Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Product validity has become  big issue when photographers photoshop photos. Photo manipulation is mainly used to increase sales. When people use photoshop they "wreak havoc" on hardworking journalists.

B.  They give all of their photographers specific guidelines that they have to follow.

C.  I think that you could use very little manipulation if your going to use it.

D. I think that this is the worst picture manipulated because the photographer made such a big change. The photographer also changed the position and altered with it too much.










E. In my opinion this photo is least unethical.  I think this because it shows the least amount of change and is still the same picture. For example, the picture above has a lot of things changed. On the other hand, the one down here has only the color changed.

Academic Shoot reflection and critique

1. Some challenges i encountered when i went out to shoot was the amount of space i had. I feel like if an academic event was going on i could have got some really good shots.

2. I wanted to get some horizontal photos because i wanted to mix it up but unfortunately i couldn't get any.

3. I would have went into more classes and got some good horizontal photos. Also i wanted to use at least 3 rules in one photo.

4. I would keep the multiple rules in each picture the same.

5.  I think the rule of lines would be the easiest to accomplish.

6. I think the avoiding mergers would be pretty difficult especially if you in a small compact space like in a classroom or small hallway.

7. I'm still a little confused on the rule of balance. I could just reread the slides on balance if i want to 100% understand it.

Academic photoshopped photos

This picture uses uses the rule of lines because of the lines in the background. The subjects in this picture in this picture are the trophies. It is clear what the subjects are in this photo because of the shininess in the trophies. If the subjects in this photo weren't  clear then i would have taken this photo in a less complicated/distracting background.










This picture uses the rule of balance and simplicity. The subject in this photo is the kid and his private instruction teacher. It is pretty clear what the subject in this photo is in this picture because the subject stands out. If the subject wasn't clear in this photo then i would have taken out the mergers surrounding the photo creating a border.











This picture uses the rule of thirds and lines. The subject in this photo is the kids in the left corner. It is really clear that the subject in this photo are the kids because the floor is really plain and simple. If the subject isn't clear then you would probably want a less complicated background.
