A. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of “news”-related photographs.
I looked up the Detroit News Website as a referance to this question and found that most of the pictures had a variety of people in them. In each photo there were people that demonstrated a certain emotion. All of the photos I saw were candid, none seemed posed. The photos illustrated the stories presented with each article
B. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of “snapshots”, including family photographs, cell-phone shots, photos posted to facebook,
Most photos on facebook seem posed. The photos seem to be taken in times of leisure, such as going to the bar, on vacation, or group settings. The snapshots are taken when people are having a good time. Not so much everyday life but when exciting fun things are happening.
C. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of advertisement photographs, including fashion photography, product photography, etc
Advertisement photographs focus on selling a product. The people posed in the photos tend to be beautiful, healthy and happy people. The product is ussually the center of attention and vibrant colors and poses help to sell the product.
D. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of film/movie and television stills.
Again, like adversements films and movies tend to highlight aspects of people that are exciting and entertaining. Ussually beautiful and fit people are the focus of the film. However, the story influences many how the characters may dress and look in films. Though generally actressess and actors are presented as beautiful people there are exceptions to benefit the quality of the film.
E. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of yearbook photos, senior pictures, and team/club/sports group shots.
In these photographs everything seems staged. I have had many yearbook pictures taken of me over the years and I know that the experience is usually quick, staged and on to the next person. This type of photography doesnt always catch my best side and the photo looks very posed.

F. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of stock images. http://www.corbisimages.com/ http://www.gettyimages.com/
I wasn't sure what stock images were. After looking at both these websites I was more confused. I found various shots of celebrities and then some cartoonish images. Seeing no similarities I looked up the definition and learned that stock images are images that can be used by artists to create something new.

G. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of fashion photography.
Fashion photography usually focuses on the innovation of clothing. The people in the photos are usually beautiful and well put together however the unique thing about fashion is the ability to change someone's view of beauty. For example I was looking at some advertisements in vogue and many featured a young woman with long gray hair. Though the image was different and most young girls strive to avoid gray hair the images were beautiful in there own way.

H. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of paparazzi shots or celebrity photographs.
Paparazzi shots capture a celebrity in their day to day life. Some photographers find them at their worst while others find celebs looking glamourous. Either way paparazzi shoot to take photos that are candid.
