PORTRAITS

I think what really makes a good photo is when there is a lot of stuff going on in a picture. It reels you in so that you can figure out what all is happening in the photo. I also what makes a good picture is something unique, something you don't see in your everyday picture. I'm still deciding but I think that I am going to do a portrait of someone else. I want my picture to focus on framing and simplicity, because I usually don't like simplicity and I want to see if I can take a picture that will be different from all the others.

Akins Freshman Basketball Player, Jenny Green, goes for a lay-up during the Akins vs. Lake Travis game.

fashion manipulation

-Her hair was changed, they made her neck longer, her face skinnier, and made her eye line go up a little more. Also, they made her eyebrows wider.

-I do not think that it is okay to change a persons appearance for a photo. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and I personally think that without the editing she looked better.

-It sends the wrong message out to people, I think that making someone skinnier and changing their appearance is just plain wrong

-I think that fixing small blemishes and whitening teeth are okay but changing their entire face, and making them skinnier or thicker is not

-fashion photography is on fashion, photo j is on anything like even landscapes and nature

-i don't really think it shows reality because they make these people so pretty, and they don't really even look like that

photo manipulation

A. The University of Wisconsin basically did false advertisement. They took a picture and then added a black guy so that it would look as if they are a diverse school. The university officials didn't really see anything wrong with it at the time, but after the media found out about it they regretted doing it. Now, they are thinking about reprinting all of the brochures.

B. I think that it should be allowable only because the picture of the black person was actually a student of that same university. If it would have just been some random person from somewhere else though, I would have thought it wouldn't be allowable.


















A. I think the most unethical photo manipulation picture is the one with Oprah Winfrey. They put her head on some other girls body. I would personally be insulted if is was Oprah. It seems like their saying "We don't like your body but we need your face, so lets just use some others girls body since its nice."

















B. I think that the National Geographic one is okay. All they did was just move the two pyramids a little close so you could see both of them on the cover.
