Ethics In Fashion Photography

1) They made her freckles disappear, put ALOT of make up, added fake eye lashes. Edited it on the computer. Made her neck longer. Made her eyes bigger. Tanned he skin more.

2) It's not ok because at the end it changes her appearance. She doesn't look the same as she normally did. At the end it's pretty much all fake.

3) It can be worse I guess like changing more things about a models face. Much worse could of been a full body picture. They probably would of changed her curves in some other way, coulc of made them bigger or smaller.

4) The ok changes would be if it was a give away picture and you want to change something of your appearance. But I think it would be better if you didn't change anything because it would be all naturual.

5) There is a big difference between photography for journalism and fashion. Journalism photo's are pictures that inspire you or others. Pictures you take just the way they look. Fashion is pictures that arn't real. Pictures that get edited in every single little thing.

6) Photography has a real close realtionship to reality because it affects girls in reality. This affects the paractice ethical of each because sometimes it's not right because it effects us girls in so many ways. It can make us go through hard things in life and make our life worse.

Negatives Evaluation

I think all of my pictures turned out pretty good. Not like professional pictures but good enought for academic subject.

I think picture number 20 will come out the best because it has academic subject and it's a pretty good picture after all. It's like in the corner and it's not blurry.. I think it's not.

I think it has good focus, and thats because she wasn't really moving. My picture doesn't look blurry and it's focused on each corner that I can tell of.

I think it's in the rule of thirds and it's in simplicity because you can tell what I'm aiming for. (The girl)



Photo Manipulation And Ethics

Kahana and other photographers manipulate images which is not a good thing. Like Brian Walski, he got fired because of putting two images together which were tooken at two different times. For example, Allan Detrich manipulated an image and made it seem like every one was praying when they weren't. About 79 photos were manipulated that year.

I don't think this is acceptable because things can happen if people do this. Like maybe a war thinking that something in that  photo actually happened. And your changing photos and that isn't right.

I think this one was the most unethical because it can make people think that the soilders are bad people in some ways. And can change peoples thoughts about soilders in the army and whatever. It also makes the soilder look bad.

I think this is the least unethical because they fixed her teeth! I mean who wouldn't want their teeth fixed on the picture, especially since the whole world is going to see it. I don't think this was a bad problem because it doesn't really make a difference. It actutally makes the picture better. It's not as bad as the others because the others have to do with government and all those high top subjects.

Drug Cartels In Mexico

I think that Juarez, Mexico is a "sad city" because there is so much killing every week. Even students bearly in college are dying at such a young age. Being shot is especially a bad thing to end with. The cartels are dangerouse people and kill people real easily without people catching them. They kill families if you pretty much mess with them or whatever. Antebi is also really careful in taking pictures of officers because their families can be murdered, etc. I wouldn't like to live there, I'd probably be dead in about a year if I messed with Cartels.

1)"The average ordinary resident of Juarez, their life is in danger every day."

2)"You just never know if some distant cousin, perhaps, has done something, and someone is exercising revenge on them by killing you."

3)"Only in Juarez do the good guys wear masks."

These quotes are sentences Jeff Antebi said. And I agree with them because since reading that short story about Juarez, Mexico... it tell's alot. And It would really be sad and scary living there. In sentence 1, Antebi is saying that Juarez is a dangerouse place to live in according to the daily basis scheadule that happens. In the 2nd sentence, he is saying that what if someone you know did something so the cartels want to take revenge on your family and that family member ends up being you, that would be freakin scary! But of course it wouldn't to you (the person they kill) because you would be dead to even think about it! On the 3rd sentence, he is saying that the good guys are the ones who have to wear the masks! Now thats horrible. They have to wear them so their families wont be murdered. Thats really horrible that the good guys are the ones wearing the masks.

My favorite picture was the third picture. Not because he's dead or anything, but because it tells alot and shows how people are left in the middle of the dessert murdered. The photographer used simplicity. Well besides the car in the back, which frame the picture. I like this picture because it's in black and white and shows that the picture is sad and dead. It doesn't have color, because that would be maybe an i don't care or happy picture. This is an interesting picture to me because if we read the story and needed a picture to go with it, this would be a perfect picture for the finishing picture.

Summary

Focus the light using a knob usually found just to the right of the lens until a rectangle of even light covers the baseboard. Switch off the enlarger light. Place a sheet of print paper on the baseboard, emulsion, or shiny side, up. Place negatives emulsion-side-up on top of the print paper and lay a piece of glass over the negatives to hold them in place. Set the enlarger timer for 10 seconds. Time will vary depending on the density of the negative. Switch on the timer. After the print paper has been exposed, remove it and place it in a developer tray.

Resin-coated paper stays in the developer 1 minute, while fiber-based paper stays in for 2 or more minutes. Take the paper out of the developer with tongs. Let all excess liquid drain off of the paper before placing it in the stop bath tray. Place in stop bath tray, leaving resin-coated paper in the stop bath for 15 seconds and fiber-based paper for 30 seconds. Take paper out of the stop bath and place in fixer for 1 to 2 minutes for resin-coated paper and 2 to 10 minutes for fiber-based paper. Remove from fixer and place in wash for 2 to 5 minutes when using resin-coated paper and 30 to 60 minutes when using fiber-based paper. Take out of wash and place on drying cabinet.

Emulsion

A composition sensitive to some or all of the actinic rays of light, consisting of one or more of the silver halides suspended in gelatin, applied in a thin layer to one surface of a film or the like.

Aperture

Also called aperture stop . Optics . an opening, usually circular, that limits the quantity of light that can enter an optical instrument.

Masking Easel

Baseboard of an enlarger that holds photographic paper flat during exposure.

Exposure

The image resulting from the effects of light rays on a photosensitive surface.

Safe Light

A darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.

Dodging

Also, hold back. Photography . (in printing) to shade (an area of a print) from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area.

Burning

Burn in, Photography . (in printing) to expose (one part of an image) to more light by masking the other parts in order to darken and give greater detail to the unmasked area. Also, print in.

Post Shoot Reflection

It was hard because there was always people moving. I took pictures mainly of people "acting" they were working. Since they knew we were talking pictures of people doing something. I forgot the word. But they actutally look pretty realistic. Hopefully they came out good.

I had kind of trouble on all of the aspects. The camera I had was easy to work with so it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I took pictures where there wasn't much movement and where there was enough light. Not too much nor too little.

I tried to use the rule of thirds alot. Because I think it's the easiest. And the one where it's backround/simple because it's easier in taking the picture without worrying other things that might come in the pictures.

I would feel more comfortable going into classes. And less worry on how i look taking the pictures.. It's because I didn't want to look dumb taking a picture, and like doing a wrong position or whatever. But next time I'll just do whatever so my pictures can come out better :)

Summary

• Go into a room with no light! Open the canister with a can opener. Unroll the film and break off the piece the piece at the end. Put the film in the reel and roll it up. Put it in the developing tank and close it, make sure no light go's in. Then turn on the light.
• Remove the top lid off the developing tank. Pour in 4 oz of developer into a graduated cylinder and then fill it up, up to 32 oz but the rest with water (not hot water, but warm). Agitate the tank for 30 seconds and then let sit rest for 6.5 minutes if your temperature is about 75 degrees. Pour out the liquid.
• Pour in stop bath until it fills up and agitate for two minutes then let sit for two minutes. Pour it out.
• Fill up all the way with fixer. Agitate for 1 minute and let sit for 1 minute. Pour fixer back into its bottle.
• Remove the lid and let water run in it for 15 mintues. Then add wetting agent to the water to expedite the drying. Remove the film from the tank.
• Attach a clip to the end of the film, pull the film off the reel and attach another clip at the opposite end.
• Hang the film in a dry, dust-free area. Store dry negatives in plastic negative sleeves.

What The Pros Are Doing- Repetition



Red Eye
An anti-government "red shirt" protester scans the area surrounding the protestors' barricaded encampment in the financial district of Bangkok.

The color of the circles on the boniculars makes the picture stand out. It's framed by a persons arms and head. The color makes the picture stand out and gets the viewers attention right away. Like, "center of attention".

Bridging Generations
Abu Mousa, a Jordanian coal merchant, shakes hands with a boy in his shop in Amman.

The different skin colors of the man's and boy's skin complet the picture. Two different colors mixed together catches a persons attention. In which makes it a good picture.

Satellite
A jet is silhouetted on the full moon in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The shape of the moon is a circle but doesn't fit all the way in the picture.. which makes it seem its really big. The air plane in front of the moon makes the moon more interesting to look at. Makes me pay attention to more of what colors the moon has.
