Ethics

1. Credability to me, means that I am a trustworthy photographer and I use Real Pictures. 2.The Time magazine was changed to make the guy look tough and brave. they changed it by adding a vingette and darker colors. 3. Taste has to do with things that we do not want to see in life and Ethics has to do with lying and decaption. 4. I decide to publish a photo if i think that it is very strong and represents the thing in a positive way. 5. He publishes a photo that has a great impact on the viewer and makes them think. 6. The legs on the lady draws twords her body which we can see is older. Also her arms on the handle bars draws twoards her face too. 7. I think it is okay to change a photo if it enhances it or if there is a blemish that should be removed. 8. Photos are minipulated to add depth and thought to it. they do this because they want the view to change thier perspective. 9. they apply to me all the time because editing photos are all about decision making skills and making the best decision to have the photo look its best. 10. people edit photos to make them look stronger or weaker which can effect society greatly.

Rhythm




For both of the Pictures, I used layer masks. I used the magnet lasso tool to cut around the bodies and shadows, and then just dragged them into the backgound layer. I postioned them so that they look realistic in thier setting. Both of the pictures where taken in Dallas Texas.

Portraits and Lighiting

The photographer of this photo is David Bailey and this is a picture of Will Smith. There isnt anything else besides the person in the picture. His postion in this picture is straight forward. This photo is taken from a perspective of the photogrpher which is right in front of Will. The expression that he has is a very playful and he is pretending to be a monkey. The lighting is coming from the side and back. I think that the lighing on the side is a litle diffuesed. The feeling of this photo is funny and playful. You can tell that he is a funny guy and we all know that he was a comedian on "fresh Prince of Bel Air"



The photographer of this photo is Melissa Louise and this is a picture of Jessica. There isnt anything else in this photo besides her. She is in a very relaxed postion. The photo was taken a little bit above her head. She has a calm expression on her face. The light is coming from the side and forward and there was diffused lighting used. This photo conveys a calm, relaxed feeling. You can tell she is a nice person and maybe a little shy.

White Balance





With the plant photo, I took it on auto with no flash and the bowl of candy was taken also on auto but i used a flash. The plant was edited using vibrance and saturation and the bowl of candy was edited using the curves to create more shadows on it. My plant photo is a vignette with a black outside. It was a little tickey to do on photo shop, but turned out very nicely. The bowl of candy is a "cloned" picture. I added a red sugary heart to the middle of the bowl, and as you can tell, its hard to tell which one was cloned.

I think that both of my pictures look really good and I think that I did a really good job. I think that both have good compostion and I think that I used the two techniques very accuratly. I dont think that I would change anything about my photos. I was actually surprised by the nice quality of both pictures.

A Day in the Life-Maizy


When taking this picture, I got low on the ground and there was one of my gods toys laying on the ground. The sun was shinning perfectly in my path. I took the poicture with an ISO of 200 and 800. This one is the 800 ISO. I then edited the picture using Vibrance and Saturation. These effects brightened and warmed up the picture.
I think that my photo is pretty strong. I really like the sun beams and the little circles on the photo from the sun. I think that they make it look warm. This sounds funny, but I like how the pig id facing down. You don't really see his face and I think that it shows that my dog was actually playing with it and not set up. I was also surprised by the quality of the details in the rope and the carpet. Overall, I think this picture looks very nice.
