Ethics in Fashion Photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
Her neck was pushed up, her eyebrows were pushed up, her neck was made skinnier, and so was her face.
Some of the changes that were made to the model's face were all the distortions made to it on the computer's program. Her neck was made longer, her eyes and cheeks were bigger.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I believe it is not ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance because, if for example in the video, the girl's face was changed to sponsor make-up. It is going to make people believe that the product can do stuff it can't. I think that it is not fair for others to change a person's appearance even with their consent.


3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
I think that all the circumstances are ethically wrong, it does not matter if one is less "ethically wrong" or "right".

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Changes that are OK to do are the ones made to non-living stuff. That is because no one is actually affected by its changes.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Photojournalism isnt as fake of an industry, in photj beauty is the eye of the beholder, in fashion photography beauty is in the eye of the majority population.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
People look towards fashion photography as a basis of what to wear and what not to wear, affecting how people dress. Photoj can provide an in depth look on parts of society that some people are unfamiliar with, influencing a persons point of view with new knowledge.
