fashion

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)

     The model's lips were resized, her neck was elongated and reshaped, her hair was reshaped and repositioned, her eyes were resized and repositioned, and her nose and jaw was reshaped.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?

     It isn't ethical because the people who modify the photos are only using the model for a base of what they want to make up and the model is completely left out.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
     Yes there are circumstances in which this is ethically wrong, such as whenever people are modified for magazines and other stupid things like that.

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

     Small adjustments allowed by the model should be okay, but complete reshaping and modification as such isn't.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

     Fashion photography uses pictures as a base and then adds modification to get a desired result. Photojournalism takes pictures the way they are following rules and being creative to bend some of those rules.

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?


     Most of the time fashion changes photos from their reality, which could affect the models and other people view this as ethically wrong. Photojournalism uses the reality to create photos that are interesting to look at.
