DOVE "Evolution"
1. Her neck, hair, lips, eyes, skin tone, and her cheeks were changed in the prosses of making the billboard.
2. I do think it's ethical to do it, if the technology exist than why not?
3.The only way it wouldn't be ethical to do it is in like a online account and making people think you look totally different.
4. I think all changes are ok, the thing that does matter is where you post those photographs and who you send them to. 
5. Photojournalism is like telling a storry or capturing an important or exciting moment in time, in the other hand fashion photography is all about eye catching, getting peoples attention and persuading them to be like them if its physical appearance, do what they do or wear the clothing they wear.
Lytro
1. The photograph focuses on wherever you click on. It blew my mind first time i seen it
2. Lytro camera captures the whole light field which gives you the ability to focus on something   diffrent even after you take the picture.
3. A photographer needs to know about framing, avoiding mergers and about how to get depth in the picture.
4. If you are a person that loves to take pictures every where he/she goes than yea because its a very unique and diffrent way to take pictures. All I know is that if I had the money i would get it

4 - If you can, hook up your camera directly to your computer (or, for extra-fancy bonus points, your TV) so you can see your pictures come up as you take ‘em. It’s a lot easier to iterate and to make gradual improvements to your photos that way. 
5 - Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.
9 - Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.

Get Closer
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.
Settings—The Other Subject
The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it.

1.You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in. Place a mirror just behind the camera, and do your final posing in the mirror. This method also requires a self-timer, or a remote triggering device if your camera has one. Once again, if you use a self-timer, you'll need to get into position before it goes off. 
2.Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.
