Lytro warm-up & Ethnics in Fashion photography

LYTRO WARM-UP 

1) I could see another thing happening behind or in front of the animal or person in that photo. So when I clicked on the photo, it zoomed and the blurry in the photo fade away.

2) This camera work by watching the photo where you want to see it, so if you click in one part of the photo it will zoom.

3) They would obviously have to know how to manage the camera and know they can zoom the photo later, so the blurry stuff in the back or in front of the photo doesn't appear anymore.

4) Well it depends, if you are a photographer and really love take pictures everyday it is worthy, but if you are not interested in photography or taking pictures it is obviously not worth.

FASHION 

1) The changes were in her neck, lips, eyes and hair.

2) Nowadays, beauties' companies do that frequently. I think it is acceptable if the model agrees with the company to change her appearance.

3) I think that would be ethically wrong since that is also a profession, so is basically lying to people faking the beauty of a person in a photo.

4) the change in her hair and lips are OK, but the changes in her neck and eyes are not ok.

5) The difference is that fashion photography is more about models and changing her appearances instead photojournalism can be photos about anything not only models and applying rules of photography, also it is more natural or real .

6) I think fashion photography is more about the authors of the photo letting companies change the appearances in their models and photojournalism is more about applying rules of photographies in each picture and not changing the appearances of people. The ethnical would clearly affect the fashion photography since they would be known as not honest person for changing appearances in people's body.  

Self Portrait and Portraits part II and Rule of Photography Part II

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.

Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.

The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it.

Environmental Portrait

I really like these two photos because of the background in each photo. For me in the first photo the mountains represent freedom, adrenaline and in the second photo the beach represents peace, fun and calm. That is why I chose these two photos.

Self Portrait

What I like about these photos is that represent confusion and heroism. I picked the first photo because represent heroism and I also like superman, the second photo confused me for awhile but then I could figured out what was it.

Casual Portrait

I like these two photos because represent simpleness and joy. I picked the first photo because how the mom was enjoying the moment with her two sons and the second one because the guy is really simple but I like the style.

I will shoot Jin in any environmental place with flowers and trees. I will make the photo colorful with a good view and also applying one of the rules of photography.
