Fashion Photography

1. The models neck was elongated and her neck and face were made to be a bit skinnier. They also made her eyes bigger and also made her lips appear bigger. One other thing they was add more makeup to the makeup she already had on.

2. Her legs were elongated along with her neck. She was made to look skinnier and slimmer and her hair and skin was lightened. With her face, they mad her eyes bigger, lips bigger, and nose thinner. This shows what peoples perception of beauty is and how messed up it is to see people that aren't naturally like this as ugly.

3. The model was made to appear much much thinner than she really was. They engaged her breasts a  bit and took away any blemishes on her body. They also added more hair on her head since she didn't have much.

4. I don't think it is ethically acceptable because it distorts peoples perception of beauty and make them feel bad about themselves and lowers some peoples self esteem. The models also end up looking almost like an entirely different person.

5. If only small minor changes were made to the photo where a lot more natural beauty was shown then I think it would be okay. But also if the camera made a mess up i think it would be okay to fix a camera or lighten guess up.

6. I think adding a bit more lighting and brightness to a photo is okay because sometimes a picture can appear darker than it is. I also think fixing any mess ups the camera made is okay.

7. fashion photography involves a lot more models and photoshop and making things look perfect and pleasing to the eye. Photojournalism is a lot more natural and captures things that go on around us or stories of people or objects without much photoshop.

8. Fashion photography distorts reality and perception of beauty and sets high unrealistic standards for young girls. Photojournalism is more real and can touch people in many ways and set realistic standards for many things.

9. We are being shown these videos to learn about the fashion photography world and how different it is and what is going on in that world and how unrealistic these models are becoming to look.

10. They aren't about guys because males aren't being changed as drastically and the females are being shown because they are trying to set the beauty standards higher and women are more exposed and put out there.

Portrait and self portraits

3 Tips
Framing
1.You could do it by placing your subject in a window or doorway, have them look through a small gap or even use their hands around their face.
Playing with eye contact
2. Have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera.
Backgrounds
3. Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky. A light, stucco wall, a sidewalk, or any other simple background can suffice. 

Environmental portraits 
 I chose this photo because it shows a man down this work in dusty room, showing realness and nothing fake because it is capturing his true self. 
I chose this photo because it is showing the true joy of this man and the environment he is in. It is also very bright and look cheery. 

Self portraits 
 I chose this photo because it captures the girls emotions and who she is just by on simple photo. 
I chose this photo because i think its very creative how she used a slow shutter speed and moved her head to get a blur effect on one part of her body. 

Casual portrait 
 I chose this photo because it is very bright and casual and not too much is going on in the background. 
I chose this photo because it is very simple and casual and shows the girl in a semi blurred background. 

Paragraph
I will shoot photos of my best friend that i think i could get really good pictures of, during the day outside with natural light. I will also shoot som edurin sunset to get cool effects and maybe even try and see if i could get a picture where she appears dark and you can see her silhouette.

American Soldier

A. The girl in Iraq shows the most powerful image because it shows what its like in Iraq and how things are over there.

B. The images show what he's been through and they show the hard times and the struggles of being in the army. It also showed the good times and he still got to see his family and friends.

C. The captions give a backstory and tell the true meaning of the photo and  bring the photo alive a bit more.

D. Ian was a high school graduate who joined the army because he wanted too help the country. He joined right as violence in Iraq was getting bad and would later be deployed to Iraq in 2008. He enjoyed time with friends and family before leaving and was sad to go but excited to do something great for the country. He experienced intense training and thought he wasn't going to make it through but he made it through even though he suffered from an old injury that returned. Fisher went up some ranks and was very happy to participate in training exercises that were just like the real thing. Ian suffered drug use and eventually turned himself in, not getting kicked out but pushed down a rank. He went to Iraq for a year and came back to his girlfriend and family, then soon married his girlfriend and was very happy.

E. It is usually in present tense.

F. 1. The sentences on average o=are 2 sentences.
2. They tell what is going on in the picture.
3. Who people are and what is going to happen next or before.
4. Quotes from people in the image about what is going on in the image.
5. Some captions do include quotes.
6. Yes some do have 4 sentences.

G. I think you can tell a story through captions because the image os there and seeing the image along  with a few sentences can really tell a great story.

H. Sometimes a story is great to read and create your own visuals in your mind.
