Portraits and Self-Portraits

This is my favorite self-portrait photo.




This is my favorite portrait of Annie Leibovitz.

A good picture will have good creativity and be unique. It will follow the rules of photography. The art will show and inspire people. The person in the picture which can be you should be shown as the main art of the picture or the theme. A good picture should reflect you, who you are as a person.
i personally would like to take a self-portriat photo because its easier to represent and express yourself .

Abandoned amusement parks

1. Okpo Land, South Korea because accidents actually happened there and they havent moved anything its all how it was.

3. Hospital, Store, woods, six flags, disney land.
4.
5. I think it would be fun to document this location because its a old strange hospital.
We could take pictures of different rooms in the hospital, their tools, beds, equipments.
we would probably find doors broken, walls scatched up, graffti, creepy stuff. its haunted so it can be fun.
6. i would need a ticket to east L.A. , money, a camera i wont need permission or anything to go in its unlocked.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Cloning over people in a portrait is a terminal offense at most U.S. daily newspapers, image manipulation.
Brian Walski combined elements of two photographs of a British soldier, taken moments apart, in order to improve the composition of the image. But instead he got fired from his job and lost credibility.

B. Its not real and you are using two photos to make one photo better.

i think this is the least unethical because they just changed her teeth.
And it actually makes them look better.

I think this photo is unethical because its two pictures put into one.
They show the soldier telling him to sit down from the first picture and the guy up with his baby from the second picture.

National Geographic Warm-up and Photo Manipulation and Ethics



This is my favorite photo because the effects and how it shows two settings.
It kind of seems like your in two places at the same time so its pretty cool.
Also it looks like you can actually see the wind outside.

3. I would take a photo of the sunset because its beautiful.



ethics in fashion photography

1. They made her neck longer, her eyes wider and bigger, her lips bigger, and her hair look like it has more volume and darker.
2. No because it looks nothing like the girl naturally does they changed everything it lowers girls confidence by looking at this picture thinking its real when its all fake.
3.  I think pictures should show things and  people naturally.
4. Its okay if they change the little stuff and you still look like yourself. Like the lighting and cropping is okay to change
5.  In fashion photography they make you look perfect, in photojournalism its natural. Photojournalism is more realistic while fashion photography is fake.

American Soldier

2A. The most powerful image in the slideshow i think is the one that has a shirt that says "Kristen" and "I Love You , Come Back To Me ! "
2B. The sequence of photos that is most powerful is "life in Iraq" because it showstheir life and what they do.
2C. The images work together to tell a story by showing you their different sequence they go through.
3A.Present tense.
3B. The captions tells you what is happening to the picture or the meaning.
4. Chapter 7 picture 9.
Robert is eating when his teams gets called for a mission he runs to see what is going on.

5A. they get to talk about how he feels and stuff.
5B. Videos give you more the emotions they feel .
5C. Photos give you beter image of what they go threw.
