Finals extra credit

1. A Queens resident, Ki Suk Han, was pushed in the path of an oncoming subway. He tried to lift himself but just wasn't strong enough. The photographer claims he couldn't lift him either so he set up his camera, hoping the train operator would see his flash and stop. Unfortunately the train didn't stop fast enough and killed Han.

2. The photographer took the photo to try to use his flash to warn the train operator to stop the train because their was someone in jeopardy.

3. I don't think he should have taken the photo because he could have been trying harder to save the mans life but instead he just captured his death. Even though he claims he was doing it to help, I think the real reason was to get himself a good picture.

4. I do not think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation because he could have tried harder to pull the man up or try to get help from the people around but instead he set up his camera and took a photo.

5. I do agree with the decision to put this photo on the cover of the New York Post because there's no sense in waisting a picture that raises curiosity and can sell. The photo was already taken so why not use it.

6. It is more important to a photojournalist to capture life as it is happening because they want to be able to document everything and the more interesting, the better.

7. I do think it is ethically acceptable for photographers to involve themselves in situations that they photograph because they could be trying to stop something that can cause destruction from happening because its better to help rather than just sitting back and watch bad things happen.

8. Photographers should influence things to happen but only if they don't cause bad things to happen. But its okay to influence something that will sell and catch a lot of peoples attention.

9. The most relative response was the one saying how did he have enough time to take photos but not help the man.

Finals Review

Terry is doing his pre-marathon rituals next to the finish line. He's been training for this day for 5 months.

Papa Johnny is showing of his bakery's masterpieces. The grand opening was just last weekend!

Rule of thirds- when the photographer uses the grid to place their subject off center of the photo

Balancing elements- having an equal amount of weight on both sides of the photo

Leading lines- using lines in the environment to lead the viewers eye to the subject

Symmetry & pattern- when there is multiple lines and shapes in the photo to make a repetition of symmetrical shapes

fashion photography

1. The model's lips, eyes, and eyebrows were made larger. Her hair was made longer, fuller, and more voluminous. Then they lowered her shoulders and made her neck longer.

2. Her eyes were made bigger, nose smaller, and lips fuller. All the freckles were removed from her face and her entire body was shaded a different color. Her breast were curved, legs and neck elongated, shoulders raised, and flattened stomach. She was created into a completely different person.

3. The model's legs, stomach, arms, hips, and head were made smaller. Then they curved her breasts more and made them larger. Her butt was made smaller and more round. Then they changed her hair and made it longer.

4. I think in some cases it is ethical to change a person's appearance with their consent, for example if someone has a blemish that unfortunately appeared on the day of the shoot. But to change someones whole body and create a completely different person from who you started with is not okay. It gives the world a message that everyone has to look the same way and it lowers people's self esteem.

5. I think it is more unethical when they change a persons actual body size rather than just changing their facial appearance. It creates unrealistic body ideals and make people think that if they don't look like that then they have an ugly body, but in reality nobody really looks like that.

6. It is OK to make eyes bigger or add a little skin tone or remove blemishes but it is NOT OK to completely change their whole body figure and size.

7. In my opinion, fashion photography is fake. All they're trying to do is sell their products by either using unnaturally skinny women or photoshopping people to be completely unrealistic. Models in fashion photography go through so much anxiety to please the people. In photojournalism, the models can be anyone and anywhere. It is documenting the reality and true beauty of the world. Photojournalism sees everything as a work of art that needs to be captured.

8. In fashion photography, manipulating photos is more understandable because they're trying to catch peoples attention and sell their products. In photojournalism pictures shouldn't really be manipulated because they're documenting the truth and if that was changed then it just be a complete lie.

9. I think you are showing us these videos so we can see what is happening behind the scenes in these types of shoots. I also think so you can prove your point of why we need to be insightful while photoshopping our own images.

10. In our day and society females are put under pressure with certain standards they must meet when it comes to appearance. We are apparently supposed to have the ideal skinny body and youthful face. With males their isn't much of a standard.

Magazine types

Early Magazine Covers did not include all the descriptive words as today's magazines do. Most of the time they modeled after book covers which only included a title and publication data. Sometimes small illustrations were included for decoration purposes, rather than illustrating what would be inside. Many early magazines didn't even have a cover, they would just start with an article on the first page. As time progressed, magazines began adding more detail to their covers.

The Poster Cover have a huge, captivating photo as the main focus. Usually there aren't any cover lines or themes announced and the photos are generally not covered by the logo. Few to none cover lines are needed on these types of magazines because the large visual is usually what catches the eye.

Pictures Married to Type also contained a photo that reels people in, but unlike poster covers these rely heavily on cover lines to draw readers inside in a more definite way. Many methods have been used to integrate cover lines with cover photos. Cover models were often posed with space around them so cover lines can be placed on top of them.

In the Forest of Words is similar pictures married to type except the covers main focus is all the powerful cover lines. The photos are intruded with eye catching fonts, colors and variety of sizes. Some magazine covers even include cover lines that are larger that the actual magazine title. Cover lines flood the cover so the model has to withdraw to a smaller image.

FamilyFun, August 2014, Road Trip

"For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids."

This was my favorite cover because all the colors in the portrait and even in the writing come together and make the magazine stand out in a fun, whimsical way. The little girl on the cover and all the colorful things she is surrounded with makes the cover appealing by making it more lively and building a feeling of happiness. These factors come together and create a magazine that looks irresistible to buy. In addition, the cover gives good brief information about what is going to be inside so people who are just scanning will be able to tell what they will be reading about. This also makes the magazine look worth your time and investment because it appears to have so many tips and information that will benefit the readers.

Magazine Tips

When designing a magazine cover...

1. Have a cover that arouses curiosity. Have something that will catch someones eye while they're browsing through the magazines and make them want to read more.

2. Make sure the cover is interesting and mentally appealing. In other words, have something that promises benefits to the readers and makes them feel more obligated to buy the magazine.

3. Have a cover that makes the magazine look worth the investment and time. Particularly, have something that makes people feel like they will get a lot out of the magazine and its worth the buy.

4. Make sure the cover is efficient and easy to scan; the cover gives good information about whats inside, but its brief for the people who are just scanning the magazine.

5. Have cover that is emotionally irresistible; the image is too appealing not to buy and read about.

American Soldier

A. The most powerful image from this slideshow was the one when Ian Fisher got to come home and be reunited with his loved ones, as all the other soldiers did in the background. This really touched me because it brought me back to the time when my mom, brother and I went to go pick up my dad from the airport when he returned from Iraq. It was one of the happiest days in my life.

B.
Set 1 - at home - #1 to #3
Set 2 - basic training -  #4 to #13
Set 3 - in Iraq - #14 to #27
#28 back at home

C. I think set 2 is the most powerful set of images because they captured Ian transitioning to the rough life of being an American soldier. He had to give up is life at home and train for war. This gave me insight to all the challenges my dad goes through as a soldier and made me thankful for these soldiers who risk their lives for our country.

D. The images show Ian's transition from a typical young adult to a dedicated soldier. In the beginning, you can see him enjoying the time he has left with his friends and family. Then you see him become more serious and train for war. Lastly, Ian has become a man devoted to serving his country.

E. The verbs are usually written in present tense.

F. The captions enhance the photo by giving you specific detail to what is actually happening. It helps you connect and get a deeper meaning from the story.

G. After Ian graduated from high school he had to enjoy the  little time he had left at home before he went off to training. At training he faced many mental and physical challenges that prepared him for war in Iraq. In Iraq Ian became a leader who was solemnly dedicated to his tasks as a soldier. When Ian got home, he reunited with his girlfriend who then became his finance.

Portrait & Self Portrait Pt 1

Tips

Take a Series of Shots

Switch your camera into 'burst' or 'continuous shooting' mode and fire off more than one shot at a time.

In doing this you create a series of images that could be presented together instead of just one static image.

This technique can work very well when you're photographing children - or really any active subject that is changing position or pose in quick succession.

Play With Backgrounds

The person in your portrait is the main point of interest – however sometimes when you place them into different contexts with different backgrounds you can dramatically alter the mood in a shot.

self portraits tip

A self-portrait doesn't have to be of your face—the image of two hands holding a camera says a lot about the photographer who shot his own portrait. You can also aim the camera down your body from eye level. I once took a photo of my own feet in hiking shoes, handing over the edge of a rocky outcropping in a scenic spot (if you try something like this, just make sure you're in a safe place that you won't fall from). A picture like this will say a lot about your activities and surroundings.

Environmental portrait

I chose this photo because the background and what the girl is wearing really helped tell me that she enjoys swimming. I like how the girl is looking directly into the camera and makes a connection with you.

I chose this photo because I like the background and prop that the subject was given. It shows me that he he's a fisherman or just likes to be on the lake. I also like how he is looking outside of the frame, making you wonder what he could be looking at.


Photography self portrait

 

I picked this picture because it was unique how the whole picture is dark and the only source of light is being held by the subject. Since all you can see is the subjects face, hood, and gloves it make the picture a little eerie.

I picked this picture because I like how the photographer used a mirror and took a picture of his reflection (I'm guessing). His facial expression gives the picture a serious mood.

Casual Portrait

I chose this picture because I really like the scenic background. I also like how the girl is off to the left which follows the rule of thirds.

This picture also follows the rule of thirds because the guy is placed to the right. I chose this because the guy's smiling face makes him look very friendly.

For my portrait assignment I plan to take photos of my friend, Madison, in her backyard. She has a very large and naturistic yard that would make perfect backgrounds and great natural lighting from the sun. I would have her hold up her flute to show the audience that she is in the band. I also have the idea to take photos of her in the gym holding up a basketball because she also enjoys playing basketball. To get good photos I will try to be creative and shoot from unique angles. I will also try to use the aperture to blur out the background like the photos above.

love & loss warm up

1. As I scrolled through the pictures I was very heartbroken. As I got further and further down the pictures kept getting more sorrowful.

2. When the photographer said this he was saying that these events did happen in their lives, but it didn't define who they really were; their personalities.

3. If I were in this situation I would not be able to capture these mournful moments. I would be to sad to sad to continue with my normal life much less take photos of it.

4. If I were to write a letter to Angelo I would give him my condolences and tell him how great of a photographer he is to seize all of those painful memories and create a timeline out of them.

Africa & abandoned theme parks

Africa
1. As I was reading about Nick Brandt's techniques I was inspired by all the things he goes through just to take one photo. Once I actually saw his work I was completely captivated. I realized that all the waiting and risks he takes is worth the beautiful pictures he captures. His photos are fascinating and really show the beauty of wild life and nature.

2.

3. This was my favorite photo because instead of the lion just standing, he's actually crying out for something. It showed the superiority of the lion and living its roll of "king of the jungle". In addition, the lion is my favorite animal, and I think Nick Brandt did an over all good job of capturing them in their natural habitat.

4. In this photo Brandt used the rule of simplicity. The background is simple and clear of any distracting objects so you can completely focus on the lion.

5. Brandt uses a Pentax 67 rather than a telephoto or zoom lens. He believes that actually being close to the animal is important rather than standing at a distance and zooming in. He believes it makes a difference in his ability to reveal their personality.

6. When Brandt takes these photos he is interested in showing the animals in their state of being before they cease to exist. He says the world is under terrible threat and is vanishing before our eyes.

7. He hopes to show people the harm they have done and what beautiful creatures they are killing. He wants to inspire people to donate money and try to keep these animals on our earth for as long as possible.

8. "Why the animals of Africa in particular? And more particularly still, East Africa? There is perhaps something more profoundly iconic, mythical, mythological even, about the animals of East Africa... There is something deeply deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa - the vast green rolling plains punctuated by by the graphically perfect acacia trees."

Abandoned theme parks

1. If I got to visit one of these parks and take photos I would want to go to Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan. This park's rides were the most rustic and unique. These qualities gave the park more personalityand makes it more interesting to shoot. I would want to take pictures from high places and get the park from a birds eye view.

2.

3. unusual places to take photos

• On the top of a skyscraper 
• Abandoned buildings in small towns
• Abandoned water parks
• Open farmland
• Underground tunnels/caves 

4.

Abandoned water park in California

5. I think an abandoned water would be interesting for all the same reasons of an abandoned theme park. A place that was once used and now abandoned gives it so much character and such exotic an  feeling. If I were to shoot here, I would take pictures on all of the slides from different angles. I would also take photos like the one above, with people doing something interesting on the slides, like riding a skateboard. I would also want to go to the highest point of the park and take a picture from birds eye view of all the slides integrating and swirling into one another.

6. To make this photo shoot possible, I would need money to cover traveling expenses. I would also need a camera because I don't already own one. As far as the law, I'm unsure if you need permission from a specific person to enter the park.

FUNNY CAPTIONS

Opal has decided to sit downtown and show everyone how bad she is. She's always getting told otherwise and finally had to do something about it.

Susana is proving to everyone that she'll never be too old for anything. She never let anything stop her in the last 99 years.

Willie is getting down with all of his brothers at the Washington family reunion. He's been preparing for this occasion for months.

Great black & white photographers - PART 3

1. When I first saw Tina Modotti's photos I immediately saw that they told a story. She captured people going through hardships that they call life. Her photos show how fortunate we are to be living the way we do and to be grateful for what we have.

2. I see two women who are holding baskets on top of their heads. They're in a barren region with no sign of life near by. They're smiling and don't seem to mind having to stand in the horrid heat.                      

I smell the contents inside of the baskets lingering in the air. As I continue my trek, the aroma is weakening me and making me hungry.

I taste the stale air swirling around me. It picks up all the dirt and debris and tosses it in my mouth.

I hear the wind whistling through the air. The branches in the lifeless trees shake like maracas.

I feel the shards of rock digging into my skin, and the pebbles sliding through my toes. The hot sand is scalding the bottom of my feet. All while the wind passes through my clothing and the sun's rays beat down on me.

I see a boy carrying a stack of hay on his back. He seems to be in a more country setting. Unlike the last photo, he looks miserable to be standing in the heat with such a large load over weighing his back.

I smell musty sweat dripping from the boy's forehead as he struggles to keep walking.

I taste the crisp air surrounding the scene. The straws of hay are blowing in my mouth and leave me cringing in disgust.

I hear the boy's footsteps pounding on the ground as he continues on his brutal walk.

I feel compassionate for the boy. He looks so miserable to be doing such labor in the blazing sun. I feel very lucky and fortunate to live a life where my only job is to go to school and get good grades.

3. To share all of Tina Modotti's captivating photos, I would make a poster explaining her journey and how she came to be a photographer. In addition, I would paste some of my favorite photos by her.

Mural project

1. A possible theme we could do here at school is outdoor landscapes. Bowie has several gardens with a variety of flowers. We also have captivating trees with a range of broad sizes. We have an overall beautiful campus, with really good scenery, that needs to be captured.

2. I think we should be able to use both phones and cameras. When we don't have cameras checked out, we would have our phones to still have the opportunity to take pictures. Then for those who don't have camera phones, they'll still have the chance to check out a camera.

3. The murals that we create can be placed on the wall over your head, right before you walk into a hallway. 

Academic shoot reflection & critique

Reflection

1. When I was getting the photos, I had a hard time trying to include the rules of photography while  was taking my pictures.

2. I was really focusing on filling the frame with captivating subjects that make you interested what the students were doing or thinking. I didn't want to capture something small and boring.

3. If I got the chance to do this again, I would focus more on the angles of my photos. A lot of the pictures I had could've been better if they were shot from a different perspective. A different view of things can make a more clear subject and help achieve the rules of photography.

4. If I had to do something the same, I would still come close to my subjects like I did rather being far apart to where you can't even tell what the subject is.

5. I think rule of thirds is easiest to achieve. All you have to do is take the photo from an angle in which your subject is put off center.

6. I think framing is the most challenging rule to capture. your subject won't always be by other objects that'll surround them and create a frame.

7. I'm still not completely clear on the rule of balance and how to capture a good picture with this rule. Too get a better understanding, I can look at more examples to get me familiar with what this rule requires.

Critique

http://yanasphotojblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/academic-post-shoot-reflection.html?showComment=1445353478610#c6567814145115974666 

Academic post-shoot reflection

1. This photo is an example of avoiding mergers. The two girls at the top got their heads a little cropped out of the photo.

2. The subject of the photos is the all the girls doing their homework.

3. In my opinion, the subject is very clear. At the same time, someone else might be confused if you're supposed to be focusing on the girl who is to the left of everyone.

4. When I was shooting, I should of had the girl to the left sit in the chair next to her, so all the girls could be next to each other. Then I would have shot at a different angle to capture all the girls together at the table without any mergers.

1. In this photo I used the rule of lines. There are several objects in this photo that have lines leading to the subject.

2. The photo of this subject is the girl working on her art.

3. I think the subject of this photo was clearly shown.

4. To make this photo better, I could have shot from a higher angle so I wouldn't have gotten all those distracting books in the background.

1. In this photo, I used the rule of thirds. The subject of my photo is placed to the left, making the picture more interesting.

2. The subject of my photo is the girl in the front, typing on her computer.

3. The subject of the photo somewhat clear, but there were some things I could have done to make it more obvious.

4. I could have shot from a lower angle so the picture could be more focused on the girl in the front typing.

1. In this photo, I used the rule of balance. On both sides of the picture there is a girl holding up a camera.

 

2. The subject of this photo is the two girls holding up a camera and taking a photo of what is in front of them.

 

3. The subject is clear because there are no distracting items in the picture that take your focus away from the girls.

 

4. Nothing was needed.

Aperture & Shutter speed & ISO

Aperture

F2.8

 F16

1. We should closely relate aperture to the pupil (inside the eye).

2. The smaller the aperture diaphragm, the higher the f-number.

3. The aperture controls the depth of field, in other words it controls whats blurry inside the picture by the amount of light that the camera captures. A larger aperture means a smaller f-number, which gives a blurry background to focus on the photo's subject. A smaller aperture means a larger f-number, which gives a more clear background. 

Shutter Speed

low shutter speed

high shutter speed

During the day

a) a booth in the middle of the yard near the tree - low

b) a food booth outside under one of the red awnings - low

c) the stars performance inside the gym - high

d) students dancing near the center of the courtyard - high

e) people streaming in from the doors - low

f) the basketball where students are shooting baskets - high

At night

a) a booth in the middle of the yard at night - low

b) a food booth outside under one of the red awnings - low

c) the stars performance inside the gym - high

d) students dancing near the center of the courtyard - middle to capture light with your subject's action

e) people streaming in from the doors - low

f) the basketball where students are shooting baskets - middle (same as d)

Aperture Priority- This is when you set the lens aperture and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed.

Shutter Priority- This is when you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the lens aperture.

Manual- This is when you set both the lens aperture and shutter speed manually.

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1. Shooting at a higher ISO captures quick movement/motion in a dim setting.

2. The author suggested to use low ISO in well lit settings to retain the most detail and have high image quality.

3. The author suggested to use high ISO in a place where there is not enough light for a camera to quickly capture an image. It also freezes motion for good action shots.

DSLR camera

Aperture settings: f- 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11,16, 22

Shutter speed: 1 second, 1/160 second, 1/40000 second

Unusual and Interesting Photos

Part 1

1. Christian Rhum's photos are very unique and something I hadn't seen before. They gave me this illusion that the picture was spinning which made my eyes go in circles.
2. I think he took several photos of the same object at different angles. Then he faded all of them except the one standing up straight. Lastly, he merged all of the photos into one, making it look like the landmark was spinning.
3. The capital in downtown Austin, Texas (south congress) would be a good landmark to use on this photography technique. The building has nice architecture and easy access. I also think the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, Louisiana would be a good building. It has a very broad size and shape, and is located on a public street for everyone to view.

Part 2
website would not work

Part 3

1. I think the 3 most important rules a photographer should remember when they are shooting is to be able to make the ordinary seem extraordinary, look at things from different angles to get the best shot, and look at where your light is coming from.
2.

Bathing at La Grenouillere 

3. 

 

4. The photographer did not show the difference in light between the rowboats and the lake. Their camera was not able to expose the shadow being casted over the boats and the light of the open lake. Over all, they both captured a quiet, relaxed day at the lake.

5. I think the painting will influence me the most. Monet captured a lot of subjects at once, without having any distracting factors. He was also good at giving the picture a calming mood for the audience. These are good techniques I need to remember when I shoot.

Academic shoot preview

Best Story
The story here is being told by the placement and balance of everything in the photo. Everyone in the picture is wearing  winter clothes, from this I analyzed that it is holiday season. Then I noticed that the people on the left, giving food, are young. From this I figured that for the good of the community, students came together to feed the homeless.

Action and Emotion
The photographer took this picture at the perfect moment. It looks like s/he froze time and took the photo right when the experiment's reaction was at its highest point. At the same time, she captured the girls' facial expressions which gives the audience a feel of how excited and surprised they were. Action and emotion worked very well together to make this picture more interesting. 

Filling the frame

This photo is filled with several amused students that are all staring at what seems to be a science experiment. Your attention is immediately drawn to the center of the table, where most of their hands are reaching out to touch a small cloud created by dry ice.

From the Jostens photo contest, I chose the picture of a boy in chemistry. He is wearing goggles and gloves, while pouring one green and one blue substance into a beaker, making a purple substance. Everything in the back is completely blurry.

1. I picked this photo because the colors really caught my attention. Then I was reeled in by how captivated and focused the boy was on his experiment.

2. This photo follows the rule of balance. Both sides of the picture have the boys hand pouring the the two liquids into the beaker.

1. I think I could take photos like these in e hall, where most science classes are.

2. I would feel most comfortable going to my science teachers classroom, but she doesn't do many interesting, hands on experiments.

3. As a photographer, I will have to think about where I stand and the way I hold the camera, while I'm taking the pictures.

Photo manipulation and ethics

1. It all started April 1, 2009 when someone decided to clone and digitally manipulate pictures of Israel's new cabinet. What was supposed to be a foolish prank, actually turned out to be a terminal offense. Since then, people around the world have been using photoshop programs to manipulate photos of serious topics.

I think this type of photo editing is unethical. People shouldn't distort photos of people in such high power and authority. In addition, they shouldn't make jokes about something that could actually be a deliberate issue in the world.


2.

In my opinion, this photo was the most unethical. Changing her teeth to make them look decayed was cruel and unnecessary. Doing this only made their magazine less attractive.

I thought that this was the least unethical photo. All they did was bring the mountains closer together, which actually gave the picture a more appealing look.

Great black and white photographers - PART 2

Tina Modotti was born on August 17, 1896 in Udine, Italy. By the time she was 16, Tina moved to San Francisco, California where she took on her acting career. She was casted in silent movies, plays, and operas. In Hollywood she met Edward Weston  and his assistant Margarethe Matter who introduced her to her love for photography. They began a portrait business in Mexico where Tina met several important people in the political world. She took photos of flowers, urban landscapes, architecture and one of her most influenced, peasants and workers. Some of her photos were used in the book Idols Behind Altars by Anita Brenner. By 1927, Tina became apart of the Communist party. In 1929, she was accused for the murder of Julio Antonia Mella then later questioned for the attempt assassination of Mexico's President, Pascual Rubio Ortiz. In 1930, Tina was exiled from Mexico by the government as a result of the anti-communist campaign. She then went back to Europe where she was no longer a photographer. Tina died of heart failure at the age of 45 on January 5, 1942 in Mexico City, Mexico. It was said that her death was planned by Vittorio Vidali because she had known about some of his suspicious activities. All though Tina hadn't written any books of her own, several were written about her including A Fragile Life by Mildred Constantine.

These are two of Tina Modotti's photos.
