Top 100 Photos

This monk is so calm, and collected that fire doesn't even bother him. It's almost amazing but devastating. --Malcolm Browne 1963

This caught my eye for the obvious reasons. They strung a gorilla,  a 350 pound gorilla to some stalks of wood and started to carry across supposedly the 'Congo'. Do people even eat gorilla meat? --Brent Stilton 2007

Just everything about this picture is so comically wild, and you just don't know what to look at first. The animals? The water? The chair or the guy?--Philippe Halsman 1948

There's were a lot of pictures of sinful deeds and mourning. The world isn't a good place, and there's horrible news everywhere at all times. It kind of baffles me to come across Windblown Jackie along with murder and unhealthily thin people. Why can't the news report the important things? Instead of radio hosts, we should talk about net neutrality. --Ron Galella 1971

This picture is just really sad, and I can't stop looking at it.-John Paul Filo 1970

Beauty

1. The changes done to the models was stretching her neck a little, for a taller height, lips, shoulders, making the eyes a little bigger, slimming her shoulders, I think they thinned her face just a little, tanned her face. 

2. Skin, butt, legs, feet, head, neck. 

3. The third video, I actually watched before, had a woman, no doubt beautiful, slowly shaping and colored strangely until finally it bestowed its final form: A pizza. It's amazing and scary what Photoshop can handle. 

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
 Only if they request it, but otherwise, no.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
 If the model, or person in the picture says like, "hey, that rash on my arm is gross, can you get rid of it".

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
 Little changes, like finger nails are dirty, or pimples. Moles, skin and shape aren't okay.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
 Fashion photography mainly focuses on fashion, thus the name, and photojournalism is just reporting a story with a non-manipulated photo along with it.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
 

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
  To show us what Photoshop can do and what the fashion industry does.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???
  Feminism. 

Picture Tips/Portraits/

1. Alter Your Perspective "Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor."

2. Play with Eye Contact"It is amazing how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. Most portraits have the subject looking down the lens – something that can create a real sense of connection between a subject and those viewing the image. But there are a couple of other things to try"

"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. Just be sure there aren't a lot of distractions around the surface you choose."

PORTRAITS

I liked this photo because of the ropes perspective, and the background.




I like this one because the rule of thirds, is my favorite rule. And diners are pretty cool. 

PHOTOGRAPHY SELF PORTRAIT 

I chose this picture because even though it cuts off his head a little, it really shows the emotions of teenagers during class, and all time, everyday. And he is  quite the looker. 

I always wonder how they do this. Like, where's the camera?






CASUAL PORTRAITS

 Just nice, pretty simple.

Looking away from the camera, a little change in angle.
