Photo Manipulation and Ethics



A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images? 
Some of the posts I've read about on the website regarding manipulating images are that manipulating photos are becoming a bigger and bigger issue in today's society, and that it is important for ALL photo journalists to present the pictures in the most natural form possible.

B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation?
The philosophy of the popular newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times that regard to the manipulation of images are that the colors that are in the picture should not be changed.

C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation?
Some things that I think would be acceptable of not crossing the line into an unethical manipulation would be: it's okay to change how the lighting in the picture is, for example, if you take a really good picture but the lighting is too dark, it's okay to make it brighter.

D. This photo is the most unethical.That's because they manipulated the photo by adding a person into the photo to make it look like they were together. In this photo the two singers were not together. This makes the photo unethical because they changed the composition of the photo.

E. This is probably the least unethical. That's because the only thing that was done here was a minor cosmetic issue, by fixing the teeth. It's the least unethical because nothing major was changed in the composition. However, they did change the picture but they didn't take away the major focus.

Rule of Lines. This is rule of lines because the lines from the ceiling lead to the lines on the top shelf and the lines on the windows. The subject in the photo is the lines that lead to the lines in the windows. The subject is very clear. Rule of Balance. This is rule balance because the shape that her arm makes while she is writing is a triangle and in the back the paper, her folder, and her phone all make a rectangle. The main subject is the shape her arm makes. The subject is very clear. Rule of Thirds. This is rule of thirds because the direct subject is not in the middle of the photo, she is off to the side. The main subject is the girl on the left side of the photo. The subject is very clear. Rule of Simplicity. This is rule of simplicity because the main focus or subject is simple, it's the person holding the pencil. The subject is ver clear. Rule of Framing.

American Soldier

A. What is the most powerful image from the pictures printed in the Denver Post over the three weeks they published images from the year of coverage? Why? I think the most powerful image was the picture on 22A because it is a picture of Ian Fisher sitting all alone looking down thinking about how this is going to be the rest of his life. The picture is just really moving because the way I interpret it sends me a strong message. B. How do the images work together to tell a story? These images work together to tell a story by showing Ian's journey form where he first began to where he finished his army journey. It has showed how much he matured over his time that he has served our country. C. How do the captions enhance the photographs?

Ian Fisher is beginning to start his career...
