Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer:
Zero blemishes or acne, widened eyes, widened lips, curled hair
2. List the changes that were made to the model's body in the computer:
zero blemishes, skinnier stomach and legs, lengthened legs, widened neck, smaller feet, changed entire skin tone
3. List the changes that were made to the model in the computer:
made entire body skinny
4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
These changed are very unethical changed and unrealistic. They can effect anybody's perception of beauty making someone out to have an unachievable beauty. 
5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
I believe all changes like in these videos are unethical and any sort of body manipulation to help someone achieve this type of beauty is immoral. 
6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I don't think changing someones body in anyway is ethical.
7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography are people attempting to sell a product by putting it on a beautiful person whereas in photojournalism they attempt to shoot the realism of situations and not sugar coat anything, in most cases.
8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? 
Photojournalists are shooting for news purposes which causes one to shoot ethical pictures and not sugar coat the reality of the situation whereas fashion is just a trend and must be sugar coated to make money and sell products more efficiently. 
9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
You're showing us these videos to make us realize how wrong, unethical and immoral manipulation can be.
10. Why are none of these videos about guys???

Guys don't need to achieve to perfect beauty like girls feel as if they need too.
