Top 100 Photos: Bradley Cooper

I picked this image because everyone in it, looks so happy and bright. It caught my eye because there's people in it, who are famous and anyone that is on social media could recognize them. 

This image was taken at the 2014 Oscars, by Brady Cooper. It instantly became one of the most retweeted photos, posted on Twitter by Ellen, with more than 3 million retweets. Photo was taken on a Samsung, which Ellen was promoting and it made the TV ad.

Top 100 Photos: John Paul Filo

I choose this photo because it shows so much emotion in the girl who is on her knees and the others that are around. I think that the photo makes you feel as if you were there walking past this happening. The person on the floor caught my eye as well as the girl on the ground, which lead me to think that the person was dead or very hurt. 

The paragraph behind the photo explains that this was shooting at Kent State University in Ohio, and lasted about 15 seconds. 4 people ended dead, nine wounded, and a campus that was distraught. The girl, Mary Vecchio was crying about the wounded, Jeffery Miller, on the floor.

Fashion Photography

1st video- They photo shopped her eyes and made them bigger, as well as her mouth. Her face got more contoured and defined to have a shape to it.  

2nd video- The model's body was made skinnier and they put what looked like tanner all over her body. Her neck was made longer as well as her legs. 

3rd video- Her body was made bigger and tanner to create the look they were going for. They made her into a slice of pizza for a brand. 

4) I think that it is not ethically okay because when photo shoppers make models look something that they aren't, it sets a image of what people try so hard to be, which in reality, is fake. 

5) It's more ethnically wrong to do it over billboards and magazines where people look at it the most. It lets women and girls believe that, that image is what they have to look like and look up to. 

6) I think making simple little things stand out more like eyes or lips, or smoothing out someones face a little. When you start changing body parts and their body in general, that's when it's wrong. 

7) The difference between fashion photography and photo journalism is that fashion changes the way a person is or makes them more "beautified." In journalism you shoot a picture that is true and real to what you're trying to show. 

8) I think fashion photography is just plain fake. They photo shop girls into something that obviously they're not and someone totally new. It's far from reality with fashion and it's not ethical.

9) I think you're showing us these videos to show how different fashion photography is from journalism. What we see online or on ads of people, is probably photo shopped or not real.

10) None of these videos are about guys because they don't have to live up to the standards that we do. They don't wish they were another guy or look at models who are make to look perfect.

Environmental Portrait

Self Portrait

Casual Portrait

For my portrait project I'm going to shoot my friends either behind a plain wall for outside by trees. For my self portraits I'm going to shoot in nature & in the home life. I also wanna add really cool lights or lighting to the photos. In all photos I want to capture moments that define the person or myself.
