Changes in the first video

  1. Her nose 
  2. Her shoulders 
  3. Tan 
  4. lips 
  5. Eyes and eye brows 
  6. Legs 
  7. Neck
  8. Hair color 
  9. Body shape 
  10. Face

Changes in the second video 

  1. Her butt 
  2. Legs 
  3. Ankles 
  4. Arms 
  5. Hips 
  6. Thighs 
  7. stomach  
  8. Hair 
  9. hand 
  10. Breast 
  11. Head 
I feel like this is not acceptable thats fine if they want to see your self skinny losing weight but at least not for advertisement you can do it like they did but you can delete it right after. 

Yes i feel like there should be circumstances to doing this type of editing because some people want to show there body the way they are not to lose there weight or gain weight 

The changes that seem ok is there nose that you want it to maybe arms but the stuff that are wrong is there body,legs, arms,eyes, ankles ect but toughs are the most wronged ones that any person can do 

Fashion is where you give them the right to change your body the way that they want not the way you want it but photojournalism is where you only change the levels and change there tan and eyes and all the other stuff. But photojournalism is just a photo that had only changed the levels and nothing else not the body figure

The relationship that has with reality is that people change there body figures just to look the way that they want them to look if they don't like it they change it

I feel like you showed us the three videos that not everything is just natural and we will be doing assignment of photoshop something like that

I feel like that men don't really want changes but women want them to like there bodes and men on the other hand i really don't really think that they want something like that

The main attributes that goes in for a magazine that the cover needs no words that have been added to the cover the cover should just be the only one doing the talking not the captions the picture its self.If your crowd does not know what you are looking at how can you tell them what are they looking with a picture the picture has to a subject that clear and people know if you have cover lines make sure that there clear and readable don't write a paragraph about you topic just write a few small words that are strong and tell the meaning of the magazine.If you have colors make sure that your colors match you picture. the cover lines are the most important part besides the cover page
The one way that at least help this picture in a few ways is lighted up the edges of the picture because it seems to dark but i know that its so post to be like that because is wanted by the NSA for reveling secrets but if you wanted to stick with that idea that you had then i would recommend have it a tiny bit darker in the center so it just shows the American flag an just him not show his shoulders you can black out his shirt a little bit to because i know that his shirt is already blacked out but if you can move his hand a bit closer to his other one so that you make the edged more take and seem like there is no hope around but there is hope with him holding the flag make him look like he was the last hope of reveling the NSA and what are they hiding from us the

Best covers

1.The first one was that showed an informal  portrait for the Russian president there making fun of him because there saying he the best but he is not
2.The next picture is the same with the Environmental because he is a man that revealed secrets that the NSA was hiding
3.Its a Formal because he is wearing his uniform but its in the middle because he is running in the middle of no where 
4.its an environmental because it shows a baseball player and he is in the stadium that he plays in 
5.its a formal because he is a football player but he is not playing on the felid so its not environmental and you can for sure see that he is one   
6.Next on is actually an another informal because it takes an artist and known for music is on the cover for looks like a clothing magazine 
7.Informal because it takes a tennis player and make her take a picture exposing skin 
8.this is an environmental because the lady is a fashion artist and it shows what she does 
9.informal because its asking teenagers why do they do the things that they do 
10.its a formal because its just a simple child eating with like he/she mom or dad 
11.envormental because its taking that a person that was known for greek bust and buying her 
12.Envormental there just clotting designers 
13.formal because it takes a famous actress and make her message out loud 
14.Informal because bill murphy is known for his shows and movies that he did not wearing a vail 
15.Envormental because its a picture of a child and the captions shows some fact 
16. formal because it shows a guy the served in our country but sadly he lost his arm and leg but instead of crying about it he got in shape   
17. environmental because a lady thats advertising workforce and how to find you career  
18.jimmy fallon was on golf digest but that an informal because he is a comedian and a talk show host

Things to think about when making magazine cover 


  1. Make sure that your cover is interesting to other people not just you 
  2. don't show to much on the cover so they don't have to read it 
  3. Make sure that the photo that you are taking ask your self does it work 
  4. don't make it a cover that you just understand a lot of other people are going to be seeing this make sure everybody knows what you are talking about 
  5. Make sure you fit everything into the cover not just half a person . nobody wants to talk to half a person make sure that you got every thing to fit

The Image that was most powerful in the slide show was the one with the ATP was because it is basically the difference from machinery and man and how much bigger machinery is compared to man.

Where i think that i could pinpoint the different location is picture 7 where it looks like the whole base is going for a run but it changers from that to actual war and where they captured what it looks like a bad man in picture 16.

The one i thought that was the most powerful was in Iraq because there is no training in the world that will train you to deal with war you can be good in shape but your state of mind will change no matter how powerful you are

It works together because it goes from the recruiting station to boot camp that where he got a leg hurt   from war where getting your leg injured is a normal thing

The one picture that had main subject is Ian limped to his tent after a knee injure which was a drill because of a night time raid

The captions tell what was just go on and explaining who where the NCO of the dill this just cleared up confusion what was happening in the picture



The person that i want to shoot is someone that feels relaxed and shows that they don't see the camera but yet someone actually feels like it is any other day. But i want to take my pictures on a football field or a soccer field or anything that has any open space that they can take. What i want to do to make my pictures successful is that put the camera on sports mode and change the angle of the picture because we all seen that normal running towards the camera but i want to change that angle to actually keep it slanted a little slanted so it looks like no path that they run is to hard to beat 

Self Portrait and Casual Portrait

For something like this is there Norm for some people  and some people love doing stuff like this 

This was just any ordinary baby and mother playing that does not get any less casual than that

The reason why i chose this one is that a man that looks like been taking pictures just for a little bit is actually trying to find how to work it 

I liked this one because is that takes sand that we all known to be on the beach but its a cully looks like to be on some one that likes sand 




Environmental Portrait

6. Shoot Candidly

Sometimes posed shots can look somewhat…. posed. Some people don’t look good in a posed environment and so switching to a candid type approach can work.
Photograph your subject at work, with family or doing something that they love. This will put them more at ease and you can end up getting some special shots with them reacting naturally to the situation that they are in. You might even want to grab a longer zoom lens to take you out of their immediate zone and get really paparazzi with them.


15. Hold Your Camera on an Angle

Horizontal and Vertical framings are not the only options when it comes to shooting portraits. While getting your images straight can be important in when shooting in these formats holding your camera on a more diagonal angle can also inject a little fun into your images.

The reason why i chose this one is that take an amazing person a put him in a picture. Thats is amazing all in its self plus who doesn't like Stan Lee 

This type of framing can add a sense of fun and energy into your shots. Just don’t ‘slightly’ do it or you’ll have people asking themselves if you might have mistakenly held your camera crooked.

The reason why i chose this one is that showed the slowed down motion of something a moves pretty fast in actual time 


The emotion that I feel on the pictures are actually disappointing and sad because it showed a woman a wife to a man die because of breast cancer

I think photographer is trying to tell us is that she is not just his problem but they are everyone's problem his wife is not the only one has this many other woman have this

I feel like i could but actually no because taking pictures of your wife that has been with you forever finally dies and you take pictures of that i could but it would be hard

If i could write him a letter it would go like your wife from an age that you to that looked amazing and beautiful and then something bad happen but you still prevailed and showed that nothing can get you down and make everything the best out of your photos and showed everyone dies but you just show that it just takes a man with courage and comment to take pictures like that thanks for that

Shidaka’s Utopia, Beppu, Kyushu, Japan And The Prehistoric Forest , Irish Hills, Michigan 


The reason why i want to go and take pictures is that  I guess that they have the most interning stuff thats left like the six flags one was good and all but that one did not interest me at all like this one because it has i guess that you did not expect from something like a theme park there was one where i think a T-Rex was eating another dinosaur and it had the red i guess you don't see that from theme park and the other one they just basically left every thing there and left



I think the 5 unusual places that i will take pictures of is the House of hordes because if it is still operating in a weird sense But the slides because if they can supports peoples weight or just fall The Irish dinosaur in the woods what breaking down and whats hanging on by a thread. The dinners that they have there in both places. and the creepiest place for me is the main operating room that controls every thing  

The reason why i think it will be fun to document this place because just imaging what was there when it first opened and compared to when its old and rusty my photos that i can take there might be more plain then ever but image that this place has been shut down for something plus years 

What i can think of is that I'm going to need to take a try pod because we don't know how high is the elevation is and how windy it is going to be travel pals goes by get there explore the place see where it is at Expenses have money that could get you out if you get arrested but we don't know the price that bail is at . The laws that you have to think about is that i would not touch anything and only take pictures 

My reactions to the article is actually interesting because he was saying that ''It Gets harder and harder because of population pressure, global warming, deforestation and poaching''.I gave him that he is waits and waits like 3 weeks for  giraffes and then 17 days in a row for a lion when he liked his face.But now that he tried to take pictures that he took 13 something years ago he did not see one single animal like before. 

The reason that I Picked this picture is because is that it shows that its hard to live in Africa even Elephants way bigger than this men if the Elephants horns are way bigger than the men them selfs just image how huge the animal had to be and for it to die just image that 

The rule that the photographers did is that he put simplicity and avoiding mergers, Framing because the reason that i chose these is that none of the subjects are out of the frame every thing that the photographer trying to capture is in the frame its self               

He used PenTax 63|| with 2 lens One  formats the pictures to show only black and white another on shows that shows landscapes and animals 

The reason that he takes the photos is that he wanted to bring awareness to steely animals that where just simply just vanished one by one slowly because of poaching. We don't know if he is a Activist or a Artist 

The hope is that He wants do a anti poaching group where they stop poaching in its tracks 

   

''But instead of a herd of elephants striding across the grassy plains of Africa, here we see only their remains: the tusks of 22 elephants killed at the hands of man within the Amboseli/Tsavo Ecosystem.''

Who: Susie and Rick gravies What:They just forgot what they where doing . Where:  During parade that was just for something but they just forgot. Where: In New York during the Christmas parade When: 12/ 25/?  why:they did not like the inflate able How:they just printed sighs and took them  

They clapping was the loudest thing but to take a picture does not do sound good thing because her stare just looks like she talks and talks but I'm guessing that rick wheres those sunglasses for a reason so he does not have to look 

That parade was hated by many but his camera that he had was filled of stores and gift shops the dream tourist it was absolute horrible  

Who: Frank Mondra. What:Frank is losing his memory of who he is Where: Besides showing where there at thanks for the lady holding the wood  probably and old as frank. What: Recently frank lost his memory big time but the pirate that he thinks he is. When: 12/5/04 How:Frank was in the war but he does not know which one he just says that black beard send him before they sunk How: But his Family told us that he was dropped by black beard  but she has been

Jessica this was the norm for her but she was just saying that this one was just the most repeating  and she never heard that timber that shiver 

frank before he pasted the pirate thing ever past but he thought that he was from the future with hover boards like back to the future  

Who:This is Lugi ''mindless'' Lopez. What:He wanted to show the kids at his part a trick that gave him the nickname mindless.Where: 2303 River Bed Drive is his house behind a church. When:This was 04/16/12 when he was the oldest person there at the party. Why:This face scared kids probably every single time so we said why not the man is old and on his last legs. How:We really don't know how the old man does it when the kids and the adults try the usually pass out 


We gathered around this little rectangle table that could only hold the kids but you can hear the wood start crying because  how much the kids weighed they weren't light if there moms didn't want to carry them.

I really don't remember much about that day but i remember the funny parts like the little rectangle table decided that it was just to tired of crying  and instead to just fall over and die and sending wood flying all over the place

  1. The Theme that i would try to do is get sports or events that people that enjoys to go I feel like we can do a series of these around the school to spread a message 
  2. we should actually use regular cameras because you never know who has a phone or not if they do then take with there phone 
  3. We Should place a mural where everyone can see it and show who we are as a school so say in the front the side of the school next to the gym and last the back near the portables  

I See & I Smell & I Hear & I Taste & I Feel (Part 2)

I See: The building was absolutely huge with glass everywhere and pillars with looked like crystals from out off this world and the chandeliers hanging from the inside

I Smell: Smell was actually quite odd you can all most couldn't smell anything besides the food of tourist that wanted to  the building

I Hear: The sound was actually full of cars that just started up of just turned down and the pitter patter of people shoes the high heels the dress shoes on the marble floor

I Taste: You can almost the taste the crystal of the pillars all the suffering that they went through with the years just went on and the weather just taking it toll on it

I Feel: The sharp glass from the walls was like a needle just prickling your finger when you were just to tired of standing because the wooden stands were just taken

I See & I Smell & I Hear & I Taste & I Feel

I See: There stood a man that was tired and couldn't handle all the pressure if he would survive the war torn village that he go married at. But now that they took his wife but because of that he still wears the ring for her.As he sees the village that he once remembered just vanish in to ash he couldn't just handle it i just had to take the picture

I Smell:The smell of smoke and ash just filled our lungs as we watched the town just look like huge monster but the monster was slowly puffing smoke into the villagers bodies and there own homes that   were not yet burned down

I Hear: The engines of the factories just slowing down their production was just heart breaking as fire was just coming out of the front door and air raids just went by normally they would just sound the alarm if it was sill there you can hear the metal clanking each time you walk

I Taste:The ash just tasted horrible it was like taking a charcoal from the fire pit and putting one in your mouth but now that was not to bad but you had to wear a mask

I Feel: I did not want to take the the picture all i wanted to was get out and the man that was suffering to much we need to move before the whole village just burn down

1. Some thing that caught my eye was that he took things that looked ordinary to some people and absolutely turned it on its head and made it look like nothing that you can image. I actually don't know why i choose the image i guess that it was just something that you did not expect and new.

2 Positive things: This photographer did a really good on what was the subject and how did he/she show it. Also he did a really good balance on most of his photos 

Could work on: I Think this person could try to change up what he takes and not just balance just expand the rules and not just 2 or three other than that everything else is good

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique


  1. One of the challenges that i faced was that to sick to academic and keep it interesting and not just the boring academics that we know and hate but that was really main challenge that i faced 
  2. I think the one thing that i was thinking most about is mainly focus. framing a little bit that was not really the problem but focus was mainly the big one 
  3. One thing that i might change if i did this again is to blur out the background if i had just  the subject it would be good that is main one that i was worried about i wanted to make some what a blur i one photo 
  4. One thing that will stay the same is that how much focus that i had and framing i was working with and how much space i had 
  5. The main one that will be the easiest to achieve is the rule of thirds and some what Avoiding mergers 
  6. Main one that was the hardest to capture was lines because there is not much that have the shape and if it does have the same shape is was really hard to capture both 
  7. I really don't struggle with a rule every thing is very basic and understanding 



  1. The rules of composition that i did for my photos is that i was trying to avoiding mergers which i did for 2 of my photos then i did rule of thirds for the bottom photo and simplicity  
  2. For my first image i try to make my subject Mr Morgan(the teacher)and his students that they don't have to look at him to teach them about reading.My second photo is actually my favorite one well i tried to make this one seniors that have off periods and instead of going home they would rather hang out with each other.My last one is that a girl that has all of her focus of her drawing project 
  3. I feel like the subject is clear for my last photo and my first one not so much for my second one that one was just really hard to see the subject there where a lot of people and the subject could be one of the seniors 
  4. For sure what i could have done differently is that some what blur out the background so it will only show the seniors and have a clear subject

  1.  The higher the ISO it can freeze motion so say if someones running in a football game you want to set it high so you can get the best image 
  2. The suggestions that the author for low ISO when ever possible keep it at 100 or 200 when there is plenty of light 
  3. ISO 6400

  4. Also the suggestions that the author made was for High ISO was for like sporting events or something with not enough light 

    ISO 200






  • A booth in the middle of the yard near the tree:You should use high shutter speed because it can freeze peoples movement and show what they are doing 
  • A food booth outside under one of the big red awnings : you should use slow shutter speed because it is dark under there and plus it can brighten up the area 
  • The stars performance inside the gym:They should use high shutter speed so they can make a bit of a blurry affect for every one but that can also be bad 
  • Students dancing near the center of the courtyard:High shutter speed so they can freeze in the middle of dancing 
  • people streaming in front doors : slow shutter speed because it not a lot of movement but it can help
  • The basketball booth where students were shooting basketball at a hoop:The photographer should use high so sense it will basically freeze the ball in the air   


     Towards the end when there was no sun and has gotten dark enough that you cant see from one end of the courtyard to the other 
  • A booth in the middle of the yard near the tree : You would use low shutter speed sense it is at the end and it dark it can light it up a little bit 
  • A food booth outside under one of the big red awnings : Same thing you really can't work with anything else 
  • the Starts performance inside the gym:Still you want to use high shutter speed because the lights are not going to be turned off in the gym 
  • Students dancing near the center of the court yard:you would want to use slow because it is dark and can't mainly see anybody 
  • people Streaming in from the front doors :Slow shutter speed 
  • Slow Shutter speed 

  • The basketball booth:you want to use slow even though you see motion it helps light  up so you can see something and not anything 

High Shutter Speed 



The three setting that your camera has to set the the shutter speed is Aperture Priority,Shutter Priority and Manual 



  1. The body part that you can relate aperture is your eyes because your eyes has the power to blur out the background in something that you are focused about. And like a camera the amount that your eye pupil is open the more light passes through.
  2. The smaller the Aperture the larger f-stop is. But the larger Aperture means smaller the F-stop is 
  3. Camera Aperture is at F16 or higher 

  4. So the smaller aperture the more of the background  is blurred out. But the larger the aperture the background is blurred out even less

    Camera Aperture is at F2.8

  1. I think that the most important is that the angle that you are at. So say if you are taking a picture of a boy running just towards the end of the frame that is not interesting you want take the picture the boy running at you  
  2. you want to take a picture where the person that is looking at your picture does not get distracted at something else in the photo 
  3. look out what your background is doing even though you can block it out just focus on it 


  1. I think that my photographer did a good job on the suggestions but than the second  photo not so much the first was amazing at fowling the suggests 
  2. I think that the paint that would influence me is like 3D and abstract painting that made you have to change your angles

How i react to Christian Rhum and his work i honestly think that there cool but it seems to wobbly for my taste there good photos just that the shake a bit to much but some of them are amazing then the others are like they don't need it.


I think that he made the pictures by taking multiple pictures at once then just tilting and shaking it a little bit while taking as many photos that he can take.

I think a building in austin that i would do that too is the austin energy because sense it is know for providing energy for austin but now that would see if the place is known for providing energy give the building energy 

Great Black and White photographers Part 2

My favorite photo is the one where the boy is pouring a light green and light blue to make a purple outcome .

I picked this photo because i really like  the concept of chemistry and then seeing that it could make that kind of outcome just makes me can't wait to do chemistry when I'm older 

The rules of photography that was in this picture i say balance because there is nothing taking away from the actual photo  and i would say simplicity because you can see that he is in the classroom but it would just be weird if he was at home doing this it would just be boring. But because that he  in the classroom has a better effect on people. 

The Story

Filling in the frame:Teacher torment :I say this because the two students actually help the photo more interesting then just the teacher him self doing something but thanks  to the students they just help 

The Story: Wonder: This is actually shows the most interesting stuff because it makes you wonder is this actually there first time touching or feeling hot ice and see how if you just apply a little water how much smoke you get. 

     Action and Emotion:Around the pole: This one for me shows the best action and emotion because think about it how many days do you see your students make a circle and in front of what it looks like the school flag pole
