Fashion Ethics.

watch this video to understand the following blog.




A few changes that were made to the model's appearence.

- Her neck was made longer.
- Her shoulders were pushed down.
- Her eyes were made bigger.
- Her cheek bones were pushed inward.

It is ethically okay to change her appearence this way. But it is wrong to lie, using the photo as 'proof'. If they were to say that their product made her beautiful,(as that ad implies, although that is beside the point.) then that editing would be ethically wrong. The difference between fashion photography, and photojournalism, is that as journalists we must never lie to our readers, but in the fashion industry, they lie all the time, but it is looked over because its just appearences.

Photojournalism Ethics.

I believe that there is an extent to which one should go with editing. A photojournalist should never ridicule, dishonor or disgrace a picture that has to do with important, emotional or touchy subject matters.

Bonus sentence using the words excessively and detect.

I excessively use my spyware blocker to detect viruses, because I fear my computer crashing.

Ethical rules should be situational, because a list of absolute rules cannot detail exactly what is okay in exactly every situation.
A photo can capture some of the truth, but it cannot speak because it's a picture, therefore, it is the photojournalist's great responsibility to explain the whole truth. This can be done in a caption or be read in a news bulletin.

Funny Picture.

Nobody suspected the dog was in possesion of some illegal catnip.

Sunny delight manufactuers finally figured out how to literally "Taste the power of the sun" so as to boost sales.

What happened after these toursists let local homeless people wipe their car windshield and didn't pay up.

Repetition.

The repetition is evident in this photo because of the many chairs that are aligned in a pattern, and repeating.

This a very good case of repetition. You can see the performers holding up the blue tarps and they are in order in a way that repeats.

This is a clear example of repetition, you can clearly see the many televisions that are exactly the same, and they seem to be repeating. That is repetition.

A. What skills in addition to photography did Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slideshow?

Melanie Burford used her skill of caring and interest to produce the slideshow. Otherwise it wouldn't have had the same response as it did. She really cared about that piece and it came out in the work.

B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?

It gave more emotion and heart to the presentation, it made it more heartfelt and people responded with caring and feeling.

The Story.

This is a very good story-telling visual, it portrays the one girl more clearly than all the others who are laughing and chattering, whist she sits and does her work quitely. I think it tells the story of an outcast, who is quite happy to be so. It also blurs all others out, giving a visual message that they arent as important as the girl in the middle, who is in least physical action.

Overall, great picture in that it shows peak of action, it fills the frame, and it has awesome candidness, although you can tell it was staged.

Inspiration blog.

This is the picture that inspires me most, because when you acheive that ability to give somebody goosebumps with a picture, that is a feat, that inspires me to want to do the same. This picture is so haunting, and it makes me feel as if I'm not really awake when I look at it. It feels like a dream, enhanced by the effect of the people fading away.

Pinhole blog

I love this picture simply because it doesn't look like a photo. Its seems as though, upon first glace, the picture is an oil painting. Its aura, the feel of it is beautiful. The sepia tone gives a nostalgic feel that is comforting and breathtaking.

There were others that I did not like, but I was unfortunatly unable to upload them due to technical errors.

The Three Rules of Photojournalism.

This picture correctly follows the three rules of a good photo. Firstly, in this shot, it exhibits what we call 'peak of action'. It means that the photographer snapped it at the height of her emotion, or at the best point of her actions. Secondly, it shows candidness. Which is an important rule to follow, it shows her unknowing that the camera is there, and that also makes this picture a good one. Lastly, photographer made sure they filled the frame. This means that we are looking at the subject and only, the subject. Nothing else that would bring your attention elsewhere. No dead space or other dominant objects in the background. Overall, this a wonderful picture and the photographer really knows their stuff.

This picture, is another matter entirely. The photorapher managed to follow the rule of candidness, which means that the subject is unaware of the camera, and therefore you see the peak of what I call natural action. He doesnt seem to realize there is a camera taking his picture. So this makes it an okay shot. What takes away from that is the fact that the angle is all wrong. There is too much dead space over this head, and that leads your eyes away from what you are supposed to be looking at. That nearly ruins the picture and it needs work.
