Lytro warm-up and ethics in fashion photography

1. What happened that I saw when I clicked on the photo was wherever I clicked on it focused on that one area.

2. This camera works by when clicking a certain spot it focus on that area that the camera struggled on and that was blurry.

3. A photographer would have to know about taking these kind of photos are, it would come appear fast and you wouldn't need to focus that much considering the camera would already do that.

4. I think that the camera is worth the money although all cameras are expensive this one is unique and different so I feel that it is worth the money.



1. The changes they made in the computer is that they made her lips bigger and made her shoulders and neck that was wide they lowered and made it smaller they made her eyes bigger and made her neck longer.

2. I think it is not okay to change a persons appearance and looks how they look is how they look and they don't accept there looks for who they are so they have to photoshop.

3. They are circumstances to do this when it starts not looking the person, I think that is ridiculous.

4. They type of changes are okay is that they made her shoulders not that wide and they raised her neck but what is not okay is that they made her eyes larger and her lips bigger.

5. Fashion photography is they change a persons appearance and looks and make them someone that there not photojournalism is help to make the image appear better WITHOUT changing their looks too much.

6. The relationship photography has to reality is you take picture of what you see, and you don't change the image of appearance you have fun with it, its photography. This effects the practice of each by your not practicing true photography your just photo shopping.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part 2

1. The best tips from the websites would have to be,

Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.  

Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.

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.
