4) I don't believe it's ethical to chnge someone's appearance like this in a photo because, once you change it this much it doesn't even look like the person anymore.
5) Yes, all situations when this amount of manipulation is made is unethical.
6) Things like removing blemishes and minor wrinkles are okay, but when you start changing the person's body or facial structure, that's not okay. 
7) Fashion photography is often used to sell a product or promote a certain designer, while in photojournalism we learn about a lot of different types of photography and use them to tell a story.
8) Each type of photography has a connection to the reality of the photographer. Personally, I don't think that affects the ethical practice of them.

Self Portraits and Portraits Part 1

1. Alter Your Perspective

2. Experiment with Lighting

3. Shoot Candidly/Move Your Subject Out of their Comfort Zone

Environmental Portraits

 I picked these photos because they tell a story and show the subject's environment. 

Self Portrait

I picked these self portraits because, they're creative, unexpected, and not your typical self portrait. 

Casual Portrait

I picked these photos because, they are simple and don't appear too posed.

For my portrait assignment, I plan on shooting a few of my friends and my little sister. I'll most likely shoot in and outside my house, but if I'm lucky I'll shoot some downtown. To take successful photos, I will use the rules of photography and the 3 tips listed above. I'll also take multiple photos to make sure I get a good one.

 

 

DSLR

1) 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22
2) 1 sec, 1/60 sec, 1/4000 sec
3) 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, 25600

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 6400

1) The advantage of using high ISO is you can capture movement when there isn't enough light.
2) The author suggests using the lower ISO most often and when there's plenty of light.
3) High ISO should be used when there's not enough light.

    b. fast

3) Auto: camera automatically sets shutter speed
Shutter Priority: you set shutter speed/camera sets aperture
Manual: you set shutter speed and aperture

Apperture

  F2.8

 F16

 1) the eye (pupil)
2) The smaller the aperture opening, the higher the aperture f-stop number.  
3) The aperture size effects the amount of a photo that appears in focus, or the depth field. The bigger the aperture, the smaller the depth field.
