1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
-her neck was made to look longer
-her face was made to look skinnier
-her eyes were digitally enhanced to look bigger
-her lips were enhanced to look bigger
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I don't think it is because then what you are looking at is not even a real person and it is impossible to look like that so you feel bad about yourself because you can't look "beautiful".
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
It depends, like if it is for a commercial, then of course your model will be wearing make-up, but you should not have her digitally enhanced.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
No changes that are done on the computer are okay, if it is like putting on make up and doing hair then that is fine.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
With fashion photography everything has to be perfect and has a standard you have to met for it to look good, photojournalism isn't like that, with photojournalism, you are accepted the way you are and all photo's are considered beautiful and perfect.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
With fashion photography, everything has to be perfect, so you want to enhance and make everything look the way you want it no matter how much you change it, with photojournalism, the pictures you take don't have to look perfect to everyone, usually your the only one that it really matters who likes it.
