Ethics in fashion photograghy

I saw many changes that evolved manipulation. What they did to her photo is they moved her entire head up to make it look like she has a longer neck, they made her eyes bigger/wider, and they moved her shoulders down. No I do not think it is exceptable because when veiwers look at her then her photo, the veiwers are going to think their looking at someone else. Yes, because the people who get caught manipulating photos of modeling people might get fired. I think changing the hair and makeup might be ok but if you are manipulating the hight, size, things like that, it would not be acceptable. Fashion Photograghy is where you go out and take shots of models, models at shows, their dresses, etc. Photojournalisim is where you take B/W photos, journalize, take shots of different objects, people , places, things, ect and process them or turn them to negetives or positves. The relationship of different photograghy tells you what the photogragher is interested in or trying to do. Some examples of different photograghy-shooting,people, places,role models,newspaper, articals,ect.

Negaitive Evaluation

None of them turned out well because they were all blurry when I looked at them closely. All of them, because I did not have the correct focus on because how you use the focus on the camera I was not sure how to use it because I was having a hard time figureing it out. Right now I'm not sure any of them will turn out well because they are all blurry.

Drug cartels in Mexico Post

The characteristics of my favorite photo that I found is the up close scene of the smashed glass on the front of the vehical. The technical aspects the photogragher used on this scene is the ''leading lines'' one. How he made it interesting is he got close enough were the cracks in the glass are easy to veiw by the veiwer. The reson this is my favorite photo because the cracks on the glass form to groups of the same number of cracks and both groups are pointing to the center of the spot where the victom's head smashed. The scattered blood plays a role as well. It seems to lead the veiwer straight to the incident.

The least unethical photo

Im going to consider this the least unethical photo because the minipulator was only manipulating the character's shadows. The photo on the left has brighter shadows which makes it look normal. And the photo on the right it's character's shadows are darker.

Most Unethical Manipulation

I am going to put this in for most unethical because the research I did on this photo is that the pyramids in the backround were moved closer to eachother by the manipulator to fit on the front cover.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

In this story about ditigal minipulation, security found someone at the newspaper developing place was manipulating photos on adobe photoshop. Later they found it was Brian Walski who was manipulating the photos and was fired on Apirl 1 ,2003. They found 920 photos manipulated. On April 1, 2007, the (NPPA) found 79 manipulated photos and considered it an unprecedented amount of violations. 
I consider this type of photo editing to be unethical because it's like a combination of hiding the truth and cheating. The only reason why one would do this because they are hiding the error and pretending to be accurate.

First you put the print into the developer tray for about 1 minute. After this part you take it out with thongs and let all the excess drain off the print. Then you move it to the stop bath tray with tongs. Let is set in the stop bath tray for 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds remove the print and put in fixer for 1 to 2 minutes. Then remove from fixer and place in wash for 2 to 5 minutes. Finally, take out print and let it dry.

Post Shoot Reflection

I did encounter one problem, it is where you look through the camera to get ready to shoot and the screen shows you a full blury screen with a small clear see through circle in the center. But it was easy for me to make my shoots. How I delt  with this problem is I ignored it and took pictures of my subject's faces.
What I was thinking about the most is focus because when I got ready to shoot, I found myself focused only on one part of my subject I would shoot.
I don't think I used any of the advanced compositions because I was mostly focused on shooting.
Learn to use the zoom in and out to get a better view of my subject and put to use an advanced composition I know how to use.
