EXTRA CREDIT

1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo. 

The mans name is ki suk Han. He was pushed on to the tracks by a panhandler who has been harassing him. The photographer was at the scene when this occurred, the photographer tired to help him by flashing the camera flash at the train. The train wasn't able to stop fast enough to save the man. 

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?

The Photographer said that he was warning the train conductor by putting the flash on the camera. So thats how he got the photos.

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?

I personally don't think he should have taken the picture of the man when he needed help. but the photographer was just doing his job. This photographer has taken pictures like this before so he probably thought why not add to my collection. 

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?

The photographer could have done more in my opinion. the photographer could have went over to the man and helped him pull himself up off the tracks. The photographer was also smart to try and get the train conductors attention by flashing the camera flash and jumping up and down.

5. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post? Explain why or why not.

I do agree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the new york post because this photo could either open up peoples eyes or it could either make people sick. This picture opened up my eyes and told me that the world we live in is very cruel and cold.

6. What is more important to a photojournalist, capturing images of life as it happens or stopping bad things from happening? Why or why not?

To a photojournalist its more important to capture life has its happening then to try and prevent the bad ting from happening. This is more important to them because they want to have photos that show people what kind of world we really live in. 

7. Do you think it is ever ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs? Explain why or why not.

I don't think its really ethically acceptable because the photographer really doesn't know the full background story and the event leading up to what is happening in that very moment. The photographer could also make the situation way worse then it should be.

8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer. 

I don't think they should always avoid influencing event as they happen. If its a life or death situation then i think it would be ok to step in a help the person out. That i think is the only reason why they should influence events as they are happening.

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.All of the professional photograpghers are choosing a life or photographs. The professional photographers know what they are saying and asking about because a photo is not with someone loosing his or her life over and thats the most appropriate response from a professional photographer on this situation.

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not? 

I think that it is not ethical because when people edit someone's appearance these images are put into womens head and they will try to achieve the look. I think that editing images and changes appearances really takes a toll on women.  

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

To me it's ethically wrong in all situations. There are a lot of ads that say like true beauty and stuff like that but they edit the shit out the women in those ads. Sometimes they edit the person to where they don't even look the same. 

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

The little changes are Ok. The little changes are like smoothing out the skin and getting rid of blemishes, fixing hair just small stuff that won't make a really big difference. When editing a photo of somewhere i think that when the person doesn't even look like the same person that's when you know you have over done it with the editing.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

Photojournalism is anything in the real world. Photojournalism doesn't do heavy editing but it's more about the natural beauty in life. Fashion photography is based on fashion. Fashion is still a form of art but it is mainly to sell products. Fashion photography also uses photoshop heavily and tells the public that an unrealistic body is more beautiful them the one you have.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

Fashion photography tells lies to the public and puts unrealistic beauty standards in out heads. Since they are putting in our heads we need to have this product to make us fit this unrealistic beauty standard we will go out and buy this product fit the standard. photojournalism is in its raw form. In photojournalism we use levels and cropping to enhance the image for viewing purposes only. Photojournalism is also to show the viewer what happened at that event in that moment. 

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?

I think that you are showing us these videos because this needs to be addressed and be need to stop being oblivious to these real life issues. I think that since you showed us these videos that we really need to give our selfs a reality checks.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys?

There are no guys in these videos because guys are not put under beauty expectations but women are. All these videos are targeted towards women due to the beauty standards we are under.
