Phobia Project

A. What is a phobia?
   an extremely strong dislike or fear of someone of something

B. List and define 5 phobias from The Phobia List:
     Alektorophobia- fear of chickens
     Anglophobia- fear of England or English culture, etc.
     Ichthyophobia- fear of fish
     Logophobia- fear of words
     Zemmiphobia- fear of the great mole rat

C. Brainstorm on your blog possible ideas for a phobia shoot:
1. For the fear of insectophobia (fear of insects) I would chose someone with the fear to make the photograph look realistic. In the image the person with the fear of insects would be either inside the house or outside. The scenario of being inside the person would have a scared expression of their face and them equating son a chair, so they are away from the bug. The scenario of being outside the person would have a squeamish face while holding the insect.
2. For the fear of cynophobia (fear of dogs or rabies) I would have both a person and a dog, or several dogs, to make the photograph explain the story. There are two scenarios that can be used. The first scenario would be a person who jumped on the couch trying to get away form the two dogs sitting in front of them. In the second scenario I would have my two dogs chasing a person with a feared expression on their face running away from the dogs.
3. For the fear of automysophbia (fear of being dirty) I would have someone with dirt covered all over them or just on the hand. In both these scenarios I would have the person having a disgusted or feared fave while looking at the dirt on them. With the photograph with the person with just the dirty hand they would hold their hand as far away from themselves as possible. With the person covered in dirt they would have a disgusted face while outside.

D. What photo techniques can you use to highlight your images?
    Point of View
      Balance
      Lighting
      Simplicity

2016 REFLECTION

TOP 3 PHOTOGRAPHS- 

This image is one of my favorite photographs of 2016 because of the statement the image is getting across. This burning of the soon to be traded elephant tusk is showing that they should not be traded and that elephants should be respected.


This image is one of my favorite photographs of 2016 because of the clarity and the reflection into the water. I love the colors and the animal that this photograph shows.


This image is one of my favorite photographs of 2016 because of the action in it and the reaction on the fans faces. This image gives the viewers a laugh, it is an entertaining photograph.




INTERESTING THINGS OF 2016-

1. One of my favorite songs of 2016 is Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots. Stressed Out was one of the top ten songs of 2016, most people enjoyed it. Stressed Out became so famous because it was new and different. I believe Twenty One Pilots blew up in popularity in 2016 because of all the new songs that played on the radio all the time and people talked about them all the times, they went on tour and released several songs.


2. One of my favorite movies of 2016 is Star Wars: Rogue One. I loved this movie because love the the George Lucas movie series Star Wars. This new movie had lots of acton and explained the original Star Wars, it went in depth of the story behind it. I believe this movie was a big hit because of the the fact that it was one of the famous "Star War" films which most of the worlds population  know and hopefully love like I do.


3. One of the most widely talked about and important news stories of 2016 was the Presidential Election. I believe this news was the most important because this was the fate of our country. This election was played both correctly and dirty, by both the presidential candidates. Me personally, am glad about the turnout of our presidential elect Donald Trump, while most of Austin Texas is not. This election news story brought the people of society to panic and some times turn against each other.


4. In my opinion the most important person of 2016 was Donald Trump. I believe this because he is our new President Elect and is about the be the president of our country. The people of the world have created many different opinions about Trump and assume different things about this man that are and are not true. I would expect Donald Trump to be the most talked about person in 2016 because he is a vey important man that a lot people do not trust and believe he is not the right leader for this country. I am one of the people who try to defend Donald Trump and say good things about him  to support him while others do not.


5. The biggest sporting event of 2016 was the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro. I believe this was the most popular because it is a world wide event that have the best athletes of the world. These 2016 summer olympics held in Rio are very important because it determines who has the best of the best athletes and who are the best of the best athletes. I believe that this event should have been the most talked about in the world like it was.



WINTER BREAK-

1. One thing that I will remember one the break was eating together with all my family at my grandparents house in Jacksonville Texas. At the house there were fourteen people plus a dog, this was the first time we were all together for Christmas in a long time.

2. My resolutions for 2017 is not procrastinate and become a better family member and friend.

3. In 2017 I am looking forward to track tryouts and summer.

"A MAN ON THE MOON"
1. I chose this image because of the setting of outer space and that this image is one of a kind an interesting, because the photo shows the first men on the moon. The reflection in the astronauts helmet and the setting caught my eye.
2. This photograph taken by Neil Armstrong was of Buzz Aldrin as he stood on the moon on July 20, 1969. The image is one of Aldrin standing awkwardly on the moon glancing at his checklist on his wrist.
3. I read that Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon but really didn't care to be the first because he "earned a different kind of immortality" then Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Although Aldrin didn't have the glory of being the first he had the glory of having his picture taken on the moon.

"MUHAMMAD ALI VS. SONNY LISTON"
1. I chose this image because of the excitement and victory on the photograph. The crowds reaction as well as Mohammad Ali's reaction caught my eye.
2. This image taken by Neil Leifer was known as the greatest sports photograph of the century, which was a photograph of Muhammad Ali as he taunted Sonny Liston. To get this amazing photograph, Leifer had to be in the perfect spot and get his timing just right, which he accomplished.
3. In this video I learned that this video was taken during the civil rights movement, and that he joined the black-muslim section and that he had changed his name. People couldn't believe that Ali had defeated Sonny.

2. This photograph taken by Richard Drew in was a image of man falling off a building while it was collapsing on 9/11. The falling man was not identified but was known to be in a collapsing building.
3. While Drew was watching the building collapse he noticed that people were falling out of the building, he started to take photographs of the people falling. The "Falling Man" image became a nation wide sensation.

"V-J DAY IN TIMES SQUARE"
1. I chose this image because I wanted to learn the background of the image, and the two people kissing in the photograph caught my eye.
2. This photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in 1945 was a photograph that was taken of a sailor who grabbed a nurse, tilted her back, and just kissed her.
3. Alfred Eisenstaedt, the photographer, along with 4 other photographer were hired by LIFE magazine "to find and catch the storytelling moment". I believe Alfred did a great job of capturing the prompt by capturing a image that tells a powerful, exciting story.

2. The photograph, "The Pillow Fight",was taken by Harry Benson in 1964 is of the Beatles having a pillow fight in "the swanky George V Hotel".
3. In the video I learned that at first, Benson did not want to work with the Beatles, but after he went to their concert he had a great desire to work with them. One night when the Beatles were given great news they began to have a pillow fight and Benson just began to take photographs and captured a very dramatic photo.

PROMPT SHOOT #3

EDGES


NUMBERS

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

1.  VIDEO #1: Photoshop Face Changes:

-eyes were made bigger

-lips were made bigger

-neck was made longer & slimmer 

-forehead was made more oval

-shrinks head

2. VIDEO #2: Photoshop Body Changes:

-skin tone made lighter 

-made neck longer

-made shoulders higher 

-slimed stomach & breast 

-slimmed legs

-made feet smaller 

-made legs longer

-made arms longer 

3. VIDEO #3: Photoshop General Changes: 

-gave more hair with more volume

-took off body fat (made model skinny)

-slimmed arms, legs, & stomach 

-made breast bigger 

-changed skin tone

-smoothed out skin

4.  It is not ethical acceptable to change a persons appearance. In these videos they made drastic changes to the models, which is unacceptable. It is unacceptable because these videos are making the women totally different people, somebodies appearance doesn't define them, this may make people feel like they are not good enough or pretty enough. 

5. It is even more unethical to photoshop bodies when doing advertisements. I believe it is more unethical when selling items because the business is showing false advertisements and changing the models appearance for money. The sellers are lying to the buyers, or the people. 

6. I believe there are only some ethical changes to make in photoshop on bodies. It is ethical maybe to give a model a lighter skin tone maybe to give the model a "glow" or add mak-up to cover a mixed skin tone or blemishes, but this is all.

7. In fashion photography most of the time the subject of the photograph is trying to advertise with beauty models. Fashion photography is of models and beauty. In photojournalism the subject of the photography is not always models, and is usually not trying to sell something. Ans photojournalist write about news, or just simple photography. 

8. Reality isn't "perfect". the fact that people use photoshop to make something look better protest his fact,  this shows us ethically it is wrong, and that everything is not what we want it to be.

9. I believe that you are showing us these videos so we understand what is unethical and unacceptable aspects in photoshop and so we understand the different parts of fashion photography. I also believe that you are trying to show us that advertisement is not always true, we can't trust what we see.

10. None of these videos were of men because in present day women are considered the "sexy" ones and are more self-contious about their bodies. Because a lot of the women population are uncomfortable wth their bodies, these images are falsely advertising what they could be.
