Lytro warm up

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? When I clicked on the photo, the background became more clear and the objects in front became more blurry.
2. How does this new camera work?
3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)
4. Is it worth the money?

Fashion
1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully) They covered up the blemishes and marks on the ladies face. Added a lot of make up, fixed he hair how they wanted it, added fake eyelashes, after the photo shoot, they raised her features and her neck and fixed her hair to match the new length they added. Made her image more beautiful and clear.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not? No, young girls around the world are becoming depressed and it's getting real because they are trying so hard to look like the image they see here. But if they could see that model's appearances have been altered, they would know that they are still beautiful and perfect as is, because there's nothing special behind all that make up.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? No

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? The make-up was okay and the hair was very acceptable. They put a lot of make up but it wasn't cloggy and it was smooth. When they used technology to raise her features and neck that wasn't okay at all.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. In fashion photography you have amodel that is posing for those pictures trying to be perfected. In photojournalism  it's not so much about the look of the subject of the image but about the image as a whole.

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