1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
The model's neck was made longer, her hair was moved, her eyes were made larger and moved, her face was made thinner, and the color was evened.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
It is not ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like in this photo because it gives the viewer a false image of reality. Completely changing a person's image therefore having girls and other woman idolizing something that's not real.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
It might be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation if the advertisement actually said the photo was completely unaltered and it was a result of the product that they were selling.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Changes that don't distort the viewers idea of what is taking place are ok. Such as, manipulation that makes the photo clearer or fixes up the lighting.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
I think the difference between fashion photography and photojournalism are that in fashion photography the models are worked on as well as their photos altered whereas in photojournalism photos are taken in an unaltered setting and possibly edited or manipulated later.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
Photojournalism is related to reality in the sense that it grasps in photos what is taking place in the world around us. In fashion photography it relates to reality in the sense that it shows how we view beauty and how people think reality should be. This affects the ethical practice of each in the sense that they have to be careful of whether what they are changing will completely distort their intent by their photo and if it is an honest photo.
