Week 8 EOC: Is she fair game.

With the experience and the knowledge that I’ve acquired, I do feel that any image is fair game. Of course the subject must be in public but now in these days a subject could be out of the public’s eye and they are still being exposed and those images are fair game.

Tons of photographers in the world are out in public looking fair that right moment and being able to have the advantage to capture that moment. In legal aspects anybody that is out in public is able to capture an image of anyone. They call this photojournalism. The public is for the public and what ever is being done in public is for the public’s interest to know about it. 

EOC: Week 7 Biggest challenge to complete my business plan

I feel that the biggest challenge to completing my business plan would be looking for all the legal paper for starting a new business. I understand that this challenge is petty but I feel that creating a business plan of something that you are so involved and is your passion should not be difficult at all. This business plan had its challenges but challenges that help understand the reasons for being involved in photography.

These easy steps to our business plan detail tons of information that will help my photography business to be successful.

Another challenge that I did confront would be networking my business to banks. Not having the confidence that I need to poses is hurting me at this time and is something that I need to overcome for banks to be able to give me their opinion about how my business plan could work in the publics eye. 

Week 6 EOC:Ron Galella, first amendment

Having the opportunity to take a look at how Ron works is a great way of how others interfere others private life. I understand that we have a freedom to be able to do what we need to do for a way to bring income, but the form of way Ron and other paparazzi’s work is an invasion of privacy.

I feel that the first amendment is being abused when a paparazzi is defending himself in front of the court of law. I feel that in some case they are taking part of their journalistic duties but the way they capture the image is what is damaging to others. Coming out of bushes, or destroying private property by making a hole in there hedge or climbing a tree is a form that will provoke mental stress to the subject that is being photograph.

I feel that restraining orders help the subject only to some degree. The paparazzi will raise the measures more now then before because the subject’s photo is going to be worth more.  I feel that there should be a law that prohibits paparazzi’s of not being in clear view of the subject. Being able to be in clear view will allow that subject to protect themselves by any means necessary.

With all this said, I dislike the work of paparazzi’s, but it is work and it is some type of art in their eyes. The after math of the paparazzi is remarkable and interesting. 

Week 5 EOC: Horse race and Unicorns

When I first started thinking about a business, I had trouble to pin point exactly what genre I would like to follow. I come from an artistic family and I try to not make photography as a work thing, but just like everything, we need to make money of what we do. With that said, I am thinking of starting a studio that concentrates with portrait photography and event photography. I also would like to start a chain of studios that will be contracted all along the west coast to high priority clients. I would like to be able to have a main photographer at each studio and one assistant. Later I would like to have a team of five individuals in a studio to be able to capture, process, and print and also be able to have a regional sales man for the entire region.

Week 5: Four Photographers

Jeremy Cowart

What I enjoyed a lot about Jeremy website was his portfolio about women and iPhoneography. At first I didn’t understand what he meant as iPhoneography, but I guess there is a new wave and a start to this genre. This front of the website is the photographers face which sells him a lot rather then his photos and I enjoy that. The design to his website is also great. I feel that this site would be a business site.

Mitchell Kanashkevich

Mitchell website is very basic but yet to the point. I feel that his genre of photography is based on traveling street photography or journalism. I will admit that all his images are breath taking with a great amount of meaning and they are rich with color. The expressions on his subject’s portray a story line that identifies the location of the photograph. Mitchell site would be a business site

Joon Brandt

I adore Joon’s work. A lot of his work reminds me of Sandy Skoglund’s early work and also David LaChapelle work. Tons of Joon’s work has a great amount of humorous. The images of Joon are all computer edited and in great quality. I had a hard time with Joo’s site but I do feel that this is a business site.

Fredrick Clement

This website is my least favorite. I had a hard time navigating the website to find out who the photographer was and also it took up to much time to navigate his portfolio. Some of his images was not exactly the most impressive in my opinion. I felt they had very low lighting and also hard to read to exactly what they were. Fredrick site to me was a glamour site.

Week 5 BOC: Who won the Super Bowl?

While reading foxnews.com, they reported the two corporations that made out well during the super bowl was Version mobile and Disney. Reports are saying that this Super bowl was televised thru television and also mobile devices with the help of Verizon mobile. 100 million viewers was the estimated total with the help of Version Wireless.

Also, Disney made well, with having volunteers in the customer service department. It was reported that the customer service at the Super Bowl was “flawless”

Many have thought that the commercials were the highlight of the event but not this year with all the commercials accessible thru online access weeks before the game. With all this said, Version was the real winner in the Super Bowl.
