4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
Not at all. To change someone's face and body to the point where one is offended watching the process is disgusting. The model was unrecognizable after the makeup and photoshop. It distorts young girls like myself, view of beauty and how we should look.
5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
It is ethically wrong under any circumstance to do this type of manipulation, but I personally feel that when the model is plus size it makes matters worse. It is teaching people that to be pretty you must be skinny and that's just so no right.
6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Types of changes could be adding a filter to your picture, or sharpening it up, or maybe making colors brighter in your image, or maybe fixing fly away hairs if your doing head shots for someone.
7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography is more of "fixing" and "manipulating" a perfect and appealing image for the public to be attracted to, and photojournalism is about "capturing" that powerful moment and "getting into the action" of life to get heart warming or heart breaking photographs that make you feel something.
8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
Fashion photography does not even have a type of reality, it is photoshopped and purified to the point of false advertisement and edited models. Photojournalism on the other hand is reality. It is the beating pulse of the people who walk the earth, the cracks and creases of the mud and grass, it is what is real and pure.
9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
I think you showed us these there videos to show us the dangers of photoshop and editing. We need to know what is ethical and what is not when editing a photograph of someone.
10. Why are none of these videos about guys???
In our society, girls are the ones who need to be pretty. Girls are the ones who need to be skinny. Girls are thrones that need to take suggestive pictures that are edited beyond ethical ways. So much is expected of girls and I think only recently it's starting to take a toll on women; we are just starting to fight back. Everyone is pretty, just the way they are.
