Harpers Bazaar, which debuted in 1867 as Americas first fashion magazine, celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1992, and the September 1992 issue under legendary Editor-in-Chief Liz Tilberiss direction heralded one of the most dramatic magazine reinventions in history. Tilberis helped transform the magazine from an also-ran fashion magazine into the one of the most cutting-edge and experimental of the big fashion glossiesillustrated by the creative typeface and avant-garde image of Linda Evangelista on the September magazine cover.

This is a good picture because you can kinda tell what the model is feeling and her emotions,I especially like the black in in the picture it is a good contrast against the black. the picture also looks very 50`s and i like that.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

Ilike both of these pictures because i like the wedding dress, and the lady staring at it. in the second one i like what the girls are wearing.

• Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.
• It helps if you can get a friend to be a stand-in until you can be there, or mark your spot with tape or chalk. Use a tripod. Seriously.

•  While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.

Environmental portrait

photography self portrait

casual portrait

I like both of these pictures because the first one is really cool, espeacially the effects it has. and the second one is just silly

I like both pictures because the baby is really adorable, and the other one looks really retro.

I will shoot venessa, outside in the courtyard, use good lighting and angles, keep the photography rules in mind.

Potraits & Self-Protraits.

I think good lighting makes a good photo. The picture needs to capture the audiences attention. Good background, and interesting subject. What also makes a good picture is clarity, the viewer needs to be a able to tell what your subject was.

If I had the camera in my hands i would like to do self-potraits because i think its easier to capture my emotions and what im feeling then it would be capturing others.

Ethics in Fashion Photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer.
Her eyes were made  eyes bigger and her neck longer.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
No, because 1, thats kind of telling the model she isnt good enough....& 2, it gives little girl the wrong idea of what beuty really is.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Yeah when you try to do a before-after and completely lie and change the picture completely.

Like say she has a fly-away hair, its not so bad to change that and make it better.
When you completely change the persons apperance to suit your definition of beauty.

Fashion photography is when your trying to start a trend or when your trying to sell something. Photojornalism is like pictures of  real life.

Photojournalism are pictures of reality, and the world... Fashion photography is somebodys opinion of reality.

That photo editing is bad at some extent. Some very famous photographers have lost their jobs due to editing. You cant change the pictures just cause you want.

B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
Its unethical especially if the pictures are for a serious newspaper because the readers want to read and see what actually happend not just what the photographer wanted them to see.

 Because they completely lied and said that the student was actually at the football game. they also lied just to attract more people to their college.

B. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others.

Is not that bad because all they did was change the way her teeth looked. sure they lied, but they only did it to make her look a lil bit nicer

National Geographic Warm-Up

1. Post your favorite photo.

2. Tell me why this is your favorite photo.
I like this photo because it kinda looks fake. Everything is so still. I also like the water squirt it has, i think thats pretty cool. I also like animals which is why i picked it.

3. Think about your world, what photo would you take to submit to this photo contest?
I would take a picture of a white tiger about to catch its prey.

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.
I would like to visit the theme parks that are on different parts of the world because they have different stuff.
The theme parks in America usually have the same kind of roller coasters and attractions. Plus in the other theme parks that are around the world have more interesting backgrounds/ reasons why they were closed. In America theme parks the story usually is that they became less popular and was forced to closed.2. Post one photo from that park.

3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.

• Abandoned Malls
• Haunted/Old/Abandoned  Hotels
• Old Skateparks
• Buildings After Fires
• Rusted Cars

4. Use google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.

5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.

 I would like to take pictures there because i feel that hotels have a lot of stories behind them, and when they were abandoned then it means that some of the evidence for those stories were left behind. I would expect to take alot of pictures of vintage stuff

6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot.
I would take alot of shorts since those place wont have air-conditioning. i would have to pay for the hotel, airplane tickets, and my food. I would probably have to get permission from either city or the owner cause those places tend to be closed off and are private areas.

American Soldier

The picture where Ian comes back from iraq and he is seating down all by himself with his head down smoking a cigarette, while his brother is walking towards him and his girlfriend is going back inside.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
I think its the Army Blues because it has all different kinds of emotions. In some pictures hes laughing having fun with his friends and in others he is frustated and sad.

c. How do the images work together to tell a story?
They start from the beginning, to explain in a sequence what Ian has been through in the army.

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?
Mostly in the Present tense.

Africa Powerpoint

1. Reactions to the power point

I really liked the power point. The photographer used the rule of simplicity a lot and I really liked that.

2. What was your favorite photo? Describe it and tell me why its your favorite

My favorite photo was of an elephant drinking water. the photographer took the picture right in front of the elephang so it looked cool because it showed the water and the background was simple.

3. Look up the photographer –

a.     What kind of camera did he use?

Pentax 67II

b.     What is his reason for taking the photos?

He feels that wildlife in africa is decreasing so he wants to capture all of the wildlife to have a reminder

c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos?

That people will see his pictures and do something to change the poblem

d.     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog

"As for Africa, I went there in 1995 to direct one of the videos they did for Michael Jackson. And I absolutely fell in love with the place.  It was completely magic to me. I had to go back on holiday and that’s when I started taking my Pentax with me. I just realized there is a way of expressing my feelings without the need of somebody else’s money.  Initially, it cost a lot.  I had to direct stupid car commercials to pay for these expensive trips. I could never have taken these photos the normal way, like most wildlife photographers."

4. Find one of his photos that you really like and post it on your blog.

Academic Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?
It was hard to try and find pictures with framing

 2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
I thought a lot about shooting just the subject and not having all this craziness in the background. I would step farther and just play with the angles and the zoom.


3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

 4. What things would you do the same?
The focus, none of my pictures came blurry.

 5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
Simplicity

 6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
framing

 7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
I understand all of the rules.

Framing

How well did you follow the rule?

I think i followed it well. Everything is leading to the guy in the hallway.
What is the subject (be very very specific)?

The guy in the red shirt walking towards me.Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?

I  like to think so. The lockers, the walls, and the ceiling are all framing that guy.

Balance

How well did you follow the rule?

I think i followed the rule nicely, Theres something in the bottom corner and theres something in the top.
What is the subject (be very very specific)?

The subject is the girl in the front reading her book and the rest of the three kids in the back.

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?

Not really because there is so much going on.
