We began looking over ethical issues within each subject area of photography, graphics and fashion. Getting into small groups to discuss them we came up with.
Fashion :
- Health issues, models weight and exposure of skin
- air brushing
- textiles and fabrics used including animal products, leather/fur.
- designer brands exploiting cheap labour
Photography:
- Laws considering peoples privacy
- taking pictures in a street
- using photos illegally, without consent
Graphics:
- Use of words used in adverts, they can be miss leading or read wrong
- Copyright, using others pictures to make photomontage.
What is photography:
-The art of process of producing images of objects
-The art, practice, or occupation of taking and printing photographs
-A body of photographs
Here is a list of some of the photographers and their work that interested my whilst look through a power point presentation.
Andy Rouse- Wildlife Photographer
I clearly remember his pictures and how sharp and in focus the animals were, he used a short depth of field so that the back ground was blurred making the colours merge together.
Daguerre, 1838/39, Boulvard du Temple
He was the first photographer to capture a person in an image because cameras had such long exposure times in the early stages of photography.
Oscar Rejlander
He used over 36 single plates to make a single image. This made people question the truth of a photo and just because you can see it, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is true.
Alice Boughton 1909, Nude
She was allowed to take photos of children with out being scrutinised unlike men. This was because women were more trusted and not penalised or judged for it.
Paul Strand 1915, Abstraction
I love the use of shadow, pattern and shape captured in Paul Strands photographs, as it makes them endearing and questions why he took a picture of it.
