Final Exam Extra Credit

1. The man, Ki Suk Han, was pushed down to the tracks by a panhandler, he was not strong enough to escape before getting hit by the train. The photographer, Abbasi, was running, using his camera flash to warn the train operator, that's how he got the photo.
2. The photographer said that he took the photo because he was unable to help Han himself.
3. I think that the photographer was right to take the photo, but wrong not to even try to help Han.
4. I do not think he did the best he could've done in the situation, I think he could've really helped Han out of there.
5. I do agree with running the photo on the front of the New York Post, it really draws attention to the situation, maybe there can be gates on the sides of the tracks?
6. I think that it honestly depends on the person, in my opinion, I think that I'd try to help, then take a photo.
7. Yes I do think it's ethical to go and get involved with the situation, trying to save somebody's life for instance.
8. No, I think that photojournalists shouldn't influence things if it'll benefit the situation better by helping.
9. At least try to help, even if you fail, you'd still make the effort and that's what matters.

Fashion Photography

1. Lips and eyes bigger, neck longer and thinner.
2. Hair longer, thinned out her arms, legs and stomach, legs longer, feet smaller, neck longer, changed skin tone.
3. Hair extended, made all of her body thinner and smaller, edited the size of some body parts.
4. No, it's not ethical to change and edit a person's appearance, it makes people want to look like them instead of themselves and it makes them self conscious, it gives them false hope of being perfect.
5. The plus size model being thinned out is just very wrong, it's not who she is and it's sad to think that she's brave enough to go out there and model lingerie, then to later be deprived of showing off who she is.
6. Changes that are OK, are fixing the models hair slightly, sometimes making them slightly tanner or covering up a few pimples. Changes that aren't OK, are thinning out models and making them someone they aren't.
7. The difference between fashion photography and photojournalism is that in photojournalism, there's only slight, necessary changes made to the photo, like the Levels. But in Fashion photography, they go above and beyond to edit the model to get as close to perfect as possible, it's unethical.
8. Photojournalism captures important pictures and they're made for telling stories. Fashion photography takes pictures and then dramatically edits the photos to sell the product faster.
9. I think you showed us these videos to show us that there's a line that can be easily crossed when editing photos.
10. I think that these weren't about guys because sexy sells, women are more easily drawn to be more like a perfect girl, men not so much.
