Manipulation Of Digital Photography And Fashion Photography

Photoshop has many uses. It is used to design posters and create art. However, it has negative uses too. For example, manipulating images. Manipulation using Photoshop to alter model’s bodies in the media negatively impacts society by creating an image that imposes an unrealistic body standard and is the root cause of recent adolescent eating disorders. Peoples of all genders are impacted by the modification of model’s bodies. Whether it be one is not skinny enough or one does not have enough muscle, it generates a frequent belief that one’s body is not good enough.

Digital Photography has become one of the most simplified and effective way of capturing and using the images. Digital images are very high in quality and also with the ease of viewing, editing and transferring it to any computers or mobile devices making it a very cost effective way of managing the images (Kornhaber, Betihavas, & Baber, 2015).

Photography has come into existence due to the evolution of the renaissance craft, which often involved the artistic creation, and documentation of occasions, figures, and memories. Photography as a practice that consists of so many different styles and techniques that vary in regard to the school of photography being used. For example the Pictorialist thinks of photography as a type of fine art and therefore try to make it artistic by using pictures or visual images, which furthermore establishes their point that photography is an art or a form of fine art, on the other hand the Modernist has adapted to the modern techniques which has more focus on the sharp center of the image and using the camera as an instrument rather than seeing it as a canvass which is usually how pictorialists see it, and they also believe in creating very high quality images which

Until now, photography has a profound influence on paintings ever since optical devices were introduced in the art society. However, the concept of photography influencing painting has been very controversial. While some artist appreciates the development of photography and embraces the impact towards their own works,

Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn’t be ignored, but preferred. The digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the art form obsolete in today’s society.

A world without photography seems merely impossible to the modern age humans. Photography is seen throughout our everyday lives, from the television, to smartphones, and on our computers, it seems impossible to avoid it. But why would we want to? Photography is a vision, a memory, a moment captured in time that makes it possible for humans to share these moments with others. But more than times than not, these moments, visions, photographs are altered, manipulated, and distorted to influence, and change the audience’s view. By analyzing the many methods the photographer’s ways of manipulating, altering, and the distortion of the truth of their works, one can conclude that not everything shown is accurate and often overlooked by the

He also indicates that post photo shoot manipulation started a century ago in the darkroom, but new technology in the profession of photojournalism brought positive and negative outcomes. For example, the new technology has the ability for faster and easier photo manipulation. He recommends the need for further study and the need for an improvement in photojournalist practice to

A visual image is determined by the viewer, and this concept of user opinion is difficult to challenge. Rose continues by explaining that there are multiple sites in which the meaning of an image is made, beginning with “the site of the production of an image, the site of the image itself, and the sites where it is seen by various audiences” (Rose, 2016:16), which are followed by a set of modalities. Such modalities include; technological, compositional and social. The technological aspect refers to a visual technology as “any form of apparatus designed either to be looked at or to enhance natural vision” (Rose, 2016:17), this ultimately means the evolution of visual images from early paintings to television to the modern era of the internet. Compositional refers to the process of an image being made, such as the “spatial organization” (Rose, 2016:17), the actual content of the image and lastly the colour. The last modality explained by Rose is the social aspect, which refers to “the range of economic, social and political relations” (Rose, 2016: 17), meaning the socially constructed practices that interpret the image at face value (use and or visual). Photography is a technology that has been described as a medium of recording the world in a realistic way. There are technological effects that contribute to the construction of an image, some methods of looking at a visual image can be deemed unnecessary to be considered technologically produced, as images must be carefully analyzed. Rose writes, “the social to the production of images depend on rather more detailed analyses of particular industries which produce visual images” (Rose, 2016:21), which further explains the importance of taking into account all aspects of an image. Rose draws on the importance of an image by writing, “every image has a number of formal components” (Rose,

Though some of the points that will be made might not benefit everyone equally, they should be equally analyzed as well. Marion McConaghy’s article, Digital Imagery Technology, discusses how incorporating traditional art media with digital imagery technology can help people in therapy express themselves by altering images. Image-altering programs allow the client to start an image from scratch, enhance or reinterpret artworks made in the virtual studio or imported into it by using the editing options such as tools and filters. The client may alter the image to represent how they feel by communicating through the expression of pictures rather than

Portrait photography, and specifically fashion photography, is without a doubt one of the most Photoshop-influenced genres of photography today. Practically every image you look at today on the cover of every magazine is digitally altered. In some cases, changes are very subtle, but in most cases, people go through complete transformations, making them look drastically different compared to the reality. Such retouching changes are so common today, that they are now widely accepted as a “normal” practice to make the model or celebrity look flawless. So where is the fine line between what should be considered ethical and what should not? That’s another tough one to answer, because there will be people defending both sides heavily.

In today’s society, technology and art go hand in hand. Art has been around for a long time but technology such as computers are still very new. These two mediums have comingled and now evolve and effect the other. Art has changed to reflect the vast improvements technology has contributed to communication and the ability to create using digital space. Technology has also changed with artist pushing the boundaries of what is technical possible in the digital realm. Much of today’s art is created and presented in digital formats. The question of whether digital art is truly art has risen among many critics in the art community.

Digital art is a general term for a range of works by the artists who use digital technologies as a major part of the processes of creation and representation (Paul, 2006). Specifically, digital technology refers to the application of computers as media and partners for the artists in creating art works. However, digital industry is often a vague term and does not clearly define the final form of the art work. In his book called Art of The Digital Age, Wands (2006) has classified digital art works based on their final tool to digital prints, sculpture, installations and virtual reality, performance, music and art of sounds, video and animation, software, databank, and the art of gaming. He says although many digital arts including digital picture

Businesses have countless applications for the computer software known as Photoshop. The software is such an integrated part of society that businesses and scholarly articles assume people have prior knowledge of what it is and what it does. Photoshop is defined by Oxford as trademarked digital image-editing software to alter photographic images. It is an industry standard for digital graphics and has many applications to various businesses and media. Lev Manovich wrote in Inside Photoshop that to count up the number of options in Photoshop and then count all the options each option subsequently contains, that the total number of options the software allows for would be in the thousands. Professionals in media, education, research, and many businesses utilize the software. However, there is controversy surrounding the use of Photoshop in advertisements that edited models to unrealistic levels, because of the impact those images have on society. Nonetheless, Photoshop is widely used and has revolutionized business and integrated into many industries not limited to media or photography.

In the last decade computer technology has been introduced to photography yet again challenging the meaning
