liked this one because it like mixed his face together to make some cray "monster  looking creature" haha

environmental portraits-> 

i choose this photo because of the guitars. they all have  so many different designs, colors and textures and looks that it captures your eyes

this guy is falling i thought it was funny.

here it shows him in two different scenarios the one in the mirror is getting ready for work while the there one is not so it makes it seem as if he is fighting a self conflict and it intrestests me because i can make my own  story about this











i think i would like to do an environmental portrait. I'm thinking taking a shot of someone enjoying a game of basket ball  or a tennis match at a school game whenever its possible to get that image.

casual portrait




i choose this one because the family looked really happy together




i choose this one because the baby was cute
