Fashion Photography
To what degree should the image be minipulated to go into fashion magazine?
When it comes to fashion photography everybody knows that the photo's have usually been minipulated and airbrushed but should we actually be minipulating the images because a good photographer shouldn't have there pictures airbrushed and and changed they should just be able to take a good shot and print it.
In this picture you can see that they have made her waste skinnier and her arms and legs, they have even changed the colour of her skin tone and even changed the way her knees look. Adverts and fashion magazines don't help with the way they make people look because they are portraying that you have to look that good even though in the before shot the models and actors don't look like that, fashion pictures shouldn't be munipulated because even the people posing for the picture could start to worry because they have been changed so much and could either not go for jobs or just really start worrying about the way they look. I don't think fashion pictures should be minipulated the way they are and they should just let the photographer do there job otherwise in a few years to come photographers won't have a job and all it will be a person made up on a computer.

Techniques of Arbus's work
After visiting the Tate gallery on Monday I realised that many different photographers see things and situations in different ways and they show that through there photographs. Diane Arbus started photography after she got married to her childhood sweetheart Allan Arbus who was also a photographer for the United States Army and then he started a photographic advertising business in Manhatten with Diane. Many people questioned her work even after she died, Arbus didn't want to be remembered as " the photographer of freaks" which is what she is most known for and I think that is what made her different because she wasn't afraid to take photographs of dwarfs, giants,transvestites, nudists and circus performers, all people that no one else at that time would think to take pictures of.
Diane and her husband contributed to the fashion world even though neither of them like the fashion world, Arbus also taught a photography course at the Parsons school of design and the cooper union in New York city. Her first major exhibition was at the Museum of modern Art in 1967 show called " New Documents". Her magazine assignments decreased as her fame as an artist increased, the day that Diane Arbus died was the day that a great talent was lost, Arbus took her own life on 26th July 1971 partly because she exsperienced depressive moods and her ex husband once said that she had 'violent changes of mood.' Many people have tried to copy her work but none have succeeded and I think that she has left a great example of how different people's styles can be and how the photographer can interpret a moment with one simple shot.

Photo Journalism Part Two
Robert Capa had two rules for photo journalism which where; First Rule- "Get Close" and the Second Rule- "Get Closer". Even though Robert Capa didn't have any army kit he still risked his life on the front line to get those shots, after the war and thoses shots came out more and more people started to understand just how awful the war actually was especially when pictures of young boys dead on the ground and blown up where shown to everyone, at the time more people would believe a picture rather than a painting and many people would have traded as many paintings as possible just for one picture.
Tony Vaccaro was also a war photographer but he was also a soldier so aswell as carrying around his camera he also had to carry around a standard army kit, Vaccaro's camera was a Argus C3 which wasn't the best camera especially when Capa had a Leica camera which was the better camera at the time but Vaccaro could get closer than Capa because he was a soldier and could get the images of them marching or he is there when the action kicks off. Before the images came out many people classed war as romantic so when the images came out some people were very shocked by what they where seeing, some of the photo's where classed as a desisive moment because there where pictures of the soldiers in the water and firing at people and they where there at the right time and they showed the men fighting for there country.
Tony Vaccaro developed pictures out there using some soldiers helmets as a way to develope the pictures and he left them out to dry on a tree but where soon destroyed because they showed images of dead GI's and the army thought the world wasn't ready for those images yet.
