Fashion

1. they lifted her eyes, they made them bigger, and made her lips fuller, and lifted her whole face.
2. No, its not because its incur-ringing girls to try to look the same way.
3. No there shouldn't be any circumstances with any of that because not only everyone else that sees it but the girl herself too doesn't even look like that in real life and it might even drop her self esteem.
4. That they put make up on her and fixed her hair is fine, but changing her eyes and her neck and lips, the girl just doesn't look like the same person.
5. Fashion photography is photographs of "beautiful" people, really changing their appearance, and photojournalism is photographs of real things.
6. fashion photography is not real, its not ethically right. and in my opinion photojournalism photography is ethically correct.

Lytro Warm-up

1. when ever i clicked on any part of the camera it changed (:
2. it focuses really good on what you want it to and blurs the background.
3. he needs to know the settings and how person being captured want it to look.
4. No, i don't think its worth the money. you can do pretty much the same thing with other cameras.

Self Portrait and Portraits part 2

1.Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.
2. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made.
Environmental Portrait:
i liked the way the girl was standing, and the colorful balloons at the cemetery.
i liked how the sunset looked, how they took a photo of the photographer doing his job. Just the background was beautiful.
Photography Self Portrait:
I liked the way the girl was holding the paper, and also that it was creative to take the photograph like that.
i really liked this photograph, because its showing his manly side, but yet he has eyelashes and the way he's holding his cigar and the position of his hand..
i picked this photo cause the guy looked cute. 
i liked this photo, the little girl looked pretty.

If i were to shoot someone for this project, i would shoot myself if it were possible, either that or Stacey. I would like to shoot outside because of the lighting. I would use props and maybe do a facial expression to make it fun.








American Soldier

  • This is an important picture because Ian looks ready to move into a higher rank, and he looks happy and excited for the next thing.
  • Its a short series.
  • Set 1: Images 1-8
  • Set 2: 9-30
  • Set 3: 51-71
  • Set 4: 72-83
  • To me, the most powerful set of images would have to be the 4th set because its when Ian gets back and gets married and realizes that he missed a lot of people.
  • They followed him and the pictures told a story of how he went through with all of it.
4. A. They tell you a little more than the pictures, you can actually hear their voices and what they thought.
B. You can actually hear whats going on,and what they think.
C. It captures moments that you can't really see in videos.
