Fashion Photography

Video 1: Changes to the models face
The models lips were enlarged, her neck was stretched, her eyes were lowered and enlarged, her hair was moved down, her ears were shifted, and her collarbone was moved inward.
Video 2: Changes made to the models body
The models shoulder was raised, her skin was lightened, part of her stomach was erased, her legs were stretched out, her feet were made smaller, her arms were stretched out, her neck was raised, and part of her neck was erased.
Video 3: List the changes that were made to the model in the computer
Legs were shrunk, Arms were shrunk, parts of her body were erased, her torso was shrunk, her back was shrunk, her hands were shrunk, parts of her legs were erased, her entire body was shrunk, parts of her body was raised, her hair was raised up, her hair became longer,  her stomach was erased, ad her bodes color levels were changed. 

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
Its not ethically acceptable to change a persons appearance like in these photos because it is very demeaning and makes women feel bad about their bodies. 
5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? I don't think there are circumstanced in which it would be more ethically wrong t do this type of manipulation. 
6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Changes that are okay would be minor changes made to a persons face, the changes that aren't okay wold be changing a persons body like in the videos. 
7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Photojournalism tells a story and shares information while fashion photography doesn't have any real purpose other than to show people opinions on fashion. 
8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? Photojournalism records what is going on in the world and fashion shows what trends are good and bad.       
9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?  I think you showed us these 3 videos because the information is useful for our magazine project.
10. Why are none of these videos about guys??? None of these video are about guys because people want to look at pictures of girls because they are more "mesmerizing".
