Lytro warm-up & Ethics in Fashion photography

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
It let you pick where you wanted the picture to focus. And It Moved With Your Mouse.
2. How does this new camera work?

Rays of light entering the camera refract through the series of curved lenses and are captured on the light-field sensor. The micro-lens array in front of the sensor surface preserves each ray's direction. The light-field engine uses this information to process the image in 3D space, and determine the equivalent fixed physical lens-sensor distance for the chosen focal point. 






3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)

what each button does and what angle to take the photo at.


4. Is it worth the money?- i think it is.   




FASHION





1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
Made her lips bigger, gave her a longer neck, made her neck/shoulders thinner, made her eyes bigger, made her head smaller

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
No because while you are trying to be like the person you see on Billboards the person that's on it doesn't even look like that.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? Maybe changing the background color or stuff like that, not dramatically changing her look.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion are just trying to make the person look pretty, photojournalism is more like trying to tell a story.

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
