Ethics in Fashion Photography.

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
They cover all the blemishes on her face they put on a lot of make up and
on the computer they make her neck longer and her eyes bigger they change her hair also.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
Well i think its ok in this case its for a product and well its not so bad but i guess in some way it is since
lots of people will be"tricked" Into buying these products without knowing that the girl in the picture is
really very different.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Yes if it be for bigger causes like cheating in a contest or something like that but
otherwise i guess they're just  trying to persuade people into buying their product.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Maybe fixing her blemishes but completely changing her appereance its wrong in my eyes.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Well fashion photography is more of the next new trend a lot of photographers catching pictures
of these models and publishing them i think photojournalism could be based on fashion (only catching
photos of models in fashion clothing)
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
well every picture you take has a meaning to the photographer and well its up to the photographer
to either leave it the way it was or just changing it up for sometimes good or ambitious reasons.
