Photography and ethic

 

 

 

Portrait pictures has always been my favourite style of pictures. I love taking pictures of people and their faces. I believe that when you shoot pictures you can save that to be a memory for your lifetime. Today I photographed my roommate, it was just a simple outside photoshoot. It took a whole day of planning the place, clothes, makeup and hair production, the result was awesome, but after shooting those pictures I love editing because I believe you can enhance the picture and you can bring out what is on your mind to the actual picture.  As photography is art, when editing the photos, we can show what is on our mind.

In this photoshoot I have created filters to enhance the scenario of this photoshoot, I wanted to show the heat of the summer, warming up these pictures, I mostly played with the temperature(increasing), decreasing highlights, and shadows on Adobe Lightroom.

I think my photos are straight forward to the audience, I think that they can understand that I am just showing that it’s a photoshoot with a beautiful girl in a sunny summer day. To confuse or misguide the audience I would have to do much more photoshop editing which I don’t know how to use yet. They are not much different from the original, I haven’t change anything besides playing with the temperature, that’s the main difference from the original pictures. My photographs are only personal photographs and to be used as a memory, my photographs can’t be used as press photography because I am not recording or documenting any news, or currents events impacting the history. My photographs are only for personal use and moments that are only interesting only to the people being photographed.  

            My pictures could be considered as an art, I composite, create, and edit, the main difference between art and press photography is that press photography are usually to document, record events to the newspapers or tv news.

 



      Photography is an art, and I believe that photography can be modified pictures for a better purpose. Photography in general used to create moments and emotions when the pictures are being taken by the photographers they are trying to show whatever is on their mind as an expression of an art.
