Fashion Photography

1.  The model's lips were made fuller, eyes were moved and enlarged, face was made skinnier,  and there were more shadows on her face.

2. The model's skin tone was changed, lips were darkened, nostrils were made a different size, eyebrows moved, eyes enlarged, pupils were made smaller, shoulders were moved up, boobs and stomach were made smaller, thighs were made smaller, legs were lengthened and made thinner, neck was lengthened and made thinner, butt was made smaller, hair was made lighter and whole complexion was made lighter as well.

3. The model's butt was made smaller, thighs and legs were made thinner, waist was made thinner, ankles were made thinner, armpit fat disappeared, arm was made skinnier, hair was lengthened, back was made thinner, boobs were made fuller and smaller.

4. It is not okay to change a person's appearance like that because it changes how they look completely.

5. It is more ethically wrong the more changes there are. For example, if the model's hair was slightly edited that would be more okay than changing the model's figure completely like in the third video.

6. Small changes in small parts of the model are more okay like hair, but changing the model's appearance to make them look "better" isn't.

7. Fashion photography focuses on fashion and people and there might be more opportunities to
wrongly use photoshop.

8. Photojournalism is more used in news so it would have to be more ethical and less photoshopped where as fashion photography may focus more on making people look good so they could be less ethical.

9. You may have showed us these videos to show us how not to photoshop/how photoshop may be overused and not ethical.

10. These videos aren't about guys because generally girls because people may want girls to look skinnier and have nice eyebrows but still have curves whereas guys don't have "curves".

My Favorite Cover

The New York Times Magazine, November 24, The Flight Risk

Photographer: Martin Schoeller

Designer: Arem Duplessis

"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

I think this is a really nice magazine cover because the lighting, exposure and colors are all really nice. The words really pop and the simplicity of the cover make everything really easy and interesting to look at. I also like how the title is centered and how her competition gear is red and blue, so it gives it a pop of color. I like the way the subject, Sarah Hendrickson, is looking directly at the camera because it gives the picture a more intense mood, as opposed to if she were looking off to the side or something. It shows the subject's determined mood. This is a really nice magazine cover overall because of the colors, simplicity and lighting.

Magazine Tips

When designing a magazine cover, you should:
1. The cover should stand out vividly and be blended by color.
2. It can be simple or have as many pictorial and verbal appeals as possible, using every color.
3. Have a lot of coverlines.
4. Make sure the cover has familiar recognition every issue (the logo).
5. Make sure the cover is emotionally irresistible and arouses curiosity.

American Soldier Slide Show and Captions

I think this picture is most powerful because it shows how war effects the youth and how people are impacted by war.

Home in Denver: #1-7

At Basic Training: #8-30

At Fort Carson: #31-50

In Iraq: #51-70

Back in Denver: #71-82

I think the pictures taken at basic training were most powerful because they showed how Ian transformed and changed and they captured a lot of emotion. 

The pictures work together to tell a picture because there is a beginning, middle and end and the viewer can see how Ian transformed throughout the span of two years.

The verbs are usually written in present-tense.

The captions allow the viewer to understand what is happening in the pictures instead of having to guess.

Ian peacefully naps on his bed while waiting for his mission. He decided to nap after doing grueling amounts of work.

Joe and Allan start to cry while saying goodbye to their friend, Ian. They found out that they wouldn't see him again for another year.

Ian enjoys a smoke while at home in Illinois with his father and girlfriend McKayla. He had just gotten back from his mission.
