Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Photo Manipulation has been used for a while now by many photographers and editors. If something doesn't go as planned for a photographer, they just take the picture at that moment and later they decide to add or even remove people or objects from their original photo to a whole different photo to get what they desire. Editors do this almost all the time knowing if they get caught they can ruin their careers and maybe even their lives. Many have been caught in the act of doing this and were rewarded a lost of a job and a lost of their hard work. Doing this isn't always the smart thing to do. I believe people should not try to make their pictures better if it means losing their jobs and all of their work, even if they have been in the photography business for the longest time.

Most Unethical

Out of all the photos that have been unethical, I believe this one is the most unethical because they have put Oprah's head on Ann Margaret's body. Clearly you can see that Oprah does not have the body of Ann, and because of this, people found out something sketchy about this photo and this editor got what was coming for him.

Least Unethical 

This National Geographic Magazine was edited to move the pyramids closer together to fit in the cover. I chose this as the least unethical because you can't really tell they did this because most people don't know the difference in distant between each pyramid, unless they search it up or actually try to find something wrong with this photo.

National Geographic Warm-Up

I chose this photo because any picture taken underwater, to me, is like one of the coolest things ever. I also chose this photo because in the description said that the diver were going free diving, meaning they go under water on only one breath with no scuba gear, and that is crazy because anything could happen if he didn't have his oxygen tank. I also like the way they edited the picture to one color and how the diver is lying at the bottom of the sea.

2. two positive things about anthony photos in his blog are that all the pictures are focused and not blurry.

3. one thing that could be improved about his photos are that he could've zoomed in so that the object could be seen more clear and is in a bigger size.

40 Greatest Photos Ever.

 The reason I chose this photo was because I think its crazy that back then colored people weren't allowed to do as much things as the whites, but now you see two colored men at the olympics getting rewarded for their great performance. I like the way the photographer took the picture while both men holding their arms up as they celebrate their olympic metals. I think this photo made the best 40 because not only does it look good, but the message behind it, of achieving something great no matter your skin color.

 I chose this photo because Ive always thought being in the army took guts and this photo just shows it. showing you soldiers getting a disadvantage as they get off a boat to enemy territory. This is a great photo that caught my eye because of how the photographer had guts to even think of taking a photo while being at war. I think this photo made the best 40 because it has the solders in action and not in a pose, so it seems like your in the photo.

I chose this photo because not only is it a good photo but because of the emotion in it as the dog is feeling sad because he doesn't have his owner with him anymore. this photo caught my eye because of how the photographer cause a sad moment as it is happening. I think this picture made the best 40 because i believe everyone who seen this picture felt the same way as they felt sad for the dog.
