6 Photographers Invited to Photograph 1 Man Reveal the Power of Perspective Canon performed an experiment called Decoy to explore the power of perspective. This very visual project sought to find out how influential a photographer’s outlook can be. Six photographers were invited to participate, each one separately capturing a portrait of a man named Michael. On the day of the photoshoot, each artist was told something different about this man. Each photographer was given a different backstory for Michael, being told he’s one of the following: a commercial fisherman, a self-made millionaire, a recovering alcoholic, a man who’s saved a life, an ex-inmate, or a self-proclaimed psychic. After the portrait shoots were complete, the photographs were printed, hung in a room, and the six photographers were invited to view them together. “A photograph is shaped more by the person behind the camera than by what’s in front of it,” Canon concludes.

Become A Pro Photo Editor | Actions Presets Overlays Tutorials by Jackie Jean Bokeh is the blurred background (sometimes foreground) effect you see in photos.

Intelligence artificielle : art ou artifice ? | Usbek & Rica Début janvier, Usbek & Rica publiait un article d'Irénée Régnauld, un de nos lecteurs-contributeurs. Une interview de Cédric Sauviat, le président de l'« Association française contre l’intelligence artificielle » à propos de son « combat » contre l'intelligence artificielle. Aurélien Grosdidier a souhaité réagir à cette publication et nous a soumis le texte ci-dessous. Si la question de « l'IA » vous intrigue - et que vous avez vingt bonnes minutes devant vous - alors ce texte est fait pour vous ! L'intelligence artificielle (IA) alimente les fantasmes. La métaphore du jardinier Parmi les résistances francophones se trouve l'« Association française contre l’intelligence artificielle » (AFCIA). Une posture de principe nécessite des arguments si puissants qu'ils rendent facultative la confrontation à la réalité. Au-delà de ces arguments, une posture d'opposition par principe est une stratégie de défense dont je doute de l'efficacité.La résistance est au mieux palliative.

Sport : pourquoi les femmes sont-elles inférieures aux hommes ? | Usbek & Rica Plus grands, plus forts, plus endurants, les hommes sont plus performants en sport que les femmes. À court ou moyen terme, les femmes pourront-elles rattraper ce retard ? Certains critères, comme l’endurance, la puissance ou la force musculaire avantagent les hommes, tandis que d’autres, comme la souplesse, la stratégie et surtout le mental, sont souvent plus développés chez les femmes. « De nombreux messieurs ne l’admettent pas, mais sur la question du mental, il n’y pas à débattre : les femmes devancent les hommes. Je le remarque tous les jours », s’amuse Mickaël Hacherel. « Sur la question du mental, il n’y pas à débattre : les femmes devancent les hommes » Pour les sports les plus « physiques » et ceux qui exigent beaucoup d’explosivité, comme le rugby ou le 100 mètres, le coach est par contre plus catégorique : les femmes ne peuvent pas et ne pourront jamais dominer les hommes. Autrement dit : les hommes ont un net avantage musculaire.
Pourquoi les réseaux sociaux favorisent l'émergence des photographes américains People Are Posting Examples Of How Media Can Manipulate The Truth (12 Pics) – WebMDI The traditional TV news media has been having a rough time in the last few years. According to arecent survey, more Americans have a negative (43%) than a positive (33%) view of the mass media, and are finding it harder to be well informed because it is getting harder to determine which news is accurate. So what is media’s biggest problem? It’s bigotry. While ideally all types of media should be objective and hold power to account, in reality, we know that most news outlets are partisan and have their agenda to advance. Whether state-owned or run by some shady tax-avoiding billionaire, getting ‘the masses’ to view the world from a certain perspective has always been a priceless power to wield. So why is trust in the media so low? People have been posting examples of fake news and how media can use different techniques of deception, to trick you into seeing exactly what they wanted you to see.
