Blog Post 8: Recreate
For this post I recreated Taylor Swifts album cover with my friend Lauren. Although it does not accurately depict the album and definitely doesn't do it justice, it shows how easily an image can be altered to any desired outcome. I used numerous editing softwares as well as Adobe Photo Shop to recreate this image to reflect the album cover just as many photographers. They accomplish the same task with their photographs to make them end with their desired look for a model or image.
Again playing with the idea that photos are fake and can easily be manipulated with.

Even though you are not a professional photographer, you definitely do the real photo justice. I also agree with the point that you're trying to make. Although, that only goes to show how if you can come that close to making something look close to the real thing, it is incredible what a professional photographer with high tech skills is capable of doing. There are many programs out there that are available for the average Joe taking pictures with their new expensive camera but there are even more programs available and more correctly used by professional photographers. These program enhance and edit photos in ways that are unimaginable. I believe that people need to realize that photography has become so advanced that the public needs to learn the difference between what is real and what is fake in a photo. Things nowadays are not always what they seem to be in the photos and things are also easily messed with to produce something "better". There is always a desired look that a photographer has in mind when capturing and editing a photo and people must remember this because this means that photographers take what is "natural" in the world and photo shop it. (making it the complete opposite). Whether photographers decide to take "real" photos of the world will always be assured in our minds. Whether they decide to release them that way, is another question.
