EXTRA CREDIT

1. The man was killed by being pushed onto the tracks by a panhandler who was harassing passengers. He tried to break it up, but instead got pushed onto the tracks. The photographer was able to take the picture because after he was not able to help the man up, he started taking picture with his flash; hoping that the train would see it and stop in time.

2. He took the photo because he was trying to stop the train with his flash and captured the moment.

3. Personally, I don't think that taking the photo was a smart decision because that man's life was more important than a picture on a cover.

4. He didn't do the best he could've done. He could've gotten some people standing around and helped the man up together. Instead he just sat there and flashed his camera.

5. I think it wasn't a good idea because someone's life was taken when it could've been saved. And now it goes public, showing everyone how the photographer could've saved the person. New York Post probably got a lot of reports.

6. I think that the more important thing to them is capturing images of life because if that wasn't the case the man on the tracks would be alive and well.

7. No, it's not ethically acceptable because if something bad happens while their taking the picture, then they didn't do anything to prevent the situation from happening.

8. They shouldn't always avoid influencing events because if they avoided it then they would be there to capture the event.

9. The best thing to do as a photographer is not respond on my part. The best thing you can say is sorry and lock your doors because there will be a lot of people calling you and make you question your job.

Final Review

 Romanian soldier, Anton Doru, rests his eyes on a bus on a cold morning on December 1, 2014. He's getting ready to take part in a parade for Romanian's national day in Bucharest, Romania.

 A small, tired owl in the Gyeonggi province, in Ansung City, South Korea, yawns as it sits in the snow on Dec. 4, 2014.

2.1. Rule of thirds-Imagining a 3 by 3 box of boxes and placing your subject where it looks good.

2. Balancing Element-the subjects in the photo are balanced and don't look crazy or off line.

3. Leading Lines-there are obvious lines in the photo that lead or don't lead to the subject.

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)-the subjects in the photo are forming a pattern or a shape of some sort.

5. Viewpoint- when the viewpoint is changed rather than at eye level.

6. Background- when the background is simple and doesn't distract from the subject.

7. Create depth-when you can see objects overlap, creating depth.

8. Framing-when the subject is being framed between two other objects.

9. Cropping-making the viewer see only what you want them to see.

10. Mergers and avoiding them- objects in front of the subject that block your view from it.

Portraits and Self-Portraits

Magazine part 2

1. The attributes of the Early Magazine Covers is sayings in the pictures like in the third picture, the pillars by the fountain might symbolize that the Mother's are tall and the vines might simplify that they are strong and united.

2. In the Pictures That Need No Words, the pictures tell us a story or like a current event that is going on like in the 2nd picture cover. There is a man with a man and he is holding the american flag while riding a horse. So that tells us that the topic of the newspaper is what is going on in the war life.

3. Picture Married to Type: The font and words found and also the people or subjects on the cover are seen trying to tell the reader a story about what's sen inside the magazine. For example, in the 3rd cover, you can see that the C in the title of the newspaper is bigger than the rest. Another thing is where the people are seen; in this photo the people are seen on a beach and seem relaxed.

4. In the Forest of Words: The images are very upfront and there are a lot of words on the front explaining the subject(s) on the cover. For instance, the second magazine cover, there are two girls on a beach. There are words like Sex, War and Dinosaurs, which explain what the viewer will see inside.

Fashion Photography

1. They changed her facial features from jaw bone and made her eyes bigger and made her neck taller.
2. They changed her skin tone lighter and made her breast smaller. They made her look taller as well. They also made her eyes bigger and her nose and lips smaller.
3. The person was basically made from big to skinny. They made her legs skinnier and and her breasts bigger. They changed her whole being. They her more acceptable to society.

4. I think it's not acceptable because people should be accepted for who they really are and not what some guy behind a computer makes them.

5. It would be more ethically wrong if the people are doing for advertisements and like beauty care.

6. I think none are ok unless it is used for fun and just joking around. People actually believe that looking like that is possible just by doing a certain thing. The people that are being photoshopped look fake.

7. In fashion photography there are people being transformed and look fake to make someone feel bad about themselves and want to do something about it. In photojournalism, photos are taken to make things look good but not fake and make believe.

8. They both make people to be that or go there. It changes people's views of the world and gives them a wrong interpretation of the world.

9.  To show what photojournalism isn't and what the other side of photojournalism is.

10. The reason I think is because girls treat themselves in a bad way and critique themselves more then boys. Also boys don't need makeup so all they need to do is stand in front of camera and give them nice hair and a six pack.

My Favorite Cover

Photographer: Martin Schoeller

Designer: Arem Duplessis

"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

There are certain things that made me chose this picture for my favorite cover. First of all there is such simplicity in the chile cover. All that the magazine is talking about is Sarah Hendrickson and how close she was to winning the gold medal. The color in the photo is so precise and again really simple. 

I like how the girl is made not to smile because it adds to the seriousness of the mood set in the photo.The level of her eyebrows and how one is going up while one stays the same. The main reason I chose this picture is because I like simplicity and how serious photos an be. Lastly, I liked the way her goggles and her vest and also her black helmet match. I also like how the photographers chose to put a gray background to bring out the color of her face and her suit she is wearing.
