Session 2

The first thing we discussed in the second lecture of the term was based on a question - 

What ethical questions are raised in the creative industries?
The answers to this question are completely personal opinion, however the answers below do not necessarily relate to my opinion. They are notes from the group discussion.

Graphic design
-Promotion of anything bad for your health
-Airbrushing - unrealistic views of people

Photography
-airbrushing
-image consent form (under 16)
nude images being published e.g. Linsey Lohan photo that was released on the front of newspapers.

Fashion
- using animal fur or animal products
-the size and health of models. 


The second half of this lecture was based on looking further into photography - 
What is Photography?
Including the meanings I took away from the previous lecture, I found more meaning. 
It is the Art or process of capturing photographic imagery.

Niecephore Niepce took the first ever photo in 1825.



In the 1800's, photos had no title, they were only used for either educational purposes or to keep record of something or someone.

Edward Muybridge was the first person to create movement with a series of photos.




"Photography is one of the new media forms that changes perception and changes the structure of society"
